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?

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 favourite of the day from some great competition is ....

"All I am saying is give peas a chance !" from Mrs KR

Grin genius

MrsKeithRichards · 07/08/2012 08:55

Poor wee mite doesn't get it, he just looks all serious and goes 'ok mummy, I'llgive peas a chance'

ThePigOnTheWall · 07/08/2012 09:03

Yep, another singer here.

My self-penned "need a wee" song is a perennial hit in this house

JugglingWithFiveRings · 07/08/2012 09:04

HaHa - very funny Smile LOL

JugglingWithFiveRings · 07/08/2012 09:06

(that was for MrsKR's poor wee mite BTW)

DD (7) used to do this a lot but she has given up of late Sad

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 09:07

This has got to be one of my favourite OPs of all time. Grin

I often sing songs but more often than not do the dishes like I am in a serious drama. I often stop doing the laundry to look out of the window in a stylish albeit moody fashion like Sarah Lund.

I do also talk to myself, it is a running monologue of what I am doing, usually in an American accent. I am like a Baltimore gangster if I drop some pasta 'god damn you motherfucker fusilli bastard pieces of shit'

I think this is perfectly normal. DD does it as well (slightly less swearing).

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 07/08/2012 09:09

Supper, supper, supper time! Supper time, baby! (to Summer time or summat!)

About 2 and half years ago DD (7) needed a speech therapist assessment (in French) for a school application. At the end of the assessment the speech therapist asked her to sing a little song. She sang her own little made up musical thingy.

The Parisian speech therapist was Shock Hmm

RockySpeed · 07/08/2012 09:13

At work I used to sing to the tune of hot stuff

"if you wanna a hot lunch sit on the carpet, if you gotta packed lunch stand at the door"

Complete with suitable moves, used to make me laugh a lot...

BellaOfTheBalls · 07/08/2012 09:14

MrsKeithRichards that made me snort tea out of my nose

I am so pleased to know this is not just me. DH thought my family were utterly mad.

My best friend who is tone deaf came on holiday with me, my mum, stepdad and sister once. One particularly musical day said with utter bewilderment "it's like living with The Von Trapp Family". She couldn't understand why we were so delighted with this comment.

I genuinely can find a show tune for every little thing I do. Grin

Said like I am a drug dealer in the Wire.

Flobbadobs · 07/08/2012 09:27

"sausage for tea, we're having sausage for tea" in the style of Brotherhood of Man... The DC's don't even role their eyes at me anymore..

AbsolutelyNotHoneyDragon · 07/08/2012 09:29

Yes, Getorf but it wouldnt all copy and paste on my phone, on account of the choking. I am a creature of limitations. Grin

'her name is DD,

It bloody stinks

rainydaysarebad · 07/08/2012 10:12

I use ABBA's Money Money Money tune for singing about everything. This morning it was:

My baby is so funn-nyy
He's so funn-nnyy
Gonna change his bum!

My baby wants his milk-ky
Wants his milk-ky
Yummy yummy yum!

WelshMaenad · 07/08/2012 10:16

You are not alone. I gave just followed the grumpier of my two kittens around the house trilling "Emily, Emi-leeeeeee, don't you want to cuddle meeeeeee?" to a tune I can't reliably identify.

WelshMaenad · 07/08/2012 10:20

Also, re: new kittens: "Charlie and Emily live together in perfect harmony, except for Dharma? who can be quite mardy, oh why is sheeeee?"

? my other cat, she's a right grumpy bitch,

CMOTDibbler · 07/08/2012 10:21

DS reminded me this morning of 'happy, happy, happy, happy pant, paaants with no weee or poooo, if you've got happy pants, if you've got happy pants, muuummmy and dadddy are hap, hap, happy too' - as in South Pacific.

And the Sympathy for the Devil stylee 'Pooo Pooo, Pooo, Pooo' song.

WilsonFrickett · 07/08/2012 10:44

Sausage for tea, we're having sausage for tea

We also have a winner ^^ pure genius Torch

Maenad - Maybe Mardy Cat is like Tethers and thinks she is a spy. She is upset as she is is in the wrong show.

When dd1 is being particularly grumpy I like to say "Ooh, we should've called you Lisa," followed by a rendition of Mona Lisa (Moaner Lisa - geddit?!).

Never fails to raise a scowl Grin.
