Do you sing around the house, either with the radio , with your cds OR just cos ya feel like it?

If so, WHERE do you sing?
WHAT jobs are you usually doing?
WHICH type of song do you warble?

I'm just wonderin WHO I have to blame for the bad weather we've been having..

I often sing when I'm in the car to the radio--I get strange looks sometimes when at traffic lights from the next lane.
Its funny sometimes though cause the person in the car in the other lane is obviously listening to the same station as they are singing too or beating out the rhythm too!

I sing when ironing at home to the radio or CD's.
I'm usually warbling to up tempo stuff.

'Warbling' I like that

I like to 'sing' especially when the track has some groovy backing singing... its great to pitch in now and again... plus you don't tire yourself out

I sing at the top of my voice whatever I'm doing....normally out of tune it has to be said. Even Max howls along......howl along with Max (nice ring to that...Max Bygraves eat your heart out!)

I sing whatever song happens to be in my head. If I can't remember the words or the tune I just make it up as I go along!

IT'S ALL MY FAULT CAROLE!!
I sing whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like it!
I sing along to the radio or CDs in the car (it terrified tourists when I lived near Edinburgh!), I sing in the shower, when I'm cooking and I deliberately let a HUGE pile of ironing build up last week so I could sing my way through some of my Dusty CDs while I was at it - luckilly for Ian there was a door between us so he could watch TV without thinking there was a cat dying in our kitchen!!



Smile - Life's FAR too short to waste time frowning!

I like your honesty, Elaine....

Although I have a massive confession, and that is:

I harmonise with Dusty on 'Mocking Bird!'

How shocking is that?!..

...But, I bet I'm not the only one.

I don't actually harmonise with her--its a wonder she doesn't stop in sheer disbelief

For somebody who has a very low voice, I do attempt a ridiculous ammount of high notes - Agnetha from Abba would probably shoot me if she heard me 'singing' The Winner Takes It All!!

After many, many years of providing backing vocals (in my car) to a myriad of musical talents (via the radio and CDs), I am ready, willing and (somewhat) able to fill in as needed in a musical emergency.

Oh, and I also did a bit of vocalizing at Jonathan's place in April (as almost EVERYTHING seemed to inspire that crew to break into song at the drop of a hat!)

Mockingbird is a favourite to sing to.

I sing everywhere, I'm one of those crazy people that will sing in the grocery store if the right song comes on over the speakers, because I don't care.

Not only do I sing in the car, but I dance as much as the seatbelt restriction will allow.

My friend is the music director at the local catholic church and he asked me to be a cantor, so now I'm one of those annoying people who does those chants, you know, singing the list of saints and throwing in a "pray for us" here and there.

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed any changes in their voice over time?? I used to have a powerful voice when I was in my 20's, but it has completely thinned out. Which rather ticks me off. I sound fine but I can't sing the fun stuff anymore. Anyone else?
