How do you sing it?

What do you make up in place of Stevie's lyrics? What are your own ad-libs?
All of the Street Angel talk makes me think of "Kick It", and I always sing it "...kick...the wabbit..." envisioning Elmer Fudd...

I have many but I'll have to get back with 'em later...I'm swamped with work!

The main thing that I do is sing live versions even if I'm listening to the studio versions.

Like, the end of Rhiannon I always keep going after the studio "dreams unwind" part ends. And Edge - I always sing "no one really ever heard the phone at all but me!" Things like that.

My favorite one

end of Enchanted: "Whoa Whoa Whoa...I hope your naked"

I know I've posted this before but when I listen to the Fleetwood Mac Live version of Rhiannon I always sing a verse of Maker of Birds during the instrumental part. It fits really well, but you have to know where to start. Heh heh.

I don't necessarily have ad-libs I just have a ton of things that I THINK she is saying when she's actually saying something completely different. She's not the easiest person to understand when she's singing. Let's see I have so many...

-"she was just a witch" instead of "she was just a wish"

-"magic moment" instead of "ivory morning" (pretty much all of The Nightmare my lyrics are completely off)

-"pick up the pieces and grow old" instead of "pick up the pieces and go home"

-"she dances around on the boulevard" instead of "she dances around in a circle"

-"still I get this feeling" instead of "still I carry this feeling" (same with L&L, half the stuff I think she is saying makes no sense whatsoever).

-"I am my own mind" instead of "I have my own life"

-"My eye-make-up is dark and it's killing" instead of "My eye-make-up is dark and it's careless"

-"Take me like the wind chime" instead of "Take me like the wind, child"

-"Long clouds of white" instead of "long nets of white"

-"all the way that I do anytime" instead of "All the way down to Emmiline"

-"Your shinin' on an ocean crashing" instead of "Your shinin' autumn ocean crashing"

-"I would run" instead of "I would cry"

So many more I'll edit later.

Ad-lib:
"Who in the HELL do you think that you are foolin'?

I always do her litte rap every time I hear Edge:

"But the sea does not change, no it does not change, it does not change, it doesn't!" So cute when she does that!

Also "sings a song, sounds like she's singing it to you!"

i always sing the live version of "Stand Back", even if i'm listening to the studio version.. "so i walked on down the line away from you, well maybe my attention was more than i could do, well, one man, said he would not fa-all, well he asked me for too much.. he said TAKE MEE!"

I'm pretty much like you with all the wrong words. I usually make up better ones, though.

But not always. And when I can't begin to make something up, I don't even care. I just sing the sound, whatever it sounds like.
I sing those parts with Edge, too. I try not to, it irritates me, but I can't help it.

I also add lib a lot of live parts.
I like to sing instrument parts that go with a different part of the song, too, and put lyrics in the instrument parts. (for instance, when I'm listening to Talk to Me, during the sax solo, I always sing "wellIcanseethatexpressionwhenthephone rings! etc". It goes with.)

Oh I just realized I do this in Stand Back every time I hear it:

"It's alright, it's alright, IT'S NOT ALRIGHT!"

I think "pick up the pizzas and go home" will remain lodged in my brain forever.

I like to add a word for emphasis on some songs. Bitch is pretty handy. I always sing "You can consume all the beauty in the room, bitch, I know you can, I've seen you do it" and "If I'm wasting my mind bitch, make up your mind"

Bitch, it's the new "well".

And I also amend Bombay to Baby. Baby Sapphires. That always makes me laugh.
