Karma Chameleon

When you read so much about someone but don't know them (like me) I am sure you wonder what my voice sounds like.   It is hard to give you the full effect, unless I posted a video of me talking, which I am not going to do, so I thought I would give an example.

Over my years, I've had mixed thoughts on my voice, some men thought it was high pitched, others low, others thought I could be a good phone sex operator, and a few times  I had a raspy voice from a sore throat/laryngitis I was told it was sexy.

About two years ago, I was playing one of my niece's wii game where you sing in a microphone and the game kept score about how well you can keep in tone with that bobble note.  The game was contagious - just like rockband - so I sang quite a bit of songs....which would be very unfortunate for you if you were with me.  While I am not sure if I have a decent voice, I know for certain I can not sing.  I usually only sing when I am home alone or in the car.  It is hard to be in a car with someone and a song I love comes on and I can't sing along for fear of the other person intentionally crashing to avoid my singing.

But after about 30 songs of getting no more than 50%, I finally found a song I was able to sing with over 90% accuracy in that game:
Culture Club  - Karma Chameleon

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listened to your lies would you say
I'm a man
without conviction
I'm a man
who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go
Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red gold and green
Red gold and green
Didn't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love
was an addiction
When we cling
our love is strong
When you go
you're gone forever
You string along
You string along
Every day is like a survival
You're my lover not my rival
Every day is like a survival
You're my lover not my rival
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go


This is surprisingly an easy song to sing because you don't need to fluctuate your voice very much...perfect for me.
