Poll: Do YOU sing while driving?

[Calibanbutcher]

Usually I sing along to Johnny Cash and the likes. And I am told that my voice is quite good.
Full and deep, between baritone and bass with a slight hint of raspiness, if I choose so.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Wasn't too sure of the choices for the poll, but if I song that I enjoy comes up on my radio/iPod, I will sing along to it.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

For those of you who drive, with or without someone in the car, do you sing along to your music? Or do you just sing without music? And, as a third question, can you actually sing?

I love to sing in the car - and elsewhere.

Also, I was in a musical sorority in college. We did group songs and solos - we had voice training. So yes, I can sing "like a bird" - or, more importantly, like a trained singer.

 

[MrMisfit]

Pretty much all the time.

 

[Brixton6]

Heck yes. That's just about the only time I'm able to sing (if I'm driving alone) because I'm such a horrible singer and I'm embarrassed for anyone else to hear me. Although I'm told I'm actually quite a good singer, so I guess I'm one of those people who say I'm really bad so I can get the attention of people saying I'm not.

I sing in the car all the time.

Often to stay awake and often to keep myself entertained.

Went to Karaoke while I was in Korea often. Turns out singing in front of people is pretty fun.

Now I sing in car to improve myself because it can get exhausting.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

My friend just burned me a CD with songs from My Little Pony. Guess who's been driving his car around for the past two weeks singing "Winter Wrap Up" and "Art of the Dress"?

I like to think I sing well. I was in choir and the music teachers said I was good. No idea if I actually am though.

 

[Zantos]

I have been known to sing along, though I tend to only listen to music when on the motorway. It calms me down in a "Allows some blood to enter my fingers" sort of way. God I hate motorways.

Guess who's in the same boat you are? Well, except I burned my own CD(s), but the point still stands.

I don't think I'm that bad at singing, and I've been complimented on more than one occasion, but I'm not about to go around posting covers on Youtube or anything. I've also been pretty good at memorizing lyrics.

 

[Vern5]

If I know the lyrics and its within my vocal range, then I WILL be singing. I don't care if there are passengers.

 

[GTwander]

My cousin (who is also a well-established musician) and I both agree that driving is the best place to practice there is. Usually nobody to embarrass yourself in front of, and you can easily match tonality to whatever is playing on the radio (or CD) at the time.

I work a delivery job, so if I'm not at a dropoff handling bidness, I'm driving to the next one and mimicking whatever plays on the radio. It's helped me develop a spot-on delivery of many hard-to-copy singers through practice, and now I destroy karaoke night on bands such as Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. Can hit things perfectly and have it resonate through the entire bar, sans mic. I rule now.

 

[Slayer_2]

I rarely do, and I'm terrible at it when it happens, so for everyone's sake, I never do it unless I'm alone.

 

[robotam]

When I'm alone. I would never want to inflict on someone, the pain of listening to me do it. But when it's just me, the road and Reel Big Fish, I'm in heaven.

 

[the darknees abyss]

I like to sing on my own as I know I can't sing and it would deafen people around me

[magter3001]

Yes, but only if i'm alone in the car. Don't want to ruin a good song for someone.

 

[Bvenged]

Well, I only really sing when I'm by myself. I know I can't sing, but it's not that bad, just not particularly worth hearing.

In the car, I sing all the time to music when I'm driving. If it's queen and everybody else start singing I'll join in, but that's about as far as I'll go for group singing. Foo fighters or such and I'll only sing by myself, and only ever sing to music, not from my head.

 

[MrFalconfly]

Sing, drum on the wheel, you name it.

And because I for 7 years was "forced" to go to amateur theater, my mom made sure I at least could sing without it bleeding out of the listeners ears(and with her perfectionist streak the quality check probably went a bit further).

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I sing. The quality of my singing is pretty awful. Then again, who says anyone hears my singing in my car?

If you sing in the car, and noone is around to hear you, do you make a sound...?

OT: Yes I sing! I sing loud and proud, and I stare out anyone who looks at me funny in the process!

I also used to sing in a band... so I can effectively sing punk! I am not the best... and I can't sing anything challenging, but I can hit most of the right notes!

I sing anything that sounds like it could be an anthem! Lately stuff I have uncontrollably sung along to was: Flock of Seagulls - I Ran, The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love With Someone You Shouldn't've, The Not Sensibles - I'm in Love With Margret Thatcher and Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (The original version, with Del Tha Funkee Homosapien rapping)
