Distinctive Singers, FTW

You know how there are just some songs that no matter how hard you try, you have to imitate the artist when you sing the song? I have noticed this alot recently. Seems like every song I listen to have a distinctive voice that I'm impersonating when I sing along. Examples:

TRACY CHAPMAN "Fast Car"
Its my fraternity anthem (I know, gay, right? Fuck you.) so I love the song, but its impossible to sing along without doing Chapman's voice. Its so distinctive that it just doesn't sound right if you don't do it like her.


KATE NASH "Foundation"
Its a newer song, but catchy as hell. Plus, Nash's British accent comes through in the music (not terribly common, if you ask me) so you can't help but sing the song cockney. From what I've heard about British accents, hers is the lower-class strong accent, which I suppose would equate to the Southern accents found on people in the mountains of West Virginia. Speaking of, don't they vote today? Looks like "Jesus" as a write-in might win a state.


Gnarls Barkley "Crazy"
The song is good (you know you loved it when it came out) but overplayed, admittedly, but I always catch myself singing with the falsetto of an overweight black man whenever it comes on the radio.


So there's the beginning of my list. Put your contributions in the comments and I'll edit the post with a youtube video for all to see.
