To quote Neil, as he's the inspiration for this thread:

:twisted: I've gone with Dead Ringer as i've always found the songs from that album the most difficult to sing :shrug:

Singing IGLHFBOU is like pulling teeth :bleh:

In my humble opinion, hes right. IGLHFBOU is extremely tuff.

All are hard to sing, but what are the hardest?

besides IGLHFBOU, here are my some of the hardest to sing:

Everything Louder
Running for the Red Light
Break It (surprisingly very difficult to sing)
Like A Rose
Testiy
and Objects

Hands down, in my opinion, the easiest song and best song for anyone to sing is took the words, as it gets a crowd going and you can get some easy audience participation depending on the crowd.

Frying Pan maybe. I know those notes in the chorus Kill me.

IGLHFBOU is very tough indeed, but phenomenal if you pull it off :)

Bat of course, due to the high Cs at the end, FCOL I think because the acting must match the singing.

To be fair, I think that Meat has some of the toughest songs to sing, full stop. Especially the Steinman ones, but also some from WTTN (eg ILYATTT, NADEITH) and HCTB (eg IIR, IICHY, EIV).

Left in the Dark is a pain in the ass to pull off flawlessly.

I'm physically unable to sing Surf's Up properly without cheating (singing parts of it down the octave) >.>

:twisted: Agreed with these three.

There are parts of that song where "pulling it off" is the only way you can hit the notes :yikes:

I find Bat to be the easiest song to be honest.
Probably because the adrenaline pumping doing it to a live audience.

FCOL is a little trickier, but it feels great when you nail it dead bang 8)

Dry Eye and Lie For You have their moments, but again, it just makes you feel even better for hitting the notes.
HCTB I wouldn't know.I haven't sang anything from that album, and I think the only song i'm eager to try is Song Of Madness.



As Wario quotes me as saying, on the whole, I find anything off the Dead Ringer album harder to sing than most of Meat's songs.
Read Em & Weep, Love Her For Both Of Us, I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back, Dead Ringer, good songs, buff tough to sing.




Back Into Hell


I always forget the words :facepalm:

Has to be Masculine. It has been avoided at all cost since the early 90s.

That'll be the bang that gets the Karaoke machine working properly again half way through will it? :p

:yikes: indeed!


Read Em & Weep

I forgot about that one - it always is surprisingly difficult to sing I find. That ending!

Oh yes it is. But the ending is pretty easy with "Tire Tracks and Broken Hearts".

Ive been going through my backing tracks, and surprisingly, Im finding Life is a Lemon hard. "Shove it up your ass" needs to be nailed for it to have a comedic and sarcastic flavor. If you cant hit that, the line seems pointless and pathetic and the performance as a whole suffers.

So when are we going to see your pointless and pathetic version up on YouTube then? :lol:

Agreed with these except Dead Ringer. :O

Any song for me! I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. But forgive me I am not very patient today and can't be bothered figuring this out myself, what song does IGLHFBOU stand for? I know I will kick myself when I find out.

I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us. I always have trouble figure out what song it is via the initials - unless of of course it is BOOH!

Yes I hate the "Gonna love her" acronym and the one for "A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste", AKIATTTW too. Who the ~~~~ started to shorten that?! :wtf:

Strangly enough I've never seen an Objects one? OITRVMMACTTA :nuts:

I think anything with more than 4 letters becomes difficult to decipher.

Good thread guys, I think Living on the outside is actually a hard song to sing because it's so fast, also frying pan is a hard one, nowhere faster and everything louder are tough ones too. The fast songs seem to be the hardest for me.

I just added IICHY to my talent show act and let me tell you all...those high notes are HARD to hit.

Bad for good is a hard song to sing in my opinion, very fast with lots of switching between low and high notes.
