Listening To A Song

[jsbass]

Everytime I listen to a song, especially a Metallica one, i'm like addicted to singing the backing vocals outloud, since that is what I do in my band. Anyone else do this? (Not in public though of course )

[Lower-Than-Low]

O the heck with it.... On the way to school in the bus I sing along with ALL the vocals, it makes for a good laugh and lots of weird looks.
and I don't even have a band together yet...

[jonathan_matos5]

not necessarily to metalica but i sing harmony to songs on the radio or in the mall/stores and my friends look at me like im some kind of freek. i am also thumb slapping something most of the time too though

Yeah I sing the vocal parts to songs I'm listening to a lot. I also do fingering patterns when I'm walking along or driving, either the left or the right hand. I get odd looks occassionally...

I try different harmonies, but I'm not too great at singing, so it sounds pretty bad.

[pundle69]

I do that when I have my ipod and I'm walking my dog. Some odd looks come by when singing Foxy Lady and the bridge of Welcome to the Jungle when Axl does that 'thing'.

I (try to) sing the lead vocals most of the time, and if there's an instrumental break I'll sing the bass or guitar part. I just don't shut up.

I've got the same issue, once i hear the groove of certain songs i sing about every part, i even drum the basic fills

I sometimes improvise my own drums fills while 'Ber-chika-bow-wow'-ing a improve bassline during a guitar solo when you can only hear the guitar, gotten a few compliments on my thumb-drumming.

We should have a sing-along-off type competiton, a person would post an mp3 or video of themselves singing along to their favourite tunes, and then once enough people have done this, the voting would begin. There would have to be some kind of tournament strucure too it.

Oh yeah just what we need, the bass players answer to air guitard competitions. . .

I "sing" for my friends on the bus, and get weird looks.

And when ever I pick out an upright bass in anything that I'm listening to, I also pretend to play it, no matter how weird it looks.

[davefarrell]

i noticed that i always sing harmonies and i was wondering why i did that because i dont' sing in my band, actually my band doens't have a singer so i don't know where i picked that up lol

+1 for the upright bass, during study hall we get to listen to classical music, so I pretend I'm playing an upright along with it when I have no homework. The teacher doesn't mind either.

[leftyforlife]

i tend to switch betweed singing the lead and the backing *shrugs*
just depends on what band it is, and sometimes what song.

You know your at a sad part in your life when you can vocalise/sing/whistle the guitar solos to every metallica and pantera song off by heart...
