So I'll begin with a song by a wonderful writer named Jack
Haynes, called The Singing Man.
And like I said, all these are written
by non-speaking autistic lyricists,
and they're all so good, in my humble opinion.
[JACK HAYNES, THE SINGING MAN]
(SINGING) I can't stop it, I'm the singing man.
I always sing whenever I can.
I can't stop it, I'm the singing man.
I might just call myself a one man band.
I think about music every moment.
I can't stop if I try.
I think about music every moment.
I might sing till I die.
And I can't stop it, I'm the singing man.
I make music all of the time.
I can't stop it, I'm the singing man, I really make it rhyme.
I think about music every moment.
I can't stop if I try.
I think about music every moment.
I might sing till I die.
[MELLOW MUSIC]
(SINGING) I can't stop it, I'm the singing man.
It flows from my soul.
I can't stop it, I'm the singing man.
It makes me feel whole.
I think about music every moment.
I can't stop if I try.
I think about music every morning.
I might just sing till I die.
Yeah, I might sing till I die.
[CLAPPING]
Yeah.
[CHEERING]
So fun.
That one, as I recall, I was supposed
to try to make it sound like Elton John.
Which is hard without a piano, I know,
and without such an amazing sense of style.
