One of our neighbours has come up with a great idea... all of us singing something together after Clapping for Carers.

Hugely looking forward to it and love to know what you would most enjoy singing with your neighbours? Guessing something that is uplifting, appeals to all generations and where most people know most of the words....the Beatles keep springing to mind!

  1. Part 2, chapter 4.

"Under the window somebody was singing. Winston peeped out, secure in the protection of the muslin curtain. The June sun was still high in the sky, and in the sun-filled court below, a monstrous woman, solid as a Norman pillar, with brawny red forearms and a sacking apron strapped about her middle, was stumping to and fro between a washtub and a clothes line, pegging out a series of square white things which Winston recognized as babies' diapers. Whenever her mouth was not corked with clothes pegs she was singing in a powerful contralto: 

It was only an 'opeless fancy. 

It passed like an Ipril dye, 

But a look an' a word an' the dreams they stirred! 

They 'ave stolen my 'eart awye! 

The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department."

I second a nice bit of Rage Against the Machine, complete with air guitar.

Ritascornershop · 14/04/2020 18:01

😂 This very clearly demonstrates the “there are two kinds of people” idea. I’m grumpy enough about the nightly (yes, every bloody evening) clapping and pot-banging, without adding singing into the mix.

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen or Walking on Sunshine.

LonelyFromCorona · 14/04/2020 18:29

This idea is pure vom.
I feel ill! Hope it's not covid

PicsInRed · 14/04/2020 18:34

This is more painfully awkward than an episode of Curb Your Enthusiam.

Don't, I beg you for the Love of Christ. I'll melt.

MorganKitten · 14/04/2020 18:44

Near us they want to do Dont Stop Believin’

PicsInRed · 14/04/2020 18:45

Only if it's My Corona.
At least us negative bastards can be amused.

RoLaren · 14/04/2020 18:53

Auld Lang Syne, because that would mean 2020 is over. Thank Christ.

DysonFury · 14/04/2020 19:24

The Divinals (sp) I Touch Myself would work well.

andratuttobene · 14/04/2020 19:36

OP, you seem to have failed to notice that MN is basically a nature reserve for miserable bastards these days.

TheMotherofAllDilemmas · 14/04/2020 19:37

Another vote for John Cage’s 4’33

1066vegan · 14/04/2020 19:38

If I have to go out again when the lockdown is over, I'd quite like to go to a nature reserve for miserable bastards.

mrsbyers · 14/04/2020 19:41

Sounds like absolute hell to me , when is this shit going to end ?

If you do go ahead be sure to video it and share on various social media platforms won’t you

bobstersmum · 14/04/2020 19:47

I would cringe, but if I had to I'd pick The Greatest Show!

TSSDNCOP · 14/04/2020 20:17

@1066vegan I bet you have to fucking camp. Can you let me know the minute they put up a small boutique hotel?

flyingspaghettimonster · 14/04/2020 20:20

Depends which neighbours. Tge ones opposite who keep having motorbike gang parties? 'I Hope You Die' by Bloodhound gang

Thelnebriati · 14/04/2020 20:32

Something with actions, such Superman by Black Lace.

Please Release Me.

Pinkarsedfly · 14/04/2020 20:34

Is there a song called ‘Turn Your Fucking Music Down, Shut Your Dog Up and Tell Your Builders Not To Start Before Eight AM’?

If so, that.

Pinkarsedfly · 14/04/2020 20:35

Or ‘Touch Me I’m Sick’ by Mudhoney.

crankysaurus · 14/04/2020 20:40

If we have to camp at this nature reserve, can I have a camp fire to burn the odd guitar on?

Moonlite · 14/04/2020 20:40

Ice ice baby by vanilla ice

KayakingOnDown · 14/04/2020 20:46

Yellow submarine?

Imagine? (John Lennon)

All you need is love?

crankysaurus · 14/04/2020 20:48

Hotel California? Suitable for an unending lockdown?

1066vegan · 14/04/2020 20:52

@TSSDNCOP I'm happy to camp if the weather's warm. I'll reserve a room in the hotel for you if it appears.

@crankysaurus judging by some of the threads I've read, we might need to throw a few bagpipes on the bonfire too.
