perfect punishment for killing me since I don't actually know any Michael Bolton tunes.

or The Wheels On The Bus or the theme from Thomas the Tank Engine.

All of them burned into my memory. A takeaway from having 3 kids.

Maybe cheating a bit, but after playing and singing in bands for more than 30 years there are a few popular covers i could do while sleeping.

Those i would jump to in a hot second:
Burning Down The House
Brown Eyed Girl
Superstition
My Best Friend's Girl

There's many more, but i stopped at 4.

(Note: I could do the songs i wrote since i'm probably the only one who knows the words by memory, but i doubt the karaoke DJ would have those on the system! LOL!)

I'm not even a big Sublime fan, don't own any Sublime albums, and yet whenever that song comes on the radio, I know the lyrics down pat and by heart.

I had to memorize it for a school talent show and have never forgotten it. It may be the ONLY song that I know all the lyrics by heart.
