Comment:

I wanted to make an album that, as the title states, I could sing every word to. And when I say "sing" I don't mean that I could mutter the words under the music, miss half the cues, or come in singing the wrong verse. I mean car-karaoke, fake-mic-in-hand, belting the words at the top of my lungs with the windows down so the people two lanes over can hear me, songs I know better than I know any others. As you may or may not have noticed, the trick was to find songs like these that could fit on an album... Which means that every track is in the same track position it was in on its original release album. That was the difficult part. "Light My Fire" is a ringer... even though I know and can sing every word, the solo in the middle is way too long, and once you've stopped singing it's hard to come back with the same force as you started with. So, if anybody knows a good #6, let me know.

**Aesop Rock is a bonus; you don't sing to it, but I put it on anyway because I'm kind of proud of being able to rap every word.
