    Last week any time I set the students work in school last week I was singing under my breath. I had to stop myself singing out loud! I had a song stuck in my head...'no need to run, and hide, its a wonderful wonderful life!'

    i dont sing sometimes if i am thinking about a movie or tv show or soundtrack i will hum and not notice im doing it.

    What? Who the hell goes around humming the theme tune to The Bill?

    I'm trying to hum the Coronation Street theme and I can't do it without bursting out laughing. That's ridiculous.

    Kind of the same thing.

    A few years ago I worked in a newsagent in a fairly busy Dublin shopping centre. The layout of the shop was strange, the checkout was facing into the shop so to get into it you had to walk past the checkout. There was a cd player at the desk which came in handy.

    Anyway, there was noone in the shop so I turned up the cd player, started singing along and began practicing some sweet air guitar moves. I was in my own world untill the song ended. Still no one in the shop, I turned around and out in the corridor a group of 5 or 6 people had stopped to laugh at me.

    Christ that was embarrassing :D

    I was always singing "which side are you on" by FLorence Reece.
    The bosses hated it.


    I also loved irish folk songs and some african chant songs which made the managaers despise me as they thoguht there was something unhinged and eiree about me singing seeming nonsense to myself at midnight while stacking shelves alone.


    It made the management think I was unhinged or a satanist or something.

    workin in a seriously loud factory, ye can roar singin and feck all people can hear ye anyway, everyone there roars and sings/shouts, we all wear ear-protectors. one particular welder does donkey impressions all day long at the top of his voice, ye can see the veins sticking out of his throat hes goin at it that hard.! it gets rid of some of the frustration! quite funny sometimes seeing mouths move and knowing people are roaring but not hearing anything!
