Do You Sing When You Heard A Familiar Song

I am a love song lover. Sometimes, I can not help but sing with the song on the airwave. Even I am not in tune. lol Do you sing when you heard a familiar song? Or you just hum? Or just ignore it?

responses and comments:



oh yes! always. any song i hear that i familiar to me. i always have this urge of singing it. but there are times when i'm busy (like when im in mylot) that i'm not really affected by the song because i'm trying to keep my train of thoughts in it's right order. [loudhummer14]
I see. It is really hard to sing when you are budy posting at mylot. I experienced that,too. [izathewzia]


It depend on we love or not with song, not depend on familiarity of the songs. If i like the songs i will sing it, but if i dont like song maybe i will not sing altough the song the most popular. [aesopm]
Yes, it is udual to sing the songs we love or like than those that are just popular. [izathewzia]



Yes, izathewzia, I do sing along with familiar songs / songs I like. But only when I'm alone. [Transdisc]
I am getting hint now. lol [izathewzia]


I do sometimes find myself singing, and trying out some harmony. It just depends on my mood. It is not something I plan, it just comes out. LOL [GardenGerty]
Same here. I sing subconciously. As if I am not singing but I actually does. [izathewzia]



I can be in any place, in the streets, on a bus, home.. evreywhere, if I heard a familiar song, and if I know the lyrics, I start to sing it. [xirthum]
You must be a song lover indeed. [izathewzia]


I like to be in my car and just blare the radio and belt out a tune that I know every word to the song... even make up my own lyrics. Self-Esteem by Offspring.. Chorus "When she's saying, oh that she wants only me Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends When she saying, oh that I'm like a disease Then I wonder how much more I can stand Well I guess, I should stick up for myself But I really think it's better this way The more you suffer The more it shows you really care Right? Yeah!" "Late at night, she knocks on my door She's drunk again and, looking to score Now I know, I should say no, but It's kind of hard when she's ready to go I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb I'm just a sucker with no self esteem " turns into "Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends" turns into "And I wonder why she's ******* my friend" "She's drunk again and, looking to score Now I know, I should say no, but It's kind of hard when she's ready to go I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb I'm just a sucker with no self esteem" turns into "**** is drunk and wanting to f**k Now I know, I should say no, but It's kind of hard when she's ready to s**k I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb I'm a mother *****er no self esteem" Vulgar yes, but hey it's me talking about ME... song came out when I was single. So there is a story I have to tell it... sorry for the space... I had a friend named "Gay Eddy". He didn't mind the epithet just to let you know. I had two friends named Eddy and he was the gay one... We're in my BMW convertible (not the Z-4, the 325ic) on a busy road just singing our lights out to this song when we pull up to the stop light. Two of the most georgous girls pull up beside us in a Porsche convertible and start flirting with him and singing the song back (LONG light). Eddy is in the passenger side so he has the best view of them and starts flirting with them and she hands him her number. I asked later Eddy you're gay what do you want her number for? His response almost made me stop the car for fear of wrecking it I was laughing so hard. "Just 'cause I'm gay doesn't mean that girl was HOT!" Singing (although WAY out of tune) is a great way for me to relieve stress. Sing some John Denver (Sunshine on my Shoulders, Grandma's Feather Bed...) or if you are really in a bad mood Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit. Another great story there but this post is long enough already. There's a post a'brewin' ** lyrics on Offspring song copyright the Offspring, I take no credit for their genius ** [zeloguy]
Oh, I know someone like you. Who always sings his favorite song like a national anthem. lol [izathewzia]


Yes, I think I am weird of this but I cannot hold myself on this if I heard my favourite song in the radio station or even in CD I absolutely joined and sing it out loud...... [cherylal]
It is not weird but crazy - like me. lol It is nice singing songs you like singing for it touches your heart. [izathewzia]


yes i do love singing specially when it is my favorite love song and sure i will sing along,,even i am not that good singer as my father always said i have take a breath away.. [annettenasser]
Songs that endears us really makes us sing even we don't have the voice at all. lol We are on the same boat. [izathewzia]


Oh I sing any song that gets stuck in my head. They are not love songs, mostly from movies that I hear or videos on youtube.. [carmelanirel]
Songs that you can easily recall and sometimes which you can relate are the ones that makes you sing. [izathewzia]


I sing and i don't care if i sing off key. I love to sing but sometimes i just hum them too. Music is important to me because they have a way of expressing my thoughts and feelings. They are very good outlets for me. [cdparazo]
I believe on that. I alsolike listening and singing songs as a way of therapy. It releases our emotions and gives us a light feeling. [izathewzia]


Hi dear well i dont sing myself as i dont want to destroy the beauty of song max i do is srtart tapping my fingers or feet with the beat of Music take care [cupid74]
U r welcome and nice to hear from u where were U [cupid74]


Of course I sing along.If I like a song, I do sing along. [sarahruthbeth22]
That is nice thing to do. [izathewzia]


i do. everytime. even if i'm in the streets. ^__^;; wherever i am, if i heard a familiar song, i would sing along especially if its one of my favorite songs. just like last Saturday, i was on my way to the mall when i head a song playing so loudly from a store. i was singing and muttering to myself and i could swear that at least one person saw me and must have thought i'm talking to myself. LOL i couldn't care less. i like the song and i will sing along no matter what. ^__^ [secretbear]
People really loves singing wherever they are. It is a common activity. [izathewzia]


it depends upon the type of the song.it the song has perfect blend of lyrics and rhythm then i automatically start singing that song and continue to do so although the song has got over. [luhar2001]
So you only sing those songs that you like. That is nice. [izathewzia]


i'm right there with ya and i don't care who hear's me although i do tend to hear dog's howling when i do.it's alway's nice to hear some old one's that came out during my high school years during summer vacation then i really belt them out [max1950]
Same here. When I sing, it seemed like to rain.,lol [izathewzia]


I always sing when I hear a familiar song. I am one of the worst singers but I dont care, its just to much fun not to sing. If no one is at home then I will also start dancing to it as well. of course when I listen to my ipod then I really start singing. Of course my kids look at me like I am crazy but I just cant help it. I love to sing so much that I will even sing kid theme songs. My kids have the tv on so day after day I hear them and they just get stuck in my head. [snoopy04]
Include me as worst singers,too. lol But I can't help singing. [izathewzia]


Oh yes we do. But our favorite is do change the words of the songs to fit into our family! [EssentialFamily]
Wow, that is great! [izathewzia]


LOL, I too end up singing when I song that I know comes on. Granted, I don't usually start up intentionally, I just find myself singing! LOL [quiltedblessings]
Same here. We sing without knowing we are actually singing. [izathewzia]


when I'm by myself I will sing really loud songs that I know. When I use to go to work people would laugh at me because I would sing and dance in my car on the way home but it kept me from getting sleepy behind the wheel and its always nice to see someone smile. [mflower2053]
That is real fun! [izathewzia]


I always walk around the house singing to songs I know & in the car, but I don't do it out at the shops though. Might be a different story if I could sing though. I'm pretty self-conscious. Unlike my mother who insists on walking around shops singing if she knows the song playing over the pa. Pretty bad & embarrassing. [twistedangelwings]
Songs give us freedom. But it is understandable that we can not sing all the time. [izathewzia]


If I am not that busy and I have a good mood. I will sing it. Sometimes I will sing when I am cheerful. If not, I will just ignore it. [youless]
Mood has something to do with singing. If we are happy, the more we are encourage to sing. [izathewzia]


yes, i do especially when i love the song but when there are a lot of people around, i don't sing aloud =) [rlynzz]

I love all kinds of songs and I always sing alone when I hear a familiar song. That's one of the reasons why I cna't study with music. I end up singing more than studying..lol [SViswan]
Thanks for the BR and the comment! [SViswan]


yes i still sing to songs to have a great day [dlphnrdr]
It is a good therapy. [izathewzia]


Of course I often do that whenever my familiar and favorite songs are being played. Not saying that I am good in singing or I have sweet and nice voice I just feel relaxed and could release my emotion by doing so especially when there is nobody around and I could sing aloud. [lkbooi]
It is a good relaxation. [izathewzia]


it would depend on the situation what i am on that time. if its on free situation, i mean here not in working place or even in a meeting event, i would follow the song by humming or sing it without voice or even just playing my fingers as like the rhytim which playing on :) so, my point in here, i would like to see how the situation it is. is in a formal situation or informal situation. [plumwish07]
Situations really count. [izathewzia]


Definitely, I do the same even if i am totally off tune and sometimes i even dance a bit to them, even if of course i cant dance either :p but music is such a powerful thing that i cannot resist it [JoMarch]
Singing and dancing is a good habit. [izathewzia]


that is so true, most of the time they just pop up in my head and I cant even control it. I sing hum and shake my head to the song. [bunmi2501]
That is nice to hear. [izathewzia]


Alot of times I catch myself singing with it and I hadn't even realized that I was. I do not hum, I am terrible at that. [Thoroughrob]
You got carried away. :) [izathewzia]


Yes, i sing if i hear a familiar song. Why not? But i lower my voice, so people will not be disturbed by me. Hehe... i dont know, just not confident. [manya_pearl]

I will sing when I hear a song I love, mind you it might be just the chorus, and I will hum the verses, but I love to sing. When we are grocery shopping and here the music I will be singing along with the verses. I cannot sing too loud because I do not want to disturb the other patrons. I do not sing in the house though because it might disturb my husband and when I do for a walk, I will often hum along if there is no one in the area. [suspenseful]

Yup. Same here. I'll definitely sing along. happy If I am with a good friend or my family members, I will definitely sing it loud enough for them to hear. lol If I am alone, I'll sing it too but not as loud as I do feel shy blush [poohgal]

I dun have a nice voice, but still it wun deter me in singing softly to myself if i hear a familiar song which i like.. haha ^_^ BUt i wun hum along with the song because the song will be spoiled by me if i do so and i wun understand what i'm hmming too.. lol [kun2349]
