If I've got a talent, it's for picking the right song at the right time for the right audience. And I can always seem to get people to sing with me.

What I fear most is that you will know where the laughs are going to come, or that you will know a character so well that you know when they're going to sing a song. In some shows, you just know that the audience is sitting there going "Oh no, she's going to sing."
Tracey Ullman
Who knows who wrote that song of summer,
That blackbirds sing at dusk,
This is a song of colour,
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust,
Then climb into bed and turn to dust.Kate Bush
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight.
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright.Billy Joel
I shall not sing a May song.
A May song should be gay.
I'll wait until November
And sing a song of gray.Gwendolyn Brooks
People have kept on asking me: did he sing well? I reply, the world is a song, but we do not know whether it is a good song because we have nothing to compare it with.
