Title
How To Sing
Lil Wayne's new album The Carter IV contains lots of profanity-laden, mumbled rap songs over annoying beats and, inexplicably, one pseudo R and B tune where he attempts to sing. The album has been a huge success and that song, How To Love, is a big hit.
It occurred to me when I heard that song for the first time that nobody ever taught him how to sing. And thus a parody was born.

OK ... I just listened to the original song on Spotify. Then I listened to this parody again and I laughed even more ... GREAT PARODY!!!

I really liked this Devo, but I think you dropped the ball. I could actually understand what you were...singing. I got curious and wanted to hear the original, but I could't even get through the 90sec iTunes preview. At least you can say that you sing better than Lil Wayne. That's a plus, right?

Must not safeword while listening.... Wow, that singing was painful, but so is the original song. So well done!

I enjoyed this at Con on the Cob. It's a very clever satire of Lil Wayne.

Wow dude, that was pretty painful... but so freaking funny.

I hadn't heard of the song either, until I followed the link. I can't believe somebody allowed that past QA! On the other hand, we wouldn't have this awesome Devo Spice track to wash away all memory of the original. Good job! :) Like Insane Ian said; I've heard worse singing. Like from my next-door neighbours!

Loved this at CotC, love the studio version even more. Some really great lines here...and a surprising lack of autotune!
Also....I've heard worse singing. :-)

Ingenious Song...great job.....and yes like Lil Wayne...you can't sing either, but like him you can rap.

Zahooee... if it was sung on-tune, the joke would be lost.

Being on-the-verge-of-being-an-old-geezer, I don't even know the song that you parodied. But this cracked me up!!! Great job!!!
