American Sign Language is a very expressive language. Songs in sign language are therefore equally expressive and many times are more expressive than their purely vocal versions.
If you’re interested in learning how to sign songs, visit our Interpreting Songs for the Deaf page.
There are so many people that have interpreted songs into ASL and posted their awesome videos for all to see. You can see some of the best songs in ASL for various genre below.

Sir Mix Alot – “I Like Big Butts”
This is a great video, but keep in mind that he’s using ASL as comedy in this video. For example, for the lyric “butt” (as in rear end), he signs “but” (as in the conjunction). Very funny!
