Jim Colyer Band is a free-wheeling, ever-changing thing. Members come and go. The one constant is my catalog of songs. I do some of the lead vocals but employ females as I write lots of girl songs.

Story behind the song
First part is true, second part is fiction. The girl really did tell me this in the karaoke bar, but I did not give her the "creeps."
Lyrics
She was sitting next to me Thumbing through the karaoke book I scooted up closer Tried to get a better look She had a cute little nose Man, I couldn't stomach that ring She said, "I'm only looking for Something That I Can Sing" She wore a low-cut blouse She had a miniscule mini-skirt on I tried to keep my cool But she could tell that I was coming on I said, "I don't mine Garth But I'm in love with Shania Twain" She said, "I'm only looking for Something That I Can Sing" I'm only looking for Something that I can sing I come here every Friday night Just to do my thing He called out her name She shuffled to the microphone She let out a shriek I could hear the karaoke host groan She sounded like a peacock Someone in terrible pain She said, "I'm only looking for Something That I Can Sing" solo I'm only looking for Something that I can sing I come here every Friday night Just to do my thing She put on her ball cap Headed out to her Jeep She hollered back to me "Man, you gimme the creeps!" I dress like a tramp But that doesn't mean a thing She said, "I'm only looking for Something That I Can Sing" She said, "I'm only looking for Something that I can sing Jim Colyer ASCAP
