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!


"This table, he is over one hundred years old. If I could, I would take an old gramophone needle and run it along the surface of the wood. To hear the music of the voices. All that was said." - Doug Wright, I Am My Own Wife

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?

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

If I am not alone in the shower we do "Nowadays" and work our way to the "Hot Honey Rag" ... note there are no words in the "Hot Honey Rag", just sounds...

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.
