Amusing myself by singing I Drove All Night in various creepy voices to see how bad I can make it sound.
Turns out I can do a not-bad Hugh Grant.
Peter Lorre, Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Papa Lazarou, Yogi Bear, Foghorn Leghorn…
@Nickiquote have you sung it in the Vic Reeves pub style yet?
@selzero With appropriate thigh-rubbing.
Audio, please.
@EricMartin Listen it’s good enough for inside my head, but not public consumption.
@Nickiquote do Kermit the frog
@Nickiquote Do Jeremy Clarkson.
@theplaguedoc It just feels like he’s singing to the car.
@Nickiquote "I drove..... all night."
@Nickiquote Marilyn Manson should cover this.
@Nickiquote I can make anything sound bad just by "singing" in my normal voice...
@Nickiquote pretty much any song is sinister if you whisper it
@Nickiquote find Roy Orbison’s cover and have a listen. It’s legit creepier than anything you could manage
@WiteWulf @Nickiquote I was reading up on it today and it seems to have been written for Roy, but the recording was shelved for a while when he died.
@theplaguedoc @Nickiquote ah, that I didn’t know!
@WiteWulf @theplaguedoc Roy was where I started from, I didn’t even know other people had done it until yesterday when I learned about the Cyndi Lauder and Celine Dion versions.
