Singing in Podfic

Question: If a fic you're reading has a song in it, what's the best way to handle it?

I'm working on this one podfic where the characters are talking about a song, and there are italicized lyrics within the text of the fic. Should I sing them? Should I read them? Should I sing them if it won't be too horrible, but read them if I can't actually sing? Should I track down the song and splice that in?

How do others handle it? And which do listeners prefer?
