My favorite sing-a-longs

Let me start this by saying that I can't sing. I am well aware of my vocal shortcomings. The only times I ever sing are in church, in the car alone, and occasionally at a tailgate. I know I'm not the only one who likes to sing in the car. Here are some of my favorites to sing along to.
  1. Hurricane, by Bob Dylan. I think maybe it's because Bob Dylan isn't the best singer that I feel like I can pull this one off. Best part: At one time he could'a been, the Champion of the world. You can listen and watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei0yDMFVaRs
  2. Tennessee Whiskey, You never called me by my name, Long-Haired Redneck, all by David Allan Coe. I saw DAC live once at the Georgia Theatre. He was drunk, sang some weird songs, and sang everything too fast, but it was awesome. Anybody who puts braids in their beard and wears cornrows at 65+ has got it going on.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOP8j8vJAkE
  3. Uneasy Rider, Charlie Daniels Band. Now I know as well as you that he really doesn't sing, but again, I can't carry a tune in a bucket. Best Part: But before he could move I grabbed me a chair and said watch him folks, cause he's a thoroughly dangerous man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMN7fGZW_BY
  4. Bust a Move, Young MC. Still stands the test of time. Classic. Best Part: all of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy4FXhkm6Nw
  5. Let her Cry, Hootie and the Blowfish. The beginning is unreal. I will repeat the beginning verse a couple of times when my ipod shuffles to this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIvt74urcus Couldn't find a good version on youtube sorry.
  6. Poncho and Lefty, Willie Nelson. I nailed this song on Sing Star. It was so improbable, I was accused of cheating on a video game, even though everyone heard me sing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxzJAF1BxP4

These are just some of my favorites. Too bad you won't ever hear me sing one, unless you sneak in my car, or come tailgate with us in Athens. What are your favorites to sing by yourself?
