Bathroom singing

Do you sing in the shower?
I do. And I’m proud of that, although I’m not an opera singer (thank God… My mother would kill me…). I wonder, how many people actually sing in the shower? When I was on my way to London, the guide warned us that ‘singing under shower is not allowed in some host-families’. Everybody laughed, but how many people thought ‘aww, come on! Singin’ is cool!’? I thought so, and I really missed my off-key sounds while taking a shower. Last year in a camp in Pasym I sang, so did everyone in house I lived in. And no-one never said ‘SHUT UP!’.
Sometimes you can even get to know somebody by listening to their ‘playlist’ – Ula, a girl I met in Pasym, always sang ‘Ciagle pada’ by Czerwone Gitary – and later we ran together in rain laughing and singing the same song – rain somehow is like shower, isn’t it? But leaving Ula alone, you can tell which music people like, or even what movies they like – how many songs appear in movies only? Musicals are the best example – ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’, ‘Grease’ or Disney movies.
Besides, singing is good for your health. It’s just like a best friend forever to your respiratory system and helps with blood circulation. Moreover, when you sing, you burn calories! YES, really, no jokin’, dude! D’you know why Kate Moss is so slim? Not because she doesn’t eat, not because she exercises four hours a day – it is because she sings in the shower.
So – go, take a shower and sing in peace! (and if you have no idea what to sing, I would like to recommend ‘I feel pretty’ from West Side Story – a brilliant shower-song, my all-time favourite. Self-esteem rises higher than Apollo 13 did.)
