Do you sing along with your music? In the car, at home, wherever. If so, how much?

I'll admit that I do... Any song, anywhere, really. My friends have yet to murder me when I start singing under my breath with a song I enjoy, so I don't think I sound too horrible.

Absolutely.

I can't carry a tune in a bucket, though, so my friends usually make fun of me for it.

Yes, depending on the song and if I feel like singing to it. Usually not too loudly though as my singing voice is pretty bad AND it's cracking abit :/

After I've heard a song for a few times, I start to sing along. If I'm alone, I sing along with, if im with someone, I sing under my breath.

Wusses, when I sing it's usually out loud and not under my breath. But then again, I have a great singing voice.

I don't mind Black's singing. Actually, the only thing that I find irratating is when DSpot tries to sing tenor while he's obviously a base.

Yes. Style points for being irritating or severely off character.

Ever seen a 6'5" danish chick standing on the hood of a car singing 'Rag Doll' at max volume, flanked by two guys on air guitar?

That was FUN

I even got extra-extra bonus points because it was in a church parking lot. I think the current standings are 'me way ahead of everyone else' Who needs a friggin karaoke machine?

When I know the words.. and sometimes when I don't. My sister's yelled at me many times for trying to sing "Maemuki Rocket-Dan" with my own butchered version of the original lyrics.

All the time. ALL the time (even in IRC ). Even if it's not very loud, if I know the words I'm usually singing. It's gotten me embarrassed a few times but I can't help it.

When I'm not home alone, I really have to bite my tongue to keep from busting out in the shower. I just hate it when people do that to me, so I figure I owe the same to them.

Yes. But the music is sixth row at a concert-level loud when I'm doing so, so no one hears me anyway.

Frequently

..and often get told by other folks that I should record an album of my own...

To which I always respond:
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!"

For the record, my music taste is pretty eclectic, so I can and do sing along to a wide range of stuff, and quite frequently I can carry off a fairly accurate imitation of the voice (male and female) of the artist..

All the time. At work, mostly. We've got our overplay set to some cool station, plays lots of nifty shit. It's not unknown for five or six of us to be bopping as we work. I remember once, there were three of us on the drivethrough line swaying and singing in perfect unison. Some custie dude was like "Woah, are y'all a band?" and we looked up and we were all "wuh? Oh, shit!" Good times were had by all.

I sing out loud, rather loud, if the lyrics are in English.

If it's German or Japanese I just hum along to avoid making a bigger ass of myself.

When I'm alone I tend to move around with the beat; it sure as hell as ain't dancing, though.

I generally don't sing, but sometimes I like to hear badly I do and "da-da-da" my way through instrumental stuff (video game music, the Imperial March, that sort of thing). I get a lot of funny looks from people when I do that in my car

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.
