Sometimes Rick Wakeman's Merlin the Magician works for me,
especially when followed by Holst's: Uranus. Then there's
ELP's Abaddon's Bolero. And Softer Ride, off Status Quo's
"Hello" album. Tunes with syncopation just screw up my
cadence. One needs a Biopace rig for syncopation.
I mostly favour tunes of which I know the lyrics, so I
can sing along. That rules out a lot of opera (or as
a friend of mine refers to arias: girdle-poppers.)
I'm told I can "do" Alice Cooper's Under My Wheels quite
convincingly, but that, like Tarzan-yodeling, requires a
li'l inspiration. I can also sometimes "do" David Bromberg
if I stick a clothespin on my nose and do the quivery voice
thing. If it doesn't come out right, I can always switch to
doing Neil Young or Corky Siegal. Chuck Berry is impossible
to imitate well. So are Van Morrison and Steve Winwood.
cheers,
Tom
