Whenever Temple of the Dog’s song ‘Hungerstrike’ [link to YouTube video for the unfamiliar] comes on the radio whilst I’m driving in my car, I get an unstoppable urge to sing along. Because the song is essentially a duet, it involves Chris Cornell screaming really high and loud practically overtop of Eddie Vedder’s really low and grungy vocal. This makes for a nice challenge — and a nice bit of me making a fool of myself — so I’ve been meaning to document it somehow.
Today I decided to share the experience with you. Head on over to YouTube to see my incredibly dorky video. Be sure to stick through it long enough to see my switching from grunge to screamy falsetto.
