Topic: Do You Hum The Key Your Song's In First?

And how are you able to keep from singing flat or sharp when you come to a chord change? Do you stop and hum again?

Years ago I put a song on a service whose name I can't recall now. It was a Harry Nilsson tune called "Lime In The Coconut" . Do y'all remember when I did that?

Well, I found out since then that the song isn't played in any normal key or chord. It's just sung.

I don't know how accurate that is, but maybe one or two of you could look it up and let me know?

I forgot the rules about posting/not posting songs here, sorry, folks.

Thank You

Bill
