      He once said in an interview (because his daughter went on American Idol) that he could "carry a tune, but I don't have a voice people want to hear". It struck a chord with me then because I can absolutely carry a tune, not tone deaf, have rhythm, but my voice is not a good singing voice. I'd be a great backup singer lmao

Better yet, keep it to your bathroom (we don't wanna see u singing in your car, too, and, we are exceedinly-grateful you would NEVER sing with the windows open, MyChild).

    I'm surprised he's never done a musical comedy, or if he has, I'm not aware of it. His voice was a little strained on the lowest and highest notes, but in a recording studio with multiple takes, I think he could nail it.
