Shower songs

Posted: 1/9/06 at 5:36pm

What songs do you find that you are always singing in the shower, Broadway or otherwise? I find that a lot of Spelling Bee's songs lend themselves to shower singing (Woe is Me, My Friend the Dictionary, I speak six languages). Also Come to Your Senses from tick, tick... BOOM! and I Can Do Better Than That from L5Y. Let's hear your shower songs!

Well, I tried to shake my ass like Britney Spears did in her Dream Within A Dream Tour during Oops I Did It Again yesterday. I totally envy her for her ass.

True story.

Hairspray and A Chorus Line are always playing while I'm in the shower. The acoustics are great :) And Parks: who doesn't envy Britney's pre-baby ass?

Jimm, you're so bound to get a PM from me after that post!!!

How could I forget "Shall I Tell You What I Think Of You" (the whole version though with Donna Murphy's voice in my head), thanks for the reminder Isabella, you're my fellow Donna Murphy idol. This song is sooo great for the shower. I also sing I Read sometimes, but only Fosca's part, I even do the dialogue (I know, I'm too gay to function).
"The Worst Pies in London" and "A Little Priest" are fun to sing in the shower too.
