It would be wonderful to even take on the ultimate challenge of performing the vocals as well.

You Really Got MeThe Kinks

If there isn’t much time before the school festival and you don’t have enough time to practice with your band members, I think it’s fine to stick with just this one song instead of choosing a difficult one.

There are more and more young people who don’t know The Kinks, but this song is a wonderful track that’s said to be the origin of rock.

Even if it’s a school festival live show, not everyone will be in a band.

There are probably singer-songwriter types who perform solo as well.

In that case, someone like Beck would be a good recommendation.

He has a unique talent and can sing with just an acoustic guitar, so covering his songs should be relatively easy.
