Dads


We have all heard or seen Dad Dancing, but how many have experienced Dad Singing?


Dad Singing is characterised by a complete, or at least incomplete knowledge of the words to a song, but to make up for this lack, the words are sung a fraction of a second after they've been heard on the original recording. 

Given many of the lyrics of some modern songs are unintelligible, especially those of the rap genre, the imitation by a Dad Singer is merely the mouthing of sounds, a fraction of a second after they have been made by the artist. Ask a Dad Singer what he said when singing, and he won't have a clue.
