The Tenor Hate Song (not really)
To be sung in the lowest range you can manage without actually trespassing onto the basses.
John Denver writes a song and he makes it pretty high,The correct title is, of course, Thank God I'm A Baritone. Most people have never heard the chorus because they're laughing too hard.
Lot 'o little notes rolling up to the sky.
I listen to him sing, and I think ``Is that a guy?''
Thank God I'm a baritone.Chorus
Well a baritones voice rolls up from his belly,
Across broad shoulders, it's full and swelling
While a tenors voice vibrates his brain into jelly.
Thank God I'm a baritone.
In the second line, the melody should descend.
No, John Denver did not write this song. John Martin Summers did.
And for the record, I don't hate tenors. I'd like to say there's nothing wrong with them that couldn't be fixed, but most of them have already been fixed.
