Do you sing in your car?
If so, do you stop doing it at stoplights or when other drivers pass you?
I love singing in the car; it's the only place the kids can't run away from me to avoid listening to it.}(

40. You are?
You're afraid of clowns? I must have caught that CRSS from you. :scared:

I'm 48% pure so of coure I wouldn't intentionally bring in the clowns around you. Would I? :evilgrin:

43. Well, I Don't Like Clowns
afraid might be a strong word, but I wouldn't want to be in an alley with clowns, so maybe afraid is the word.


CRSS is contagious. I should have told you to use protection :rofl:

(special keyboard condoms are the best protection against CRSS known and recommended by the CDC most often)

48% pure, It's the 62% impure part that might just bring clowns around me-yup, that's the part that :scared: me.

Don't worry about CRSS, chances are that you will only get a mild case in which your posting will become less clear, and more naughty. Other than that you'll be fine. Unless you get the worst strain, in which your posts become more disorganized, and you develop an irrational fear of clowns in the process. :evilgrin:

3. I do sing in the car
I also talk out loud to myself or talk back to the radio. I always drive alone and I do NOT stop when other people can see me. I really don't give a damn what they think and if they think I'm crazy, maybe they won't get in my way. :evilgrin:

7. I used to. I'd tape the instrumental parts of songs I did, then practice doing the vocals
over them while I was driving.

Back when I was able to be a musician...

12. Heck yes, I do!
:D For the past two summers I've had a 20-minute drive to and from work, and I had a blast turning up my classic rock station and singing along. Sometimes I stop singing when I'm at stoplights (mostly since I live in a small town and I'm afraid somebody I know will see me :blush: ), but when I'm being passed on the interstate I don't usually mind. :shrug: It's fun stuff. I love singing...and yeah, the car is pretty much the only place I feel comfortable doing it, because nobody can hear me! :P

26. "I don't know how to love him!"
For some reason, I think I can sing as loud as I can songs from "Jesus Christ Superstar" in my car. And for some reason, I think I sound better the louder I get.

But only on the highway. I'd die if someone actually heard me.

I love to sing! I also fire up the CDs at night, and sing along. My cat looks at me as if I've lost my mind, but I must not be too bad, because she stays on my lap while I'm singing.

36. I do. Mostly Baby Einstein songs for my son Sergio.
"Head, shoulders, knees and toes. Knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes. Knees and toes.
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes. Knees and toes."

Judging by his reaction, you'd think I was Dave Matthews or something. He thinks
I'm the cats meow!

39. Every day. I used to carpool with two other people and I loved it. But they both quit
last fall and no one else at my office works the same schedule and lives in the same neighborhood. At first I was really bummed about driving alone (I still hate that I'm wasting the fuel for one person), but it's gotten much better since I loaded up my iPod with songs I love to sing. I'm sure I must look like a lunatic but I don't care!

I guess it's a good thing I don't have kids to be embarrassed. :-)

53. A lot less than I used to
but, I still sing in the car sometimes. Of course, being the parent of a girl that turns 4 next week, I find myself singing kiddie songs a lot, too... though, I have taught her "For What It's Worth" from Buffalo Springfield.

63. Me too. That kinda makes me sad
I guess I don't listen to as much music in the car as I used to. I don't listen to as much music in general. Sports talk is always on by default in the car. Half the time that's even turned down because I'm talking on my hands-free phone.

I don't embarrass easily at this point.

Funny, too, it's the reason I don't have an iPod. I LOVE to sing along and with an iPod I don't think I'd get that surroundsound effect.

It's one of my self-defense tools. Sing loud enough, and the kids stop asking me to drive them here, there and everywhere. Especially when their friends are in the car.

In fact, I hope by doing so I help give someone else the courage to sing without shame. :P

Heck, it's your car! If you can't sing there, then where? And don't say the shower, cause ever since videocameras became relatively affordable, that is no longer safe.

64. Was singing "O Sole Mio" on the Mass Pike today, returning from
Boston to New Haven. Loudly. With expression. I do the same with "Nessun Dorma," and sing along with the 3 Tenors. "Vinero, vincero,vincero!" is the last line and it means "I will win, I will win, I will win!" It helps get me out of a bad mood.
