i quit singing about six years ago when i didn't even sound good in the shower anymore. Who told you? The soap? I find the friggin soap to always be so damn critical. Always telling me I am less than I really am. So you know what I do? I take a deliberately prolonged time to wash my butt. That usually shuts him up. Soap hates butts. And then I can sing to my heart's content. This morning I was singing that Italian Opera song that I don't know the words to. It goes something like this: "Fayleek you lo, fayleek you lee, fayleek you lo, fayleek you LAAAHHHH! <crishendo> La da da de da da fayleek you lo fayleek you LAAAAH!" Maybe you know it. I'm sure I must have learned it listening to a pasta commercial. Either that or it was a Buggs Bunny episode where he imitated this song. Certainly didn't learn it by spending time at Lincoln Center or other opera houses. The other opera song I sing is "Oh Solo Mio", which also happens to be the only three words I know of that song too. The rest of it consists of made up words that sound as if they could be Italian. (Just add a vowel to what ever sound comes out.) Anyhow, just remember that trick about the soap. After a while it will know not to criticize you and as an added bonus your butt will be cleaner than it's ever been. -MrShineyHineyTheBathroomOperaSinger
