You Can’t Carry A Tune In A Bucket

Like “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”, “you can’t carry a tune in a bucket” is another mean expression that refers to a person’s inability to produce something of quality, this time with a musical meaning. This wordy insult means that a person has absolutely no musical or singing talent, and should just give up.
