If you are going to sing out loud, might as well sing about singing! What? Here’s a collection of tunes all about singing!

Sing – Blur

Minimalistic masterpiece was both on Blur’s 1991 album, Leisure as well as on the soundtrack for the 1996 movie Trainspotting. Blur is currently giving away the new track, Fool’s Day, which the band recorded for Record Store Day, April 17th. Pick up a copy at Blur’s site.

Sing – Travis

I don’t know what to say about this tune… it is a modern classic that always gets me singing along about singing when it comes on. From Travis’ 2001 album Invisible Band.

Sing Sing Sing – Benny Goodman

Classic big band tune, originally written in 1936 by, Louis Prima, redone by many, and instantly recognizable by swing kids of all generations.

Soul Singing – The Black Crows

Despite the fact that Soul Singing is from the Black Crows 2001 album, Lions, which earned less love than the band’s earlier offerings, the tune still gets be singing out about singing from my soul every time it comes on.

Singing In The Rain Remix – Mint Royale

I couldn’t skip this masterful ditty. Leave it to Mint Royale to bring the mix-mastering to a classic show tune! Released on their 2005 album See You in the Morning.

Boys & Girls – Blur

ParkLife (1994)

NME has reported that the quintessential Euro-boy, Damon Albarn, recently announced that Blur will in fact be reuniting in the studio next year. The news brings much excitement, as I have long been a fan of Blur’s fun style. I’ve included the first Blur track that got my attention above. Boys & Girls is a ridiculously catchy track, that I’m sure stirs many memories in other 30-somethings like me. With lyrics as deep and complex as:

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they’re girls
Who do girls like they’re boys
Always should be someone you really love

You really can’t go wrong :p In all honesty though, the song does have a very nice message, on top of how fun it is to dance to at summer pool parties!

Perfect thinks that the following song should be the next theme song for the Canucks, because of “that whole WHOO thing”. Here is the best 2 minute song of the 1990’s:

Song 2 – Blur from Blur’s 1997 self titled album.
