Everybody i talk to has songs they love to sing...either
with their friends or by themselves. two of the coolset places to sing are in stairwells (ala the goo-wop groups
in the 50's) ...or the absolute best place...
the in bathroom...in the shower!

love that echo...! i used to wiat until everybody was gone
out of the crib...grab my guitar and go in the bathroom
and sing my fave tunes...

but the most fun is singing acappella in the shower.

somebody told me once anybody can sound good in the
shower/bathroom!
hmmm...i don't know 'bout that!
anyway...what songs do U like to sing either by yourself,
with your peeps...or in the bathroom.

i'll throw 5 out that seem to be bathroom regulars of mine:

Up on the roof-drifters
my girl-temptations
goodnight sweetheart-spaniels
you send me-sam cooke
witchcraft-frank sinatra

"Mr. Telephone Man"- New Edition
"I Am Love"- Jackson 5
"Let Me Be The One"-Five Star (anyone in the UK remember them?)
"We're Almost There"-Michael Jackson
"Joy In Repitition"- (Uhh...I forgot)

i wuz singin "there is love" by al green today while in the shower...it wuz so weird, cuz i just started singin it all the sudden.

I love singing ANY song by The Smiths or Morrissey in the shower

cos I can be all dramatic and noone has to hear/see...it's my favorite

Ain't nobody dope as me I'm dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)
Don't you think I'm so sexy I'm dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)
Ain't nobody dope as me I'm dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)
I love when you stare at me I'm dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)

Anything that bennefits from some echo !!

exactly. songs like 'purple rain' and 'another lonely christmas' work for me.

besides prince songs, uhm.. d'angelo. and that's about it really. their music's in my head when i wake up.

but staircases and bathrooms ARE the best places to sing.

I love singing Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes, but once the water turns up, i shut up cause i sound horrible

"The Ex Factor / Zion" ~ Lauryn Hill

"Before You Walk Out of My Life" ~ old school Monica

"Power of Love / Love Power" ~ Luther Vandross

Lately, I've become aware of the fact that the moment I step into the shower I start to sing. (Not sang but sing.) Thing is, I can't remember what. I'm gonna have to keep track.

whatever is in my head when I step in.

i find myself singing "like a prayer" in the shower sometimes

LOL I turn the bathroom into a church when I'm having the shower I'm getting the holy ghost and the whole scenario when I'm singing my ass in that bathroom. I see THANGS that shouldn't even be there

* All of Me - Nat King Cole / Frank Sinatar / Various others
* Hanky Panky - Madonna
* Father Figure - George Michael
* Gold - Prince
* Lookin Through The Windows - Jackson 5

Somewhere over the rainbow- Seriously!!!

Or sometimes i sing...

- REO speedwagons "keep on loving you"
- Rain, Madonna

Oh yeah, 'Man On The Moon' by REM, but I always end up flowing into 'The One I Love' for some reason. They sound similar.

coool ellie. Looking through the Windows? damnnn...that's
one i've never sang in the shower?

the j5 ones i've done in there are these classics:
"i'll be there...love you save (i get down on jermaine's
parts) sugar daddy (she's drivin' nuts )

and one of my fave early mj's tune "got to be there".

good choice of ole blue eyes. his 50's stuff was DA bomb.
i;ve sung these by him:my funny valentine...i've got a kick
out of you...come fly with me (this ones a bitch) and
brazil.

luther & lauryn...excellent songs.

luther is tough to sing. U get major props from me!

youngca said:

Well thanks! I've sung them millions of times... so I've pretty much perfected those four...

Fhunkin said:

U got that right.
the old doo-wop standards are my speciality in the shower
cuz they are made for the echo effect.

here's some to try if you got a 50'-60's "jones":

flamingos-i only have eyes for you & lovers never say
goodbye

miracles:bad girl,way over there ...you really got a hold
on me (please b warned only do smokey if you got THAT falsetto in shape!) choosey beggar (all his 50's-60's
stuff is really updated doo-wop.

anything by frankie lymon (anybody see lorenz tate's take on
frankie?)

and for the ladies who wanna do some female doo-wop.

try the CHANtels: maybe (what a great voice)
and the shirelles (i love me some shirley)
baby its you...will you still lov eme tomorrow...mama said

oh yeah...for peeps who don't know these oldies
anything by "solo",boyz2 men.jodeci...after 7.take 6 will
do,too.

charles
"anybody can sing in the shower-U don't gotta be good -just
be enjoing yourself,right?

Most people don't know this one, but 'What a Good Boy' by Barenaked Ladies is one of my all time favourites, and one of the few my puny little voice can sing all the way rthrough with no trouble and still make it sound powerful.

Ah, I just keep going...

It Ain't Over Til It's Over - Lenny Kravitz
Just Another Day - Jon Secada
Sleeping Satelite - Tasmin Archer

And last of all...

Run With Us - Lisa Lougheed - none other than the theme tune to The Racoons
