Do You Sing in Your Car?

[Bobdude161]

Hell yeah I do!! I'm okay though, I practice alot. It's quite fun. Even when people drive by me, I just keep goin cuz I don't give a fuh.
Whateva! Whateva! I do what I want! -Eric Cartman
How's about yerself?

[viccles]

Yes. Yes I do. Dont really care what other people think I wont see them again!

[katie ta achoo]

Uh.. YES.

Even if it's classical music, I'll pick a part and sing along. :cool:

so fun. :):)

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

No. I don't sing. Ever. Not alone. Not for others. Actually, when I worked at the theatre I was one of two guys who were instructed to lipsync during song numbers in one of the plays I was in... the others couldn't sing in tune because of us... :D

I do play a mean steering wheel drum, though... ;)

[Nermal]

Yes, I do. I've been told I'm quite good :)

[Eastend]

Yes sometimes, nobody in the car but the wife and she does it too sometimes. Although I have done it when the car was full, very hard to stop.

[Agent Smith]

I can't sing to save my life, but I do it anyway in my car. I don't know how to drum either, but... :D

[thedude110]

Of course!

Back around March I was really sick -- started in my throat, went down into my lungs, etc. Anyway, had made a CD with Rufus Wainwright's cover of "Across the Universe" on it and could easily sing along -- until I got sick. Couldn't talk for a while, trouble breathing, etc. -- I was knocked back a good three weeks, but gauged my health on my commute every morning by trying to sing along.

In retrospect, that's pretty pitiful. But at 6:45, on my way to Providence, trying to sing that song was my entire world!

[devilot]

If I'm in a good mood.

[GFLPraxis]

Rarely, but if I'm in a really good mood, I'll do Phantom of the Opera.

[Capt Underpants]

I chill out when im in my car... bob my head, sing a little... it's all good.

I think I piss a lot of people off because I've found that when I listen to chill music, I'm less likely to speed. So I'll put on the chill music and go the speed limit... just mellow out. Going the speed limit is too slow for some people, so they'll speed around me... but I really don't care because I'm chill, and life is good.

[Koodauw]

You hear the bass from the truck when I'm on the block

[reburrcca]

Alone with the nano, in my car, is the only place where I can be my own vocal coach and sing like a Grammy winner to any and all songs you could think of. From Stevie Wonder to Bruddah Iz (Hawaiian), I sang it... and I sang it gooooood. =] heh.

no shame. =x

[Bobdude161]

Here's a list of artists' that I love to sing along with:

Audiosalve
Blood Sweat and Tears
Cake
Death Cab For Cutie
Flaw
Foo Fighters
Eric Clapton
Sting
Theory of a Deadman
Trapt
Weezer

Of course I sing along with everything, but these guys have a good pitch range that I can comfortably keep up with in alot of their songs. Any particular artists that you enjoy singing along to?

[katie ta achoo]

Any particular artists that you enjoy singing along to?

I tried singing along with liza minelli (Cabaret) but FAILED MISERABLY.
It didn't stop me, though. :)

Showtunes.
Usually if a broadway actor can do it, I can do it badly. :)

another fav: 2 ladies.. also from cabaret.
and Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo. (damn yankees)

if it's a musical, I'll sing with. :cool:

[Lollypop]

I sing with all my heart, and all my soul, im not really good but it makes me feel good, use to get bothered if people look at me with funny expressions, but now.. f%^ck em! :D

[Tanglewood]

I sing when I'm alone in the car. Though I usually have the music louder than I'm singing so at least I sound good :). My favorite to sing along to is Kevin Spacey doing Bob Darin's Beyond the Sea.

[Counterfit]

I sing along to anything I know the melody to. So in regards to the last option, I also sing along when there are no words. And time to admit a sin too: sometimes at the orchestra concerts at school, I sing along, but quietly to myself, so no one can hear me and want to punch me (because I know I would if I heard someone in the audience singing :o)

[bousozoku]

I can carry a tune well, but the tone of my voice is bad. It's definitely better with the windows up.

[wrc fan]

I make CDs and iPod playlists of music specifically to sing (so for instance if there is a really strenuous song, I'll put a couple songs with no singing afterwards to recover). I like to sing to foreign songs, where I don't know what the song is always about, but it's just the emotion that gets me and also musicals (Les Mis and Phantom are probably my favourites) and also to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack :o I'll also whistle along to classical music. If there is a flute I'll do that part, otherwise I'll do violin.

[TheMonarch]

Does lip-synching count? :D

[bartelby]

If there's a CD playing and I know the words then I have no option but to sing along. It's either that or I talk very fast and nonstop for the entire time I 'm driving or I drive very fast.
Driving triggers manic episodes for me so I have to channel the energy somewhere.
I have an mp3 cd with over 6 hours of music that I know every word to.
I've just bought an iPod adapter for the headunit so I'll soon have 1,000s of songs to sing along to!!!

[BoyBach]

I sing, play the drums and piano (steering wheel), and occasionally play a bit of an air guitar solo (also on the steering wheel). Great fun, and so long as you don't look at any other driver's, then they can't see you, so I never get embarrassed! :D

That's rock and roll!! :cool:

[iSaint]

Not like I used to, but it's fun to fantasize. The other day I was playing some disc golf with the iPod on and caught myself singing out loud. I was alone, and I don't think anyone heard me. :o

[Lau]

No. I don't sing. Ever. Not alone. Not for others. Actually, when I worked at the theatre I was one of two guys who were instructed to lipsync during song numbers in one of the plays I was in... the others couldn't sing in tune because of us... :D

I do play a mean steering wheel drum, though... ;)

:D

Same here. Me and my one of my best friends at school were banned from singing in the car by our other friends because we were so dreadful. We used to go for drives together and sing really loudly because we could. :p

These days, I'll sing along by myself, but only if the music's loud enough to drown me out, or I spoil the music for myself. :p

[NATO]

I'm a fairy decent singer but very shy, so the car is the only place I can go nuts and not feel like someone can hear me. It's positively liberating!

[QuarterSwede]

Yeah, I sing in the car even with the windows open and music up. Its just fun.

[cheekyspanky]

I do, and I drive a convertable, so I have to quieten down when there is traffic around me!

[imnotatfault]

I really love freaking out people around me while I sit in rush hour traffic every morning/night. :D

[Foxglove9]

I do sing in the car as well. Don't get too many opportunities in the apartment to sing really loud like I can in a car.

[technicolor]

I am a rockstar in my car!:D

I sing , rap, and dance..Ive caught more than a few people watching me or dancing along with me in jest at red lights.

[imnotatfault]

I only made that mistake once....

[Wolf103FM]

I normally don't because I usually have O&A on in the car

[pink-pony115]

I sing softer than the music but I really enjoy it.

In the morning I love singing to the Beatles. - So refreshing! :)

[Lixivial]

Yes, I do, until I get all paranoid and think about how'd I feel if there were a wiretap in my car. That's when I blush and pipe down.

When I do sing, it's usually under my breath or under the tone of the song.

[Killyp]

Do I sing in my car? I sing everywhere :p

[azzurri000]

Do I sing in my car? I sing everywhere :p

Hehehe I'd like to echo that statement :D I enjoy being silly.

[zwida]

Hehehe I'd like to echo that statement :D I enjoy being silly.

Yeah, me too. My wife thinks I'm silly... I think I coulda been a star!:o

[bluetorch18]

I used to have an OK voice, but then I stopped practicing and started smoking again, not exactly good things to help your singing voice.

[Bobdude161]

Yeah same here. The first few times I would stop, but now I just throw up my horns and sing even louder!!!

[m-dogg]

Yeah.

And I rock.

:D

[Jovian9]

Non-stop......and I get annoyed when people interrupt me :)

Though every so often I am reminded of the movie 'Office Space' and will stop myself :)

[xsedrinam]

This (http://www.napsnet.com/auto/68180.html) survey shows that most do it, but that red headed females have the most fun with it. My wife would fit that though her genre of choice would differ.

[Foxglove9]

that red headed females have the most fun with it.

I guess I'm part of that group as well :D

I think I take it too far sometimes by banging on the steering wheel in rhythm to the music.

[katie ta achoo]

Um.. heck yeah.

I put my iPod on Barry Manilow, send it through the stereo in the car, and then just let go..

oh mandy! you came and you gave without takinnnggggg....

if it weren't 300°f outside, I'd roll down the windows... singing with the windows open just feels right. :D

That sure sounds red headed. :p My wife would sing a duet with you from her car...."I feel the change comin', I feel the wind blow.....".

[Reaver]

oh yeha I rock out in the car. I also sing everywhere I sing in the house I sing at work I sing in the shower and I sing in my sleep. I use to be in a church mens group so the singing has never left.

[backsidetailsli]

****ing rock like a crazy ass mofo in my car. people think im crack'd out. :D

[mduser63]

I certainly do. As you may have noticed by my avatar, I'm a huge Neil Young fan. My brothers tell me that I hit every note perfectly when I'm singing along to a Neil Young song. Now Neil isn't known for being a (classically) good singer, so I voted that I'm OK.

Like others, I don't care if people see me, I don't know who they are, and I'll almost certainly never see/talk to them again. Besides, I see other people singing in their cars all the time. What's to be embarrased about?

[katie ta achoo]

I'm a redhead by choice. :D

[Bobdude161]

I'm a redhead by choice. :D

I'm a redhead by heart then.

[Queso]

Better than that. I sing along to the songs in my head when I'm on the motorbike. I even get down to the beat when I stop for junctions, tapping out drum patterns on the fuel tank and stuff. All the motorists around me probably think I've got headphones on :p

[bartelby]

All the motorists around me probably think I've got headphones on :p


Or you're a loony!;)

[Queso]

Or you're a loony!;)
Which is possibly closer to the truth. Ah well, it's not like behind my helmet and visor anyone can recognise me :D

[katie ta achoo]

All the motorists around me probably think I've got headphones on :p

Ugh, I've seen people in Houston who ACTUALLY do that!
they aren't on motorbikes, but in their normal cars!
it's super-dangerous and I'm pretty sure wholly illegal.

*shakes head*

[apunkrockmonk]

I most definitely sing while driving.

[dhc]

I'm not sure it can be counted as singing, but I certainly wail along. Loudly.

Odd thing is, the older I'm getting, the more lyrics I seem to be forgetting. Singing out of tune, loudly with the WRONG lyrics is great fun, if only to watch my son slide down in the passenger seat to avoid being spotted by anyone he knows...:cool:

[kgarchar]

most of the reason i drive is so i can either sing as loud as possible, or chill to some instrumental music and think

[apachie2k]

i would say yuppp....

[dpaanlka]

Intensely
