Your favorite Tico vocal?
 

I don't want to leave Tico out, so what is your favorite song that Tico has sung: Waltzing Mathilda, Crazy, or What a Wonderful World?

I love them all! His voice is perfect for What a Wonderful World and his versions of Crazy and Waltzing Mathilda are terrific too. But I'll say my favorite of the three is Waltzing Mathilda.

I love crazy.

I vote for Crazy, too!!

Waltzing Matilda :D !

I absolultely love his great deep voice. I would go for Waltzing Mathilda. I don't know the lyrics at the moment but there's one part with "Whisky" and it is so funny how he sings this part (a little like he was drunk).

i'm also for waltzing matilda...

Crazy, but his backing on Love For Sale is really cool

Tico
 

LOL Noone else has picked this one but "What a Wonderful World". I guess its just a song I like alot because it reminds me back at my old school where the pre-schoolers always did sign-language to this song while singing it, and its just so cute to hear Tico do it too. :)

Craaazy in that deep ol' voice of his is my favourite 8)

Since it's a Tom Waits song I'll go with Waltz.... ehm.... Tom Trauberts Blues.
Does anyone know why they called it Waltzing Matilda?

Why is it called Waltzing Mathilda? I always wondered if it was based on the old standard also called Waltzing Mathilda. I know the one Tom Waits wrote is different, but I haven't heard the standard in many years.

The Tom Waits songs is no different to the Tico song. Same Lyrics, same harmonies they just gave it a different name. Maybe they thought we are not smart enough to remember the title when no one actually sings "Tom Trauberts Blues nanana shalala yeah heyhey". I don't know.

I know the Tom Waits song is the same as the Tico song. What I was saying is that the Tom Waits song is different from the old standard called Waltzing Mathilda. :wink: I always wondered if that song inspired Tom Waits' version, but I haven't heard it in so long that I don't remember what it was about.

Becky

I'm sorry. Now that I've read your post again, it's actually clear what you meant... I never heard the standard. Someone from Australia could maybe sing it to us.

8) Ok guys I'm in idiot mode today today. I'm am Aussie and I will now sing you the Aussie version of Waltzing Matilda Aussies out there feel free to join in at anytime - please do no be shy *clearing my voice*

Once a jolly swagman camped by billabong(a billabong not a bong!!!!,lol) under the shade of a koolabah tree and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled you'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me(I"m starting to get shy now) Waltzing Matlida, Waltzing Matilda you'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

8) 8) Oh please, your applauding is overwhelming and appreciated :lol: :lol: :lol:

8) 8) 'Thank you very much. JO has left the building :lol:

I go for Crazy

I didn't read all the post but I know that Waltzing Matilda is a kind of a legend in Austria. It had something to do with a cowboy if I remember correctly. Is there not an Aussie who can tell the storie??

If I had to pick something it would be wonderfull world, but I love to hear Tico sing a blues or something

:wink:

Crazy is fun to listen to with all of the deep voice, it is achange from Richie and Jon

Yes Crazy is something different! :D

I've only heard Tico singing "Crazy" and i love it very much, with his clear, deep voice.... :lol:

The only song I've heard him sing is Crazy, and that was pretty good.

Hey good job for "stealing the show" Tico, just like you do every year. :D

I gotta admit, i havnt heard that song for ages, i havnt sung it since i was in primary school. but the words are almost burnt into my head. its a shame what happened to the swagman though.

the story was based on an actual event for those who don't know!

I like the backing of Love for sale,
I personally hate the song Waltzing Matilda as I had to sing it in the school choir, many years ago!

I absolutely LOVE What a wonderful World. I really like Tico´s deep voice and it fits the song perfectly :D

Waltzing Matilda..

D'ya reckon he'll sing this year? :wink:

I hope so. I'm taking my friend to the next tour, (he's never seen BJ before) he's a fan of Bon Jovi, a great drummer and he is one of Tico's biggest fans. I'm sure he'd be trilled to hear him sing!

Waltzing Mathilda 8)

At an acoustic show here in CT in October, Tico sang part of "Woke Up This Morning" (the Sopranos theme song). Actually, Jon started it but then they all decided Tico's voice would be better. He only sang a verse or so but it was really cool.
