Before you say this is the stupidest question I’ll ever ask on PopWatch, allow me to say this: Do not underestimate me or the depth to which my stupidity will sink on a slow news day.
This question is legit for two reasons: 1) We all know that bathrooms have great acoustics, and we’re all smart/dumb enough to take advantage of it at least occasionally. 2) I’m pretty sure that my next-door neighbor busted me this morning singing Air Supply’s most underrated ballad, “Chances” (awesome clip below).
I’ve been in this apartment for three years, and I never knew how thin the wall was between my bathroom and whatever room that neighbor was in when I heard him saying, “Come, Damon. Come, Damon” after my shower stopped. All I can hope is that he (and his cat?) have enjoyed my renditions of “Chances.” And Conway Twitty’s “It’s Only Make Believe.” And Paul Anka’s “Hold Me Till the Morning Comes” (featuring Peter Cetera). And Neil Diamond’s “I Am… I Said.” And the standard “The Very Thought of You.”
Your turn. What song(s) do you sing in the shower?
“Your Love” by Outfield. I can’t sing to save my life but somehow those high notes sound great while soaping up.
This is easy, because I probably sing the same songs every day–there’s something about being behind a shower curtain that makes you think no one can hear you
.
I sing Kelly Clarkson’s “Beautiful Disaster,” Celine Dion’s “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now,” “I Who Have Nothing,” and The Hush Sound’s “Magnolia”. Yep. It’s awesome.
Journey, Hall & Oates, Heart…
“Lean On Me” and anything Whitney Houston. I go all out, even using the shower head as a mic, Ferris Bueller style!
My go-to standard is Dusty Springfield’s version of “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me.” But anything that pops into my head tends to get shower play.
No shower singing can compete with car singing for me though. I’m so good in the car.
I bust out the showtunes! My favorite is “On My Own” from the broadway hit Les Miserables.
Der Holle Rache. In the shower, no one has to know you can’t hit the highest note in the history of history
I like to stick my head under the spray and sing “What A Wonderful World”. The water bubbling on my lips makes me sound more like Louis Armstrong. I also like “When We Swing” from the Family Guy episode with Frank Sinatra Jr.
“it’s not unusual to be loved by anyone… ” (don’t know the title) probably because of aidan singing it in the shower in SATC.
“Oh! Darling” (Beatles) and “Shameless” (Billy Joel) – and Josie, you’re not on your own singing “On My Own”!
My neighbors are sick of Madonna’s Immaculate Collection… I jump back and forth between Like a Prayer, Express Yourself, and — of course — Vogue.
People by la Streisand; I Left My Heart in San Francisco by Mr. Tony Bennett; Somewhere Over the Rainbow Judy Garland — and the shower doesn’t even have to be on — I just like singing in there
“Take My Breath Away” by Berlin.
The sweeping, epic chorus sounds soooo good bouncing off yellow tile.
Seriously.
Carly Simon “You’re So Vain” is always fun and then any showtumes – mainly Rent or my new favorite Spring Awakening. When I’m in the shower, I become very convinced of my ability to make it as a recording artist.
Um, “Holding Out For A Hero” “I Will Survive”, “Be My Lover”, shall I continue?
