Unintended singing

[Silver]

I was just listening to some old school Guns N Roses which reminded me of a time at school...

The GCSE Art exam was 10 hours long (split over two days) and we were allowed to listen to personal stereos (no, iPods hadn't been bloody invented). Midway through the first day I was getting into the music when suddenly the people around me burst out laughing. It then dawned on me that singing "in my head" had probably transgressed to "singing aloud".

"Double talking jive mutherfucker, 'cos I got no more patience" is probably not what you'd expect to hear in a silent art room. The teacher politely asked me to keep the singing to myself...

There is no actual point to this thread, the music reminded me and I felt like sharing. Feel free to add your own stories. Or not. I will live either way you know.

Oh, and let me be the first to beat the rush and say...

When I first went solo in a glider I was up in the air, then suddenly realised I was singing fly me to the moon!

I used to have to walk home from the train station a good 1.5 miles. The Rover plant had been closed down and derelict for some time, so there was fuck all to look at except passing traffic and abandoned buildings, so what better way to pass the time than to have a good old sing song.

I'd belt out Metallica songs in my best Hetfield impression, all the way home. One day my ex asked me if I ever sang to myself whilst walking home. A little cautious as to why she asked this question, I said errr yeah maybe sometimes.

Turns out one of her sisters friends daughter had been walking behind me the whole way with her boyfriend one day, listening to the lot, she thought I might be a bit mental, and asked her mom if there was anything wrong with me.

I thought this was a thread about those 5000 people that started spontaniously singing in America somewhere causing the mall they were in to shake and it had to be evacuated yesterday.

Everytime I think about personal stereo's I think back to the time, when my younger, shy brother and me were sitting on the bus, and he suddenly burst out singing (in a strangled cat style voice) "oo oo oooo EYE OF TIGER, FRILL OF THE FIGHT, HUH HUH EYE OF THE TIGER, ERRrrr...FRILL OF THE FIGHT...."

Classic...I was in stitches, it seriously made me cry... he was mortified, absolutely mortified...he went bright red, and was cross with me for laughing....

I remember once on my nsr on the way to college I was listening to soilwork in my helmet. I was singing along quite loudly even and was enjoying myself. Thing was I didn't notice the group of ten people at the traffic lights I'd stopped at , they were giving me some funny looks

singing to CKY why at traffic lights is a bad idea.

When passing pedestrians/other bikes that have filtered up hear you but dont hear the bassline and guitar riffs you tend to look like a nutter.

'theyve deleted all the tourists at the bottom of the lake'
'you what mate?'

Then again, people see me on my bike and assume im a nutter anyways, especially in this weather, doesnt bother me

Cheers

I do it alot at work, I'll walk past the TV's that have the music channel on and start quietly singing songs. When I get to the front of the shop you can't hear the TV's anymore, just me singing Rihanna quite loud.

Its one of the main reasons I do not have an iPod.
I would be dancing (or conducting) dementedly all the time.

I have no idea how people on the Tube/bus/train can sit still.
