Soapy Songs...
Tonight I am looking forward to Get It On listeners revealing a bit more about themselves, and in particular their bathing habits.
Maybe just not quite as revealing as I have been in the photo above. I decided to use the carefully cropped version and will maybe save the full length shot for the Get It On charity calendar. That would certainly liven up Children In Need next year!
Tonight's theme is 'songs that you sing in the shower', so get on the blog and share the secrets of your morning ablutions.
For me, stepping into the shower room is like stepping in Mr Benn's changing room. Soon as the water goes on, I turn into Michael Buble, with soap in one hand and pretend microphone in the other.
It's a proven fact that you do sound better in the bathroom. Seemingly it's all to do with the multiple reverberation off the tiles. It's all to do with resonant cavities and fundamental frequencies seemingly. There's a full explanation .
The legendary producer, Joe Meek used to use his bathroom as an echo chamber and Paul Simon loved the sound of his toilet so much he used to go there to writes, so maybe something from them would be good for tonight.
Not only does singing in the shower get your day off to a great start, it can help save the planet. Last year, Australians were urged to sing in order to conserve water. One of the recommended tracks was The White Stripes' Fell In Love With A Girl which comes in a 1m 50. They might have good taste in music, but at less that two minutes for a shower there's going to be a lot of half washed Australians out there!
