Their Auto-Tune-tinged vocals intertwine with dazzling brass, and just listening to it lifts your spirits.

Ringo Sheena – The Moon on the Pampas Grass

Ringo Sheena’s “Miscanthus and the Moon” is actually a cover—the original song is “Gypsy” by the three-piece band Appa! Like the original, the Ringo Sheena version also has a very wide vocal range, spanning A2 to D5, so instead of singing it solo, it might be nice to split into low and high parts and perform it as a duet.

The song itself has a great groove and is pretty easy to sing up until the C section! Ringo Sheena’s singing style is unique and you might want to imitate it, but please sing in the way that feels most comfortable for your own voice! Also, the lowest note A2 can be quite challenging for women who aren’t used to low notes, so don’t force it—singing an octave higher is totally fine! The rock piano is super cool, and you can listen on YouTube, so definitely check out both versions!
