Need a song that mentions singing...

Yes, it's a strange request. I'm using a dare in my script where a character has to burst into song - and sing a song that is somehow relevant to the plot.

The scene I've chosen for this, the one that first the best is one where the character is about to go undercover. The lead in is, "So, can you sing?" or words to that effect.

The character is going to sing the reply, but I need an appropriate song.

Thank you!

The only song I can think of is Sing by the Dresden Dolls, though I'm afraid that may not quite be what you're looking for.

Whoops, that would be it. Sorry. Doesn't help the brain when you are listening to another song that says 'can' every other word xD

"Sing" by Travis

"How can I keep from Singing" by Enya (I know, probably doesn't suit your story in any way, but just in case)

RE: Need a song that mentions singing...

I ended up using the first verse of "How Can I Keep from Singing" by Chris Tomlin.

Thanks for all your help, everybody!
