ASSIGNMENT #3
I <3 to sing in the shower
a. Pre-Writing Activity:
The Wikiverse has a little corner set aside explaining the phenomenon of bathroom singing:
This habit was reported (with an attempt of explanations) centuries ago. For example, Ibn Khaldun in Chapter 1 of his Muqaddimah writes:[2]
“Likewise, when those who enjoy a hot bath inhale the air of the bath, so that the heat of the air enters their spirits and makes them hot, they are found to experience joy. It often happens that they start singing, as singing has its origin in gladness.”
b. Prepare a mix of your own bathroom hits. Does the shower weather bring you back to kiddiehood and turn you into a shiny happy person? Does it make you burst into glorious cheeziness and boogie in the shower ala Finn from Glee (please bear with the long clip, I couldn’t find anything shorter)? Or is it a refuge from the cruel world and allow you to mix your tears with the shower water as you sing out your angst (sing it, Juliana)?
Show us how the ‘red hot water dissolves the fear’ and bring us to your fantasy. We want to meet your inner diva/rocker/musical star/cheezewiz, and have front seats to your bathroom concert ;)
