Confess! We all do it. And I want the details. What do you sing in the shower?
Or maybe it’s the car. But the shower is better. It’s not quite as private as driving alone in your car, but the acoustics are superior. (If you don’t have music hooked up in your bathroom, you really should look into it. Here’s an inexpensive but effective solution.)
Whatever the case, you know the song I mean. It’s the one that comes up on random and whether you’re a closet Susan Boyle or you sound more like William Hung, you find yourself singing every word, every last “ooh,” “aah,” and “oh, baby” right along with your stereo.
So give it up. Gimme the song in your music library that’s a real shower singer. Today I submit two:
Almost Blue by Elvis Costello
Fairweather Boyfriend by Toby Lightman
Don’t thank me. Or rather, thank me by submitting your own!
Not in the shower — there are other people and cats in the house. But in the car, along with the stereo, Wagner’s “Pilgrim’s Chorus” and Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon Wheel” are great for me. I can tell whether you are flat or off key in general, but I am tone deaf to my own voice. So I always sound at least as good as Caruso, and if I work some more on breathing, I’ll soon be pushing Pavarotti!
