Say It with a Song
A different way to grab your audience’s attention.
As Toastmasters, we a constantly on the lookout for new speech ideas. Songs can be an excellent source of material for speeches because of their storytelling nature, short duration and infectious melodies. Because of these properties, almost any song can be used to create or enhance a speech in interesting ways.
The short duration of a song cries out for a speech to convey the details of the song’s story. I once wrote a speech based on the song “Saint John” by Cold War Kids. The song tells the story of a man on death row hoping for a pardon from the governor. He ended up on death row after throwing a brick at a drunk college kid who was part of a group that was harassing his sister. The framework for a speech was already in place in the song.
The song has a tragic element to it, which is amplified by its mournful chorus. I only needed to add some additional details to the story to transform the song into a speech. I also took the opportunity to try and emulate the singer who sang with a drawl, which added to the entertainment value of the speech. But, perhaps the most powerful aspect of the speech was the chorus line I sang to my audience as a break between the different parts of the story.
A Chorus Line
Choruses are meant to be catchy, with interesting rhythms and melodies. In fact, when most people think of a song, it’s typically a chorus line that first comes to mind. For good or bad, depending on your taste and the length of time you are forced to listen to it, the chorus line may be the only part of the song you actually remember.
Try using a chorus line to your advantage by singing it as part of your speech. In addition to the rhythm and melody, just the fact that you’re singing it will grab your audience’s attention. By doing so, you will also inject into the speech whatever emotional tone or attitude the chorus projects. In my speech, a chorus line provided smooth transitions between each part of the story. Singing adds emotional impact in a way that simply telling a story cannot do.
Imagine a humorous speech in which the speaker describes a situation that made him want to appear to be cool, but things didn’t work out as intended. Now imagine the speaker singing a chorus line from the song “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers during certain parts of his or her speech. The singing catches the audience’s attention and also injects some humor into the speech.
Using Soundtracks
Soundtracks are another source for speech ideas. [A soundtrack can be recorded music synchronized to the images of a motion picture, book, television program or video game. Soundtracks are sometimes released commercially as soundtrack albums.] Soundtrack speeches use songs that remind the speaker of a specific time in his life. Typically these memories focus on childhood, a particular person or a romantic relationship. Soundtracks may be the most common types of songs that speakers incorporate into speeches.
If you have been a Toastmaster for a long time, you have probably heard someone give a soundtrack speech, or you may have given one yourself. This type of speech can work to your advantage because it will hold your audience’s attention. Additionally, hearing a song’s chorus may trigger feelings of nostalgia in audience members who recognize them.
Creative Use of Song Titles
Those looking for a challenge might consider a list of song titles by their favorite artist and write a speech that incorporates those titles directly into the speech narrative. In these cases the speaker doesn’t sing. The titles are simply used as phrases in the sentences of the speech. For example, a speech about an old car might incorporate titles of some Beatles songs:
My wife keeps threatening to have my ’67 Camaro towed out to the junkyard because she is tired of it taking up space in the garage. She affectionately refers to it as the “yellow submarine” because she feels in her words that “it should be rusting on the bottom of the ocean.” I told her I wasn’t getting rid of it because I know that “with a little help from my friends” I will get that car up and running as good as new.
Once the audience picks up on what the speaker is doing, they will appreciate the difficulty of the speaker’s challenge.
Tunes for Table Topics
Another use for a song is creating Table Topics questions. This is especially useful when you learn just before a meeting that the scheduled Table Topicsmaster can’t make the meeting and someone else needs to fill that role. People have songs they enjoy listening to, so it’s easy to recall a favorite. Try using it to craft part of a spur-of- the moment question. Here are some examples:
• Huey Lewis and the News sang about the heart of rock ‘n’ roll. What is the heart of rock ‘n’ roll, and is it still beating?
• Ozzy Osbourne went off the rails on a crazy train. When do you board your crazy train, and what makes it go off the rails?
• Steppen-wolf was born to be wild. What were you born to be?
These examples don’t require the responder to actually know the song, and you can use them to spur ideas for a vast amount of topics in a short time.
The next time you’re seeking inspiration for a speech topic, think about some of your favorite songs. It’s likely that you can transform one of them into an entertaining speech, or use a chorus to spice up a speech you’re working on.
The Song-Title Technique
To inject humor into a speech— especially one about a dry topic— I sometimes use a technique that involves grouping song titles into themes. It can work with any well-known musician or group that has recorded a large number of songs.
Let’s say you’re going to make a training presentation. You have to teach a group of people something really complicated—a computer program, details of complex new legislation, medical procedures, whatever. You might begin by saying:
It may sound strange, but I feel the Beatles are here with us today— because they recorded some songs on how you may feel about learning [the topic of your talk]. The top three titles are:
• "The Long And Winding Road"
• "It's All Too Much"
• "Help!
Fortunately, they also recorded some songs about how I feel. The top three are:
• "I Want To Hold Your Hand"
• "Ask Me Why"
• "We Can Work It Out"
This is a condensed version of Malcolm Kushner’s article “Want To Be Funny? You Can’t Go Wrong If You Name That Song,” which was published in the March 2007 Toastmaster magazine.

Do You Hear the People Sing
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your
chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Autumn Leaves (Learning by Singing)
Autumn Leaves is one of the most beautiful popular songs I’ve ever heard. Originally, it’s a 1945 French song titled "Les feuilles mortes (The Dead Leaves)".
The music was composed by Joseph Kosma, a Hungarian-French composer. The French lyrics was written by poet Jacques Prévert.
Let's listen to the French version sung by Juliette Gréco.
The following French-English hybrid version was sung by the blind Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and his fiancee Veronica Berti.

Following is an English Translation for the French Lyrics.
The happy days when we were loving friends!
At that time life was more beautiful,
And the sun more brilliant than today.
The dead leaves are gathered in a shovel.
You see, I haven’t forgotten!
The dead leaves are gathered in a shovel,
Memories and regrets as well.
And the wind from the north carries them off
In the cold night of oblivion1.
You see, I haven’t forgotten,
The song you sang to me.
This is a song that resembles2 us.
You who loved me, I who loved you,
And we lived, the two of us, together.
You who loved me, I who loved you,
But life separates those who love each other
Very gently, without making noise.
And the sea erases on the sand
The footsteps of separated lovers.

The autumn leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips, the summer kisses,
The sunburned hand I used to hold.
Since you went away the days grow long.
And soon I'll hear old winter's song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.
Autumn leaves
Lyrics: Johnny Mercer
The falling leaves drift by the window,The autumn leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips, the summer kisses,
The sunburned hand I used to hold.
Since you went away the days grow long.
And soon I'll hear old winter's song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.

Amazing Grace (Learning by Singing)
Amazing Grace is a well-known Christian hymn. The melody is believed to be a Scottish folk song in origin. The lyrics were written by John Newton.
John Newton once was a slave trader, until the night of a great storm that tossed his slave ship in the high waters. He began to pray and repented of his sin. He saw the Amazing Grace of God. He turned from his sin of the slave trade and began to walk a life of service to God.
He wrote down many well-known hymns. One of them is “faith’s Review and Expectation”, which came to be known by its opening, “Amazing Grace”. The lyrics tell his story.

Old Glory (Learning by Singing)
Old Glory[1]
Lyrics and music by Phil Stacey
In the midnight hour I see her waving proudly thru the night.The stars and stripes she bares are a glorious site.
They represent all the heroes who couldn't stand to see her fall.
They represent this great nation and remind us all.
There is still a land of freedom and a home for the brave,
A nation under God where justice reigns.
There's a country united however different we may be.
We can walk a little taller[2] when we see, Old Glory.
There is strength within her colors and a courage all can see
That brings hope and peace to some and others to their knees[3].
There is power in her presence and a calm within her wave
And if you listen closely you can hear her say.
There is still a land of freedom and a home for the brave,
A nation under God where justice reigns.
There's a country united however different we may be.
We can walk a little taller when we see, Old Glory.
She's been tattered. She's been turned, been abused and even burned.
But she hasn't lost a thread of dignity, because her strength can't be found in her colors or her bounds. Her strength is found in you and me.
So let us all remember the sacrifices made,
The battle we've won and the prayers we've prayed.
Let's make sure that our heroes didn't sacrifice in vain.
Let us join together and proudly proclaim.
There is still a land of freedom and a home for the brave,
A nation under God where justice reigns.
There's a country united however different we may be.
We can walk a little taller when we see, Old Glory.
So let's walk a little taller when we see, Old Glory, Old Glory.
--------
[1] Old Glory
►The national flag of the United States of America.
[2] walk tall
►Show pride and self-confidence.
-- The most important thing she taught us was to walk tall.
[3] bring someone / something to their knees
►Make someone submit; reduce to a position of subservience; to destroy or defeat someone or something.
--You've got to bring the battle to a final effort to bring the enemy to their knees.
--Ignored for decades, even centuries, China's environmental problems have the potential to bring the country to its knees economically.
--Out-of-control inflation brought the economy to its knees.

Old Glory is the American flag’s name. Many American songs are titled “Old Glory”. This is a new one written by Phil Stacey, the finalist of American Idol 2007, while he was on active duty in the Navy. The song is not only patriotic but also inspiring.
Phil Stacey performed it in public for the first time in Wichita, Kansas to help the people of Greensburg rebuild their town after suffering massive damage from a tornado.

Fly Me to the Moon (Learning by Singing, 2008/9/3)
"Fly Me to the Moon", a pop standard song written by Bart Howard in 1954, originally titled "In Other Words".
Lyrics: Bart Howard
Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
It takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing
With music and words I've been playing[1]
For you I have written a song
To be sure that you know what I'm saying
I'll translate as I go along[2]
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Over the Rainbow (Learning by Singing, 2008/7/16)
"Over the rainbow" is a signature song of the movie, "The wizard of Oz", which tells the story about a schoolgirl, Dorothy, who lived on a farm with her aunt and uncle, but dreamed of a better place, somewhere over the rainbow. One day she was taken by a tornado to the wonderful Land of Oz and began her journey with Scarecrow, Tin man and Cowardly lion to find out the way home.Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway,
There's a rainbow highway to be found,
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun,
Just a step beyond the rain.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
