Well, not exactly.
My musical repetoire is fairly limited, and I don't think I'd be able to learn a song well enough to sing it within a reasonable time. Not to mention that doing so would entail listening to the song over and over and over again, which is not something I really want to do if someone picks a song I hate.
Which does kind of put a damper on the whole thing. Not really playing fair, is it?
To make up for it, I'm broadening the field.
Here's the deal. I'm bored. I've got time, a headset, some basic sound recording software, and a yousendit account.
Name something that I can do with that. Pick a song. Pick something for me to read. Or say. Or try to do. Preferably something that won't be loud enough to disturb anyone sleeping on the far side of the wall behind me.
I reserve the right to say "I don't know how to do that," but otherwise, it's pretty much open season.
Songs, scripts, stories, routines, books, answering machine messages, personal messages... You name it, I'll try it. (Within reason. Such as it is. I'm not exactly known for sanity...)
No backing out because I'm too embarassed to try. No backing out because, even if I know how to do it, I don't know how to do it well.
I can sing in a reasonable (if rusty and untrained) tenor. I can't do falsetto, and I start going painfully off-key if the pitch gets too high. (Sometimes, to spare us all, I'll do a key shift into my range.)
I can do (or try to do) some basic voices and accents, though I'm pretty rusty at those, too.
Some sound effects, maybe. Though perhaps not as fun when they're planned. (Life needs spontaneous sound effects...)
I can probably do some other stuff, too, but it's not coming to mind at the moment.
Use your imagination.
The request line is open.
Post whatever you want. (Even if it seems boring or stupid or whatever.)
Just remember... you'll have to live with the consequences. ;)

And... accents? Uhm, I dunno. I had a real knack for them when I was a kid, but you lose your language skills as you grow up. I probably shouldn't have said anything, really. I'd only end up offending someone or something. But if you can think of one... I can give it a shot.

I will e-mail the challenge, actually. You'll see why. :) Will do so sometime this weekend, 'k?

Marvin? Turns out I'm kind of rusty on that. Wasn't quite sure what to say with him, either, but...
Enjoy!

Oh, and while I was uploading files, I decided to add in Marvin, too. That's now available here.

(I have no idea what that actually means.)
Glad you enjoyed, though. :)
And thanks for giving me something to play around with. *g*
