Turner Classic Movies is making it easier for everyone to sing like golden age songbirds Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Judy Garland.

TCM has just released on their very own youtube channel videos from the best of the best of the golden days of song and dance, but with a karaoke twist. In an effort to make these classics more attainable for an international crowd, the project goes by the name of Tu Cancion, or Your Song in English. Basically think of your favorite scene from any classic musical, Funny girl for example, and you can find Barbra Streisand tooting her vocal chords, while the lyrics of People scroll underneath for you to sing along with her. Truly classic karaoke.

What other songs can you find? Oh, just some old beauties like I´ve got my eyes on you, I got rythm, 42nd street and of course, Over the rainbow. Just the perfect thing to watch to get some tips from the experts before you go off trying to imitate the originals.
