Hey, when a good tune ls playing, I sing along. On roadtrips, I sing just to prove to myself my voice still works. I talk back to the radio too. Sometimes other drivers honk and wave so I sing at them. But put a passenger in my car and I get too distracted to sing and drive.
All the time! I once had the car in front of me at the coffee hut pay for my order. The barista said they liked seeing someone having so much fun. I tipped her what I was going to pay. I have to say, though, I didn’t realize people would actually watch so that experience inhibited me a bit. LOL.
Occasionally; on longer trips, it helps relieve boredom. More locally (daily commute), it can be a nice way to unwind a bit from work stress on the way home. Or, now that I think about it some, a nice way to wake up some, get the mind working, blood flowing, mood lifted, etc., on the way into work.
:eek: I must admit, when I saw this poll question I thought “What a dumb question, everyone sings in the car!” Apparently not. So I learned something new today, thanks Leaffan!
I tend sing really badly making up lyrics as I go - really bad lyrics, often with lots of swearing (but which always still rhyme). This is partly because I can’t remember the actual lyrics, and partly because hell if I know.
When I’m alone, I always sing in the car. I’m too chicken to sing in front of anyone else, even though I’ve been told I can at least carry a tune fairly well.
Yes, if I’m alone. I always have my player set on shuffle. I’m not a bad singer – I’m a performing songwriter – but I don’t sing along if others are in the car because they might want to hear the music unadorned, and because in spite of years in front of audiences I’m still shy about singing. I had to work hard to find a good singing style and voice to fit my pipes. I sound so much like Stephen Merritt of the Magnetic Fields that when an unfamiliar MF song comes up my wife sometimes asks “when did you record this?” It’s weird when one of my own songs comes up and I get to sing along with myself, sometimes adding the harmony part I wish I had recorded originally but didn’t think of at the time.
