What songs do you sing?

One good thing about living alone is that I feel uninhibited enough to sing out loud even though I can't hit a note or carry a tune.

But, there are only a couple songs that I know a few lyrics from and I would like to increase my repertoire. At breakfast I tend to sing the one stanza I know from 'Morning has Broken', and if things go wrong in life I break out the "Yesterday, all my Troubles Seemed So Far Away".

What do you sing? What songs do you know that have easy-to-remember lyrics/tunes that maybe I could try singing?
 

I remember mostly all the lyrics of any song I've ever liked from childhood till now. I sing what comes to mind. I have a huge repertoire. Used to make a lot of trips by car and would sing the entire score from some Broadway hit. JCSuperstar and West Side Story among my favorites. I do the girl groups, Ronettes, Shirelles, Crystals, you name it. Any and all Beatles.
 
I live in a duplex so I have to wait until my neighbor goes on vacation to get the privacy to sing my heart out. She hasn't been going anywhere so I'm just stuck sitting here unable to enjoy it.
 

I sing to my parakeet--I made up a song called "Pretty Jasmine" and also the "Good Morning Jasmine" song and the "Good Night Jasmine" song. Let's not forget, too, "You are My Sunshine" song for Jasmine, too.

I used to sing to U2 on my stereo but haven't played that recently. Sometimes I will break out singing when something I'm playing sounds real good to me.

I have an Evanescence CD I sing along with mostly.
 
I play my rock and roll all the time and sing along with Roy Orbison and Gene Pitney, Johnny Rivers and the Platters, the Fleetwoods, the Rightous Bros., Nancy Wilson, Johhny Burnett, Sarah Vaughn, the Lettermen, Peter, Paul and Mary, Elvis. Johnny Horton, etc.
Music keeps me ina happy mood. I dance around and sing with no one around anywhere

I can't sing worth a hoot, but I sing to my dog and she doesn't mind at all. Since I am a true oldster and we always had music in our house, I can remember the lyrics to songs from the 40s and 50s with no trouble at all. But one oldie has been stuck in my craw for the past couple of days; If I Had My Life To Live Over. I guess it's due to my now facing lung cancer. Somehow it saddens me to sing this, but it won't quit.

I’m with you on music choices that I sing along to and dancing around! Keeps me happy too! Not so sure about my husband but he’s gone a lot so I do it then🥰
