I would just sing the damn songs anyway I like including improvised lyrics, but do it with heartfelt spirit. I'm suprised they haven't created choirs yet... Probably not enough local talent to make it possible though.

Stuck, You beat me to it.
Tiki, Bad as it sounds, as a kid I would rather have sung Kingdumb songs instead of the impossibly horrible "Let God Be True" forced on me.
Blondie, Wow, those are "golden oldies" I remember well!

These stupid Print-in-your-house sings are getting ridiculous. Why don't they get rid of the song book and tell everybody to print the songs at heir house one and for all??? -

I was getting ready to call 'BS' on this until I saw the PDFs uploaded from a second source.
I mean, seriously... who needs a paragraph of instructions, with bullet points, on how to study up on a new church hymn?
How can we individually learn the new songs? When the music, lyrics, and choral arrangements
become available in your language on jw.org or JW Broadcasting, follow these four
steps: (1) Listen repeatedly to the music or choral renditions of the songs until you know them
well. (2) Analyze the lyrics, and try to memorize them. (3) Sing the melody together with the lyrics
until you have mastered each song. (4) Rehearse the new songs a few times during your Family
Worship session until your family is comfortable with them."Listen repeatedly..." Is there subliminal message when sung out loud? Did the WTS learn something from Led Zeppelin, KISS, Queen, and the Beatles? Will dubs start listening to their Kingdom Melodies backwards, looking for hidden messages?
"...memorize..." Why? The words are written down, just read em. Unless, of course, there's some kind of indoctrination going on with repeating the same words over and over by memory. Naahhh... the WTS would never do that {insert roll eyes thingy here}
"Rehearse during Family Worship..." Like dubs don't have enough problems keeping young ones in 'the truth'. This is sure to cure that ailment. Just sit around and sing Kingdom Melodies as a family. The little kiddies will just be so encouraged to stay in Jah's service. {insert heavy sarcasm here}

Why don't they just scrap the current song book and almalgamate these new songs? Almalgamate these new songs into the already terrible current songs into a whole new book. -

Why won't they just start having church choirs?!
My ears bleed because the "friends" cannot sing well.

You have the Memorial, which is supposed to be this uber important dignified occasion, and you release new songs at the last minute to be sung by ordinary singers? Seems very opposed to the importance they place on the occasion.
