I was just thinking the other day, and almost started a thread, about songs that British singers can sing, but American singers can't.

For example ... only a guy with a British accent could sing Martha My Dear by The Beatles. Think about it ...

I heard this Um-Air-I-Can sang this British sung TOON, might righteously*.












*It helped to have a Brit doing the backing vox and that it is actually an Um-Air-I-Can choon.
I heard that, it's mighty good. :)

Try listening to anything by the fabulous british singer Beverly Knight (one of the greatest soul singers of all time IMHO) and then listening to her in an interview.  It alters your perception.

Maybe Jon and Steve can chime in on this 

Steve and I don't actually sound human when we sing.
