How much do you sing?

I sing to every song I hear… in the car, radio. Adverts….
I can’t help myself. I am also tone deaf. My DH and teenagers are fabulous singers and hardly ever sing. Occasionally I am politely asked to stop 😂 Mostly they are long-suffering!

All the time to the radio at work. It's currently tuned to Greatest Hits radio so lots of oldies to sing along too.

Inyourwildestdreams · 23/11/2023 21:23

Constantly. And I’m bloody awful 😂

GrumpyOldCrone · 23/11/2023 21:26

All day, every day. I sing to myself in the street. One of these days I’ll be carted off somewhere.

OrangeSofa1 · 23/11/2023 21:35

I think some of it is that I have to show off how word perfect I am to every song from 1984 onwards.

Constantly Grin

Constantly. Always the wrong lyrics though.

Quiregirl · 23/11/2023 21:38

All the time. Just back from a rehearsal. Am a professional singer so it goes with the territory.

DawnBreaks · 23/11/2023 21:40

I used to sing all the time at work. Literally every day. (nursery nurse) since leaving 6 years ago my voice has literally gone! I cant hold a tune in a bucket and I was pretty decent back in the day! If you don't use it you lose it obvs!

OrangeSofa1 · 23/11/2023 21:41

But do you sing when off duty? Kylie songs, we buy any car jingles etc? Or are you silent when not working?

I sing a lot. Sometimes well, sometimes less well. But several times a day, at least. I love to sing!

Mouldyfoodhelp · 23/11/2023 21:43

Never, it would drive me mental if I lived with someone singing all the time.

HouseofHolbein · 23/11/2023 21:43

All the time. In the car at full volume. Have to stop myself when I am walking along with AirPods in 🤣🤣 although I used to quietly sing when walking to work for 4am. Figured it would scare the maniacs off 🤣🤣

Devilsmommy · 23/11/2023 21:45

I'm forever singing something but I'm a metal head so don't think DH or DS enjoy it as much as I do😆

Chickoletta · 23/11/2023 21:46

I’m a professional classical singer so, a lot. I find it hard to believe that people don’t sing to their children, around the house, in the car etc. I never judge the quality of singing when people are enjoying it and wish more people would just sing for the joy of it!

Takethehintandfuckoff · 23/11/2023 21:47

I sing all the time, at work, at the bus stop, doing washing up.

Cyclistmumgrandma · 23/11/2023 21:51

Regularly, with a couple of local choirs. (We've even sung at the Royal Albert Hall!). Currently preparing for a Christmas Concert.

Libertass · 23/11/2023 21:53

I would love to be able to sing, but I can’t, so I don’t. Ever. Because I am notoriously tone deaf, and the world really doesn’t need to have my appallingly tuneless voice inflicted upon it.

OneRingToRuleThemAll · 23/11/2023 21:54

All the time. I've had vocal lessons once a week for the last 4 years and sing in a choir.

Almost no one is tone deaf or can't sing. It's just that the voice is an instrument they haven't learnt to play yet.

Sunandnomoon · 23/11/2023 21:59

I sing a lot in the car, and when I’m listening to music as I work every day. I’m not a good singer but I was in the choir at primary school and it always improves my mood.

gotomomo · 23/11/2023 22:03

Lots, currently on my way home from choir

MirandaWest · 23/11/2023 22:05

I sing a lot of the time. Probably don’t realise I’m doing it some of the time. I sing nicely though 😊

TrousersAndPotato · 23/11/2023 22:06

I get paid to sing too. But I'm not very good! It's a weird one! But I sing all the time wherever I am, regardless! My kids think I'm barmy!

ILoveChocolateandCoffee · 23/11/2023 22:08

I sing along to music when I can. I love singing. My talent is sadly lacking, It was confirmed after my cat sat on the sofa next to me and put a paw on my shoulder she thought i was in pain!! I had to let her know I wasn't actually ill!

Lovelynames123 · 23/11/2023 22:09

All day long at work, I'm pretty terrible and am often told that by my customers! I really don't care though, it makes me happy🙂

DreamingInPhosphorescence · 23/11/2023 22:11

Never, my singing is so bad that even I don’t want to hear it. I do however drum along with songs on any random surface and/or tap along with my feet.
