I might be a deaf/hard of hearing guy but I still appreciate nice sounding tunes and nicely placed words.

The question is:
Do you guys know of any tunes/words that are softly hummed, sort of folksy/blues of the like of

"I'll seeing you"

"Down in the valley"

Frank Sinatra - "Fly Me to the Moon"

The Beatles - "The Long and Winding Road"

I'm hoping some of you guys can give some suggestions for singers/songs with easy sounding voices that I can pick up and understand the words as I follow them with the lyrics.

I have wide ranges of musical taste from Country to bluesy to folks traditional musics to classical to alternative to rock, etc just so long as the music doesn't overwhelm the voice (heavy metal is excluded because it is to my ears a bunch of scratching pounding music with screaming words).

Lets see what you guys can throw out there. I will also be more than happy to hear your repetitive tunes/words that keeps cycling inside your head. :D

Check out Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller. I love the sound of it. In high school we had a saxophone quartet that I played in. Since then ( over 6 years), I always seem to start humming the tune when I am working on something.

Should be...can't see youtube here, but the title is right. I will check it at home when I can.

I can't FIND IT! Fred Astaire singing "The Way You Look Tonight" has been stuck in my head on and off for months now. There's versions by Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Rod Stewart just for starters.

The Astaire is my favorite, but I'll let you pick whichever video is easiest for you to follow along with...Michael Buble sings behind this old microphone half the time like a jerk.

Funny. I'm not deaf and that's what heavy metal sounds like to me.

Yeah thats it. I wish I could find the saxophone quartet version. It is much better for humming.

What if I "hum" out of tune? :)
