I Hate Men

Me singing "I Hate Men" at a recital on February 8th, 2010. The song is from the musical "Kiss Me, Kate" (based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew) by Cole Porter.

Grr. My lack of breath control is a little annoying but other than that I'm actually pretty happy with this performance.

Thanks so much to my lovely teacher and accompanist and Irene for getting a video of this. :)

By the by, comments/ constructive criticisms are appreciated.

Lyrics:
I hate men, I can't abide them even now and then
Than ever marry one of them, I'd rest a virgin rather
For husbands are a boring lot and only give you bother
Of course I'm awfully glad that mother had to marry father
But I hate men

Of all the types I've ever met within our democracy
I hate the most the athlete with his manner bold and brassy
He may have hair upon his chest but sister so has Lassie
Oh, I hate men

I hate men, their worth upon this earth I dinna ken
Avoid the traveling salesman though a tempting Tom he may be
From China he will bring you jade and perfume from Araby
But don't forget 'tis he who'll have the fun and thee the baby
Oh, I hate men

If thou shouldst wed a businessman, be wary, oh be wary
He'll tell you he's detained in town on business necessary
His business is the business which he gives his secretary
Oh, I hate men!

Peace! No hard feelings, guys.

@bashjpfreak7 You're welcome and i know what you mean! I'm thinking of singing it in the school talent show thing we have but i can't actually sing so i'm not sure how well it will go

[bashjpfreak7]

@TheCousinChronicals oh please! everyone can sing, it's just level of training, experience and passion that varies. if you like the song go for it! practice it with someone who you can trust to be honest and helpful and then get up on stage and do it! :)
