How soon is now? - The Smiths
Off to the forum about the arts.
Moved from IMHO to CS.
Chains of Love–Erasure
Let’s Hear It For the Boy - Denise Williams
Electic Avenue by um…??? it goes something like this *“We’re gonna walk on down to [said in an electronic voice> electriuc avenue< an then we’ll take it higher…”
Wheel in the sky" Journey
various AC/DC songs as well.
Eddie Grant.
For me, it’s either “Chains of Love” by Erasure, or “My Sharona,” by The Knack.
I have a radio in my shower, so I’m usually singing along to whatever’s on.
My favorites have to be “I want your sex” or whatever it’s called, by that guy from Wham! His name escapes me at the moment (maybe I’ll go to the park and see if it’s written on the wall in the men’s room, or if he’s in there I’ll ask him what his name is). Or maybe it’s “Me and Mrs. Jones”, I like to sing it Sandra Bernhard-style. Or “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince.
Ah, whatever. It’s just fun to sing in the shower.
George Michael.
Come on, someone!!! PLEASE start naming these 80’s singers before I do. I’m looking rather pathetic, here.
People, people!
The correct answer is:
“Walkin’ on Sunshine.”
Oh, yeah! That is a good one.
There is A Light That Never Goes Out- The Smiths
My Kingdom- Echo and the Bunnymen
Seven Seas- Echo and the Bunnymen
Love My Way- The Psychedelic Furs
I try to imitate their voices and everything.
I Just Died in your Arms Tonight by the Cutting Crew. But only when I’m certain no one’s around.
The song by Katrina and the Waves is Walking on Sunshine, not Walkin’.
When I’m not belting out Oh, What a Beautiful Morning in the shower, I’ll sing Culture Club’s I’ll Tumble 4 Ya.
Matthew Wilder’s “Break My Stride”.
Pretender’s “Brass in Pocket”.
and Dexy’s Midnight Runner’s “Come on Eileen”.
Poor old Johnny Ray…
How can I start the day without the Jeffersons theme song?
Man, what is it with the Smiths in the shower? I like “I Started Something I Couldn’t Finish”. Sometimes “A Rush And A Push and the Land Is Ours” (I love attempting the weird growl on “A rrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRush!” My version tends to sound like a baby lion trying to roar, but I like to try anyway.)
When taking a bath, sometimes I will sit, all by myself, and start singing “I Know It’s Over”… I just love to build all the way up to the end wailing: “Ooooooooh mother, I can feeeeeeel the soil, falling over myyyyyy heaheheeeeeaaaad!” This amuses my husband to no end.
Not the Smiths:
Temptation - Heaven 17 (I become schizophrenic for this one)
Pearl’s Cafe - The Specials
Baggy Trousers - Madness
Wide Boy - Nik Kershaw
Rudie Can’t Fail - The Clash
Ant Music - Adam Ant
One Night in Bangkok - Murrey Head (I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine!)
And, oddly, Tracy Ullman’s “They Don’t Know”. I haven’t actually heard the song in years and years, not since I was a wee stump, but I still remember it clearly, as well as most of the lyrics, and sing it often. In the shower.
I sing a lot of stuff in the shower, but that’s about all the 80s stuff I can think of that I’ve sung in the past month or so.
Sometimes I Wish I Was A Pretty Girl by Robyn Hitchcock…
*Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl
So I could (oop) myself in the shower
Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl
So I could (oop) myself in the shower
Been on my own so long
I cant tell left from wrong
Bloody red bats
Squelching offal
Foaming mutilations in the kiss of death

Yeeehaaa!
I love that song! I even remember the video, with Paul McCartney at the end. It is perfect for the shower, especially the “bay-bee” part! 
Sad, snakry, and true, but the answer is Rio by Duran Duran.
HA! I actually remember that! In the car, with Paul and Tracy on the windshield (or was it Paul Loves Tracy? I remember Paul looking distinctly nervous 
), some part where she’s watching old movies, looks like a woman or kid getting hit, near the beginning there was a slimy looking guy at a bowling alley… and at the end, her pushing a shopping cart in a store in her big fuzzy slippers.
I don’t know why I was enamoured of the video, or why I remember so much of it today. I was probably only five or six when I saw it last. :eek:
