Your Morning ChuckleLife's Little Instructions: Sing In The Shower
I am not one to sing in the shower, but I suspect it has therapeutic benefits, and I plan to start this morning.
Most people find the shower a final refuge from the madness of a hurly burly life. So why not bubble out a few verses of "That's Amore," "Que Sera, Sera," "Benny and the Jets," or maybe just do the "Na-na-na-naaa ..." sequence from "Hey Jude," and get more blather for your lather?
It really doesn't matter if you're a little off-key or a bit pitchy. After all, it's the shower, not the American Idol auditions. You can get the words wrong, lose track of the melody, bottlecap the rhythm — what the heck — it's your stage and usually your only audience will be the soap and that gnarly exfoliating set of colourful loofahs.
Anyone else, say disgusted family members or nosy neighbours, listen at their own risk.
So why not? Let 'er rip.
After all, in a world that expects you to get everything right, it's nice to have a place where you can get everything wrong and still walk out feeling cleansed and refreshed.

It is refreshing. I have found it rejuvenating. My favorite is oooh I'm driving my life away. Looking for a sunny day ! :) great song and fun to sing. Happy singing.
ReplyDeleteHaha ... yes, that song would work for sure ...

DeleteI sing in the car.
ReplyDeleteDo you harmonize with the traffic sounds ...?
Delete'I am not one to sing in the shower, but I suspect it has therapeutic benefits, and I plan to start this morning. ' ..so...what song did you choose for your début?..I hope you didn't chicken out. :)
ReplyDeleteThat Louis Armstrong song would've been a great way to start the day!
Haha ... yes, I love the music of Satchmo, but my song of choice was Queen's "We Will Rock You" ... mainly because I know the lyrics ...
