Grace Kelly - (Mika Cover Redone)

Grace Kelly - (Mika Cover R... Lyrics & Chords

I think this is the longest I’ve stayed away from muziboo in terms of uploads since I joined. Not sure how many of you are familiar with this song. GraceKelly was one of my earliest covers on muziboo. My mom used to love it and hence I felt I should sing it agin.

This song is a lot of fun especially coz of the crazy scale. It goes from the lower end of my range to almost the other extreme in falsettos. Breath control is also key for this song.
Hope you enjoy the cover!

Song: Grace Kelly
Artist: Mika
Covered and Mixed by: George Kuruvilla

Lyrics:
Grace Kelly lyrics

I wanna talk to you
{The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears
I promise you that won’t happen again}

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

Yeah, I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I’m a little bit shy
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I’ve gone identity mad!

I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you walk out the door!

{Getting angry doesn’t solve anything}

How can I help it? How can I help it?
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby, hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink

Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I’ve gone identity mad!

I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself, hey!
But you only want what everybody else
Says you should want, you should want

I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Walk out the door!

I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Walk out the door!

{Humphry, we’re leaving}

George,

Never heard the original before, but, Man, what a song and what an amzazing ease with which you have sung it. Totally terrific. I am not kidding, but you should go onto American Idol and sing your way up to the top…seriously.
Best,

Ravi

Hey George, thoroughly enjoyed your rendition… Not heard the original (guess I don’t need to either, after listening to your version), but very interesting song choice and very well delivered… What I liked best was that the crazy scale changes (as your rightly put it) were very very smooth. 5/5 from me…!
