It’s the stereotypical place for a capella karaoke – but I’ve never grabbed the back-scrubber and had at it. Have you?

No. I’d feel odd…like I was performing in my birthday suite. And that would not be good…it’d bring back memories of architypal nightmares I had as a child of being on stage nude.

Surprisingly for someone who sings everywhere when alone, I never sing in the shower. It just isn’t fun for some reason…

Sure, if no one is home. It’s a great resonant chamber - that’s one reason I’ve heard for why you sound better in the shower than anywhere else. You can immediately hear your own voice bounding back at you and unconsciously adjust your pitch.

Sing, no. I do, however, caterwaul, drone and warble tunelessly in the shower, to the permanent delight of my wife. There’s nothing like some off-key Springsteen to get you fired up for the day.

All the time. Whatever earworm is bugging me at the moment, I belt it out.

No, not that I can remember. But I’m not really the singing type.

No, but I talk to myself. Sometimes I reply to the Voices.

Hell yeah. I sing everywhere though where I’m relatively alone (by this I mean the car, not the shower).
I’ve got a damn good shower voice.

Occasionally, yes. I have a little stall shower so the acoustics aren’t too impressive, but I do worry that my landlords in the adjoining house can hear me. She’s an excellent singer and pianist and I feel slightly embarrassed!

I did for a while, oddly was doing it for a year and then just didn’t any more. Not something I decided.

I’m usually rehearsing for my chorus’ next concert, so I sing along with our rehearsal CD. Not just in the shower.

I do, usually whatever song’s in my head.
Hubby does as well, though he makes up his songs. It’s awesome to go down to the back of the house to go to the loo and hear a rousing rendition of “I’m a super Chris”

I do, quite often. And I often sing Italian songs, which I usually don’t sing or even listen all that much with my clothes on. Isn’t that funny?
My wife finds it very funny indeed when I launch into a rendition of _Cerco Un Centro Di Gravita’ Permanente_ or _La Topolino Amaranto_.

The shampoo isn’t going to entertain itself now is it? 😛
