To think I can't be the only person who sings the daily monotony of their lives as if they are in their own personal musical?

[AbsolutelyNotHoneyDragon]

Todays highlights have been

I love Soup and Rolls, Stick some in a bowl and Lunch with Meee! (Joan Jett)

and

Where have all the Biro's gone? (Paula Cole)

I don't even do it alone in the house. I do it with the Dc's in public too at times. Ds is particularly good now adding a chorus and doing harmonies.

After 10 years of marriage Dh is used to it but still thinks I am a weirdo. I refuse to believe I am the only person in the entire world that does this.

My life has been a musical for as long as I can remember I can remember being about 7 and running around the garden singing about my cats.

Dh thinks I'm mad, but this is normal actually and not singing about dinner or poo is not normal, as demonstrated by everybody on this thread : )

Songs I often sing are "Funny little x is a poo free zone", "Mummy needs a wee" (am 30 wks pg) and "Time to get out (of the bath )". Skip to my lou is a good tune to sing things too, as is frere jacques, although anything goes and I make up tunes too : )

Sometimes I narrate life too: "Mummy wondered when the boys would stop dropping their dinner on the floor and actually eat it."

Dses 2 and 3 sing about stuff too

Too many toos

DH does this. I long to kill him when he starts. Especially when it involves me telling DS off for something and DH turns it into a very badly sung semi-operatic line - yes, way to go DH for reducing the discipline to a bad chorus, really helps DS grasp the seriousness of what's going on.

DS makes up songs but they're about animals. I don't mind this (plus he can sing better than DH).
I used to do what you do, honey - but I can't bear to any more or DH joins in, different key, different tune, different words, different tempo - but apparently, that's ok because he's just joining in. No it fucking isn't.

Me too!! So I'm not a weirdo after all, or are we all weirdo's?

YANBU I do this all the time and am delighted to know its not just me. My mum does it too. And my wonderful but completely batty 80 year old GM. I'm sensing a pattern....

I realised I must do it quite a lot when I heard DS1 (4) singing "where's your dummy gone? (where's your dummy gone)" to DS2. It's to the tune of "Last night I heard my momma singing a song (oo-wee, chirpy chirpy cheep cheep)

I want to do this!! Although the one song guaranteed to make DD smile and giggle is "Maggie pops, Maggie pops, ooooh Maggie Maggie pops" to the tube of lollipop

I am stealing get your socks off...

Me too, me too Woohoo I'm not a weirdo

DH and I do this all the time.

Our current fav is the opening lines of Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas, which can fit any situation...

"it's bathy/breakfast/sleepy time, there's no need to be afraid"

Also, the 90's classic of "Girl, I want to make your sweat" or whatever it was called, changed to: "nappy nappy on, a nappy nappy on, get your nap nap on... DS I'm gonna change your bum, so that it don't smell no more, and when it's all clean, you can wee some more-ore-ore...."

Can't believe we ever thought we were the only ones who did this

Another "get your socks off/on" here. To be fair, I had songs for the cats years before I had DD. She's nearly five and knows all the cat songs...

We sing all the time, to everything.

yes, DD and I totally do this! lol, and DD also tells me to be quiet!

It went well thanks honey. Very surreal. I had filed away the great comebacks but didn't need to use them as we were all stifly polite and civil.

I had no wine in the house so I made do with pear cider :o

I used to sing to the dc " just one more carrrrootttt. Eat it for me. I've cooked this great feast for your teaaa. If you eat it you will see, delicious pudding made by me" to the just one cornetto tune.

Last week I sang to the tune of flo ridas boots with the fur song. It went
" I've got you're blue shorts here, shoes with cars and when your dressed we can hit the parrkkk. When we get you can play and you run and just go go go go"

DS was bemused but dd got the song.

Another one was adeles someone like me in answer to DDs I'm hungry pleas. "Somewhere you'll find something to eaaaattt. If you open up the fridge you'll see-ee-eeee. Some fruit or bread or try the cupboard instead. Just dont ask me"

It is so normal in our house to sing that the children join in with our standard ones some of which have been mentioned above like "get your shoes on get your shoes on honey"

For any Friends fans when we weaned ds1 we used to change his stinky nappy to the tune of smelly cat as sung by Phoebe, but we sang "smelly boy, smelly boy what are we feeding you?" We are known to sing it now when he leaves a lovely smell in the bathroom, he is now 9.

I think being raised in a house of musical lovers meant I did believe as a child that you should sing about your life.

In fact I have to stop myself bursting into song when people are talking to me because no doubt there is a relevant song

In a bid to persuade ds to eat his peas we do 'all I am saying is give peas a chance' to John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance!

Charlie I am am glad, I was thinking about you today. I am also taking the Just one more carrot as my own Thankyou

Thumb Dh is be unreasonable, Operas are only suitable for missing toys and grazed limbs to add the proper magnitude to situation. Not for discipline!
Next time may I suggest the gritted teeth version of South Pacific?
I'm going to kick that man, right in his balls

I LOVE that this thread has become a song swap

Loving this thread! I have made up songs for nappy changing and teeth cleaning etc. I also have a going out song for DS, whose name is Leo:

Here we go, here we goooo
I'm your supersonic mum
And you're my Leooooo

I also sing 'There's a poo in your nappy' to the tune of 'There's a hole in my bucket'

Another looneysinger here!!
We also do the 'Smelly Cat' song when DS is being pongy in any way. We also do 'Hands Up' when getting undressed!!
We also sing 'I love you [name] oh yes I really do, I love you [name] I think you're Scooby Doo, I love you [name] Do Be Do Be Do Be Dooooooooo'!!

Doesn't everyone live their lives in song

fizzy we used to sing smelly boy too!

Also 'what's that coming down the stairs, is it a DS, is it a DS...'

Oh yes, we bastardise is a monster terribly too

Yes, I do this. Glad it's not just me! I also have an internal soundtrack playing appropriate and inspirational songs for whatever I am doing at the time.

I recently taught DS "If I were a rich mum. Diddle-iddle-diddle......"

He now goes round asking loudly if I am a rich mum......

Another favourite is "All the stinky babies, all the stinky babies. If you're stinky then we'll have to put new pants on you. If we don't then no girls will ever fancy you."

Stink stink stink
Stink stink stink
Stinky booty stinky booty

Love a little disco with a nappy change!

What's the matter with you
It's a not so bad

Ah, shut uppa your face!

I make up my own tunes and sing them with all the swear words I can think of, only when I'm alone mind! One day will probably slip up and do it in company.

Ahem. When alone

Cunty chops, Cunty Chops, fucking Cunty chops
To Jingle Bells

Is good for relieving per Xmas stress

Pre Xmas feckin auto correct snuck it in.

All right, I'll admit to one that DH rarely heard so I got away with it - I used to sing "nappy time" to MC Hammer's "Hammer time" - got to a point where DS used to join in with the Doo doo dodo bits, which was funny.

IF DH would sing properly I wouldn't feel so stabby about it, but he won't. Everything is either hideous nasal whine (a la Axel Rose) or machine gun "vibrato" which NO ONE EVER sings like (well, not those who get paid for it anyway).
