What do you sing in the shower?
 
I think that there was a similar thread a while ago, but I can't find it (search function on this forum is not very good, Mr Habib). Anyhow, what operatic movements do you perform while washing your naughty bits? Recently. I have unearthed a fairly good version of 'How Will I Know' by Whitney Houston for scalding water and Dove shower gel. Most of the time the fun is changing the words to something naughtier, in that case crack references about La Whitney herself.

It'd be nice if you posted the fruits of your bathroom session. If you are playing a gig in the toilet, it's always good to have the water running at lukewarm temperature.

Trivia:

Black Francis (when he was still called that) took a lot of inspiration to write songs for the Pixies by shouting in the shower to very hot water running on his tubby body. The cause for those very hot showers would regularly be arguments with his girlfriend. Fascinating man.

I'm currently working on my shower version of Leadbellys Pick A Pale of Cotten, it's pretty thight already.
Before that, my weapon of choice was They're Red Hot by Robert Johnson but i got kinda tired of that.

But yeah, it's all about Blues for me when it comes to showers.

I take baths.

My neighbourhood signed a petition to make me stop singing in the shower. I don't know why, my version of CREEP is so better than Korn's one.:o

SynthethicalY 08.02.2007 09:24 AM

It's not very often, but when I do I find myself singing Tom Waits a lot in the shower. Just seems oddly fitting.

_slavo_ 08.02.2007 11:25 AM

Birchville Cat Motel / Sunroof / My Cat is an Alien.

And sometmes Nels Cline, when I'm in an especially upbeat mood.
