i was walking up the hill back in the late pm & i was singing to myself "MY BUDDY/SERGEANT RALPH YORE/U.S.M.C.!" & this jogger came up behind me. my friend jane a couple days back went up to the shop to buy milk & she was walkin thru the shop singing "JAILBAIT JANET/SHE'S THE BEST GIRL ON THE PLANET/OOOOOO" 'cause she didnt see the guy behind the counter, thought he was out the back. btw if you know both these songs wow yr as cool as me, thats enough of a prize in itself.

(upcoming credibility loss....) Barenaked Ladies in the shower; came out later to many jeers from my little brother. Vague redemption later when I was caught by the senior partner of the law firm where I work belting out a Chisel song (mmmmmmmm....Chisel). D'oh!

I have a habit of sometimes breaking into "Fly Me To The Moon."
I also occasionally pretend to have a walking stick during this outburst, and do a suave little dance like I'm wearin' me a tuxedo.
I've been caught.

I was caught singing "Cruiser's Creek" - sounds cool, yes .. but without accompaniment, it sounds quite horrible.

Singing the intro part from Mr. Bungle's AIr-Conditioned Nightmare" (the kinda boy-band sounding harmony parts) while the girl at the deli was down getting something outta the case, she popped up just as I'm like wailing on the very last notes. I'm glad she showed up before I started getting into the "buh bop bop bah"s.

I got so into my shower rendition of The Clash' "Career Opportunities" (I was pounding my feet in rythmn and trying to pull off the children's choirs from the Sandinista! version) while on a family vacation once that when I came out the whole brood was waiting to whip me with towels.

I was once a gallery sitter in the late 80's (55 Mercer Street Gallery in Soho) and generally, you had to either take an elevator up or climb two flights of stairs to get to it. If you took the elevator, I had to buzz you in. If you took the stairs, I didn't....but really, no one was willing to climb two flights of rickety, Soho loft stair to look at art.....or so I thought. One afternoon, I was ambling back and forth between the two rooms. Normally, I brought a radio, but I guess I forgot it on this day, and was by this point tired of whatever reading material I'd brought. No one had been in the gallery for literally hours. At first, I was simply humming. Then, humming turned to flat out singing. Flat out singing turned to flat out performing as I started using the gallery broom as a makeshift bass guitar. I was furiously busting out an a capella and metallified rendition of "Shout" by Tears for Fears when I spun around to see five German tourists, who had manfully climbed the stairs instead of taking the elevator.

Colour me embarassed.

My favourite example of this happened on the day I and four other girls moved into an old house renovated for student housing, so there were lots of architectural oddities, namely a giant steel vent that travelled straight up through one corner of our living room to another apartment above. A vent that proved to serve as a virtual intercom between the two floors. We discovered this when our upstairs neighbour, aparently believing he was home alone, began to belt out Christmas carols (yes, in September) at the top of his lungs. After much giggling to ourselves, all five of us spontaneously followed up his "have yourself a merry little Christmas" with a very boisterous "just like the one we had last year!". Sudden silence. Hee.

Ha, a thread that feels like ILM might be alright after all.

Alex, that scenario is so A Fish Called Wanda. You weren't bollock naked and singing in Italian, were you?

Loads of Magnetic Fields/Fall songs, I usually try and keep singing them like I don't care but it doesn't really work.

Alex in NYC I kiss you.

I hope Emma never sees this thread.
