Ain't that the song
we'd sing in the car
drivin' downtown top down
checkin' out the bands on Doheney Avenue
-- Rascal Flatts
I love singing in the car at the top of my lungs. So, Holli has brought up an age old question -- is singing in the car fun and harmless or is it annoying and pathetic??
Option 1, baby, all the way.
I went home this weekend. I had to leave to come to work at 6 a.m. Now, I'm not an earlybird by any means, and would have dozed off without my CDs to which I sang my head off.
Singing in the car is a must. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't do it. You might say you don't, but you know if your favorite song in the whole world (These Dreams by Heart) came on, you'd sing along. Music is the greatest form of expression that there is (at least one of them).
Now, you do have to practice a bit of self control with the singing. First off, you probably don't want to be sitting in a traffic jam on 280 with the windows down screaming "Rag doll, living in a movie". Or maybe you do. I don't know -- just use your common sense.
And, be prepared for the consequences. I had been working here about a month when I ran into a guy that said, "I saw you singing this morning in the deck!" I laughed and said I wasn't surprised. You can't be ashamed if you get caught doing it -- just laugh it off.
My only other advice is to refrain from slapping the steering wheel so much while you're performing your own Divas concert -- that gives you away.
What do you think?

Not everyone has as much restraint as I do, though. Driving (actually more like sitting) through Atlanta traffic the other day on my way home from vacation, I noticed the woman in front of me was doing a lot of gesturing. I figured she was on the phone (with an earpiece) and was just really upset about something. I can sympathize with her passionate hand-talking since it is impossible for me to speak without using my hands. I soon realized that this woman was singing to the top of her lungs and PERFORMING her favorite song. I'm talking hands outstretched through her open windows, head slung back, and she was letting it fly! She even got her car involved...swerving back and forth to the beat of the song. Absolutely hilarious! I thought, either the woman has completely lost her mind, or she's learned to embrace life and make the most out of every moment. I prefer to think it's the latter.
