I used to like the singing part - but the words and music really are very banal. Remember the fake Hawaiian one? It was the only part of the meeting that wasn't completely mind-numbingly boring. There was one that sounded like a Christmas song, too, can't remember which one, but I would find myself singing the wrong words sometimes.

Invariably the "molested bees" will get mentioned on a thread like this. I don't have a song book handy right now so I can't tell you the Song #. Anyway, that song talks about the Debil's minions coming after the JWs "like bees that were molested".
Now, even among the dubs, that line always brings smiles and snickers. (At least at our K Hall.)
That happened all the time in my congo as well. There were even some that broke where so obvious when they laughed and would laugh out loud, thus leading to me trying to hold back a snicker or two.
There was even one sister that asked me...."how in the world can bees be molested?!" I guess they just think about sexual molestation.

*Pulls out the old dusty song book*
Do you all remember No 59 "Appreciating God's Reminders", the part where the notes get very high and then it starts to sound terrible when everyone can't reach the notes?
How about No. 100 "Laud Jehovah Our God!". In my hall in about the middle part, everyone seemed to always get behind until the final "Laud our God!" part. It never failed. So funny.

I hate they always use either song 4 or 15 for funerals. It is more depressing when they do that then if they dont have a song at the end.
Personally, I would prefer AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" to be at my funeral. Pretty well describes my life.
Living easy, living free Season ticket on a one-way ride Asking nothing, leave me be Taking everything in my stride Don't need reason, don't need rhyme Ain't nothing I would rather do Going down, party time My friends are gonna be there too I'm on the highway to hell No stop signs, speed limit Nobody's gonna slow me down Like a wheel, gonna spin it Nobody's gonna mess me round Hey Satan, payed my dues Playing in a rocking band Hey Momma, look at me I'm on my way to the promised land I'm on the highway to hell (Don't stop me) And I'm going down, all the way down I'm on the highway to hell -

Ack..the songs are in my head now!
I too have been in one too many KH's where they did that stupid men sing one part and women sing the other. Although at the time it was one of the most interesting things to happen all year!
Guessing at the title..."Keep Your Eyes On The Prize"...every single time we had to sing that one my mom and dad would reminisce about all the funerals it was sung at and how they couldn't sing it without choking up. Very depressing.

i cant remember the name of the song but it reminded me of the muppet movie ---- i usually didnt sing any of the songs but in that one there was a place where the words "and kermit the frog" fit right in --- so i always sang those words --- people would look at me with raised eyebrows and i would just grin at them

I would have liked to see them singing song #35 where the whole group sings:
"God's A Jerk
And Therefore He Forbids Us
From Ever Having Any Fun"and then have a riot break out with rotten tomatoes and eggs thrown at the speaker. From there, no one would be able to hear the "music" (as if this sxxx would qualify as "music") after. They would have to call the police to quell the riot, only to have the police find evidence of pedophiles being protected and the victims silenced right in that congregation.

The one that sounds like "On top of spaghetti, all covered with blood..."
"this is the way, of truth and right, the way of holiness so bright..." -
Witness 007
"Sing to Jehovah, for he has become highly exalted, the horse and his rider he has pitched into the sea...my strenght and my might is jaaah."
This one gave me goose bumps....now I use whiskey!
