I kept trying to move away from him. He's the local drunk lol. That bar is literally right up the road from my house.

Chimp3's Golden Rule of Karaoke:

"I don't do that to you, don't do that to me!"

I do sing along with a good tune on the radio if I am alone.

I frighten my neighbours occasionally when I'm doing housework, or just in a really good mood on the weekend.

I'll crank up Billy Joel and sing along to it, badly, at the top of my lungs.

The cats, however, don't get traumatised at all.

I like Interpol. I'll sing their stuff in the shower.


Oh.

It's fairly decent. I have been known to do concerts, accompanying myself on the guitar I've posted pictures of in other threads. It may not be great, and it's certainly not common to see young singers with bass-baritone ranges (and odds are, I wind up channeling most of the deep-voiced popular singers Ian Curtis, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Muddy Waters, and even some of the deeper-voiced soul singers), but I do it fairly well, although the last time I did a concert, I ended up hoarse after about 45 minutes. Maybe someday, I'll actually be able to last about as long as a decent-length concert.

I've got a decent voice, but can't project for shit.

I'm going to set this as my new alarm ringtone. 

As far as singing goes, I'm fine at holding a tune as long as it's not too high pitched. That's when things get rather, er, interesting. And by interesting I mean everyone except my dog suddenly remembers some work that they had to do all the way on the other side of the house. And my dog just cocks his head at me and farts. Fun.

I'll admit that I've sung folk songs and country/western songs in private; however, I would never dare inflict my singing on anyone, as it is quite horrendous.

I know what you mean. At my last job, we had a gal who wanted to have a cake and a sing-a-long for birthday people in our department. I "sang" sotto-voce to avoid shattering eardrums and teeth.

As can't I. I suspect that trying to compensate for a lack of a PA at that last concert may be what caused me to go hoarse at the end of the night. Well, I suppose my attempts at replicating the dynamics of the last verse of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." And as for actual screaming, for-fucking-get it!
