Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Get On Your Boots, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement and a dense lyric flow. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
