Digging The Grave by Faith No More is ridiculous in how many styles of singing it incorporates. There's crooning, soft singing, harcore punk-type yelling, and the bridge has some of Mike Patton's trademark insane screams. The song is amazing, but the amount of times you have to quickly switch between styles is overwhelming, let alone figuring out when you've got to breathe.

Nonsense is better than no sense at all.

Somehow, I can actually nail "Scatman". Even though I get tongue tied as all hell when even trying "One Week".

I don't find singing high in falsetto hard for me. I can sing Take On Me, I can hit the highs in Dream On, I can hit the Bb 5 in Bohemian Rhapsody, and I can go higher than THAT! High full voice is much harder, but I can still sing songs like Somebody to Love easily.

BTW i'm a 15 year old boy, tenor voice.

Boys Latin by Panda Bear, due to the Indecipherable Lyrics and that weird echoing of every syllable.

In fact, I didn't even think there were any actual lyrics until I looked it up. Even now, the only lyrics I can actually make out is the chorus of "Dark cloud/ Descended again". And I've listened to his music often enough that I'm actually used to his weird vocal style in most songs.

I can sorta sing "Hot Patootie" from The Rocky Horror Show, which is reputed difficult to sing for many singers, although i still fumble over the line "Get back in front and put some hair oil on". Because of the speed of the song, I have trouble getting the word "oil" in right.

[up] Because of the speed? Or you just wish you could imitate the rapper's voice timber?

As for me… any song by Daniel Balavoine, I guess. His high notes were in a world that my poor barytone vocal chords can't ever hope to reach.

[up][up][up] Speaking of Meat Loaf, I curse my baritone voice every time I listen to "Bat Out Of Hell". Especially the ending...three friggin' fortissimo high Cs, yikes.

Modern Major General. I can sing, but I would like to sing that fast, just for a little something to use as a party trick.

Can ANYONE (aside from Rob Halford of course) pull off that middle part in Judas Priest's "Freewheel Burning"?

I wish I could sing Last Surprise, but alas I am not a falsetto.

Had I been able to get the Romanian pronunciation right, I would be able to sing this beautiful club anthem. It's no Barcelona or Liverpool but that club has a beautiful, yet tragic history behind it.

Also, as a bonus, any song with fast vocal parts. Although I am able to go up to speed with the singers, I can't keep up with them consistently.

"High" (what an apropos title!) by James Blunt. This one is a bit of a cheat, since I can actually hit 95% of the notes (it helps that his voice, while a tenor to my baritone, is feather-light with a ton of falsetto on the top end; my falsetto/high head voice is pretty good up to a certain point). But I get caught out on the choruses where he busts out a B flat right off a rest, versus the first and last, where it starts on a more manageable lower note.
