In the shower, while driving alone, when sobriety's grasp has loosened, in a crowd, in front of an audience, or while doing the dishes... Do you ever sing?
I did musical theater and choir for nearly a decade, mostly in high school and college. I did lead vocals in an amatuer band with my friends in high school. And I frequent karaoke bars. So yeah, I sing.
I was in various choirs growing up, and performed in a few high school musicals. These days, most of the singing is only at ball games.
I go to karaoke every month or two. I'm mostly horrible, but I have a couple of songs (Elton John's "That's Why They Call it the Blues" and Kenny Rogers' "Love Will Turn You Around") that I can do fairly well.
^^^ What the demented estrogen monster said. I'll sing along to the radio while driving or if I have the iPod turned way up.
Had a few solos when I was in acting through middle and high school, did choir for a long time, now I just belt it in my car and while I'm cleaning.
Decades of hymns each Sunday have developed my ability to follow a tune, and I may sing along to a favorite song when I'm alone . . . but my voice is not good enough for unleashing on unsuspecting bystanders
Bari-tenor here. I'll sing whatever classical tune's lodged in my head at the given moment. Lately, it's been Bach.
I sing quite often, having been in a number of choirs and such throughout my life. I'll sing in front of anyone, too. Doesn't bother me.
You haven't felt true soul-crushing humiliation until alcohol inspires you to karaoke one of your favorite songs to a bar full of strangers, and you don't have the necessary vocal range to sing that song so you sing off key and your voice cracks. I do that on a regular basis.
And that is why Korean karaoke rooms are perfect. Instead of a bar full of strangers, you do that in a private room with your friends.
When I picture you singing, for some reason all that comes to me is "there's got to be a morning after", but with the Lisa Simpson parody lyrics, and it's about Wordforge. Go figure.
I sing along with Judas Priest songs when I have had too much coffee and I am driving in heavy traffic "you got another thing coming" "livin' after midnight"
When I sing "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John, I like to sing the words, "hold me closer, Tony Danza. Who's the Boss out on the highway?" just to see if anyone notices.
I sing all the time, whether it be along with a song on the radio or a theme tune or an ad jingle, but I've not got a pleasant or powerful voice. I also change words a lot (especially to 'cheese') because my son finds it hilarious and I love making him laugh.
I sang for a punk band called "Flaming Orgy Of Death", they paid me in vodka (I was between 17-18). Sang in front of a few thousand people once and got bloody in the mosh pit. My sister though, she opened Vfest in England a few years back, she's the professional.
Despite an egregious lack of talent, I can't stop singing. I often apologize to the unwitting victims of my aural wrongness but it's just what I do. Wish I did it better.
I sang a lot in church when I was a kid, though I've never been in a choir. People say I have a decent voice.
