My dirty secret for today is that I have a big soft spot for songs with falsetto. This explains my love of Muse and their gossamer wailing over rumbling bass, and my passion with The Rubettes' "Sugar Baby Love," which slaps you in the face with a full-on falsetto after a mere 15 seconds' diatonic warm-up. And now my obsession has turned to Mika and his "Relax, Take It Easy."
The problem is that, though I love this song and hear it in my head on repeat during most waking hours, it is not possible - in the name of human decency - to sing it aloud. I sound like a trampled cat. And if I sing it in the shower, I sound like a wet trampled cat. And if I sing it in the privacy of my car, zooming through the traffic of SZ Road, I sound like a gay ambulance siren.
And so I am sad. This is my tragedy -- to love a song, and yet to be unable to sing it...
