People Who Sing in the Car

A few years ago, I saw this show on VH1 about people who have friends who sing shamelessly along with the music in their cars, whether they have any musical talent at all. These people bring their singing friends on this show, hide a camera in their rear-view mirror, and video them while they are rocking it out in their car. They start off with these people alone in their car. They just sing along with the radio, and occasionally they talk to themselves too. Then they have a segment where they ride along with the annoyed friend and do the singing thing while riding along with the friend in the passenger seat. Somehow the judges on the show decide who is the best (or is it worst?) car music singer-alonger.

The thing is, these people really don't care if anyone hears them sing. They don't care if they can sing well. They just enjoy listening to music and participating in the groovy tunes. It's not an audition, it's just a good time.

And if you're wondering, YEP, I'm a car music singer-alonger. Many times I have been "caught" at a traffic light belting out the tunes. I am in my car, in my world, listening to my radio. If I know the words (or even if I don't) I WILL sing along. Just the other day, I was rockin' out to some Evanescence on the radio. I was stopped at a red light, and I look to my right to see three young dudes laughing and pointing. Did it embarrass me? Did it stop me? Abso-smurfly NOT! I just waved and grinned and kept right on with Call Me When You're Sober.

So if any of you would like to drag me on that show, feel free. I don't think any of the previous "contestants?" have changed their ways. I know I won't.

Now about those people that dance in their car...
