I sing poorly "Mattinata" or "che gelida manina" ahahah... I feel like I'm truly a singer ...
I don't know if you have seen the film "To Rome with Love" by Allen and Benigni... in the film there is a character who only sings in the shower and sings so well that his son's father-in-law, who is a sort of artistic director, makes him debut in the best theaters, making him sing while he washes... ahahhaha
During the day, it's impossible for me not to whistle or hum something at least once (even when I am sad). To some people it seems strange and they say... : "what are you doing !?!.."
I wonder how they manage not to feel the need... well

I also immediately thought of the Allen film, eheh!
I sing and whistle continuously, especially whistle, every time I can; for me, it would be easier to stop smoking than to stop whistling.
They look askance at me too, or at most with amused surprise... mah...

I usually "use" shower time to make a summary of the tasks to be carried out during the day (I need to write to Tizio, I need to call Caio, I need to check that thing, etc.); I am so distracted that normally I don't even have time to get out of the shower before I've forgotten at least one of the things I have to do (in fact, I was being dishonest: in the shower I think "I need to write to Tizio - but wasn't I supposed to do that yesterday?!! damn...; I need to call Caio - I haven't called him yet, darn!!!" and so on...). I know, you don't care, but I felt like writing it... As for singing or humming, I rarely do it, and if I do, I hum nonsense (especially when I am half-asleep), but I never sing or hum complex musical pieces, which instead constantly populate my head to the point that I happen to "review" in the true sense of the word entire symphonies, without even opening the score (and this, sometimes, I even do in the shower, especially if I had already started doing it perhaps while drinking my huge cup of coffee right after waking up...); all this, however, always without using my voice... This generally causes bystanders to feel that I don't give a damn about what they are saying, and sometimes it really is like that, but in most cases I can't tell if Beethoven (or whoever) has knocked or not, so you are talking about anything and I am reviewing the Ninth, and at some point you say to me «Matteo, are you there?» and I reply «Where?».

It's nice to read about your experiences, I practically either "think" (how one knows) or hum insipid tunes. I read that I am not the only one
But please continue, so I feel better because I notice that I am not "strange"...

Usually alienating little tunes from pop music
