If you don’t like a song do you still sing along?

My husband heard me singing when he was playing Fleetwood Mac. About an hour later he was looking for something else to play and I said oh great you and your awful music. He said you liked it you were signing along to it. I said it doesn’t mean I like it. I just sing when I hear a song I recognize. This confuses my son all the time too. Do you sing only if you like a song? I sing song all the time even that I hate but are stuck in my head. Photo is an odd decoration they made where my daughter works.

Oh I love Fleetwood Mac. I usually don't sing along unless I like the song. That photo is very unique.

@CarolDM I only like their song Lanslide. Most musical artists I feel the same way about. I love going to the thrift store where she works to see what’s new. I hadn’t been there in 6 weeks as I kept the baby out of the public while she was healing after her surgery. I just got to go back yesterday and bought a onesie for the baby. Today they had a flash sale where books were half off. I got 30 books for 5.36. All for the baby except one for me and one for my oldest daughter.

@shaggin I saw them in concert a few times and like most of the songs. So glad you found some good deals.

@CarolDM that’s very neat! I’ve only been to one concert and didn’t care for it.

@Daddyevil that’s funny about you doing it to annoy pretty. I can say it was and is sooo annoying listening to my mother sing. She sings a lot and is the worlds worst singer. Do you really sing in your sleep?

@shaggin When it's 100F outside, I sing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer just to hear her start telling me it's too hot for that song. Pretty recorded me singing in my sleep, so no matter how much I deny it, there is proof otherwise.

@LadyDuck if they chose a pretty doll and left the arms and legs on it could have been beautiful I agree that this is creepy. Seems I’m the odd one out with signing even when I hate a song.

@LadyDuck my daughter told me when I went back this past week that her coworker made this creepy doll as a Halloween decor. Not that makes more sense. I wonder what they will do with it after.

@shaggin You are right, but this doll is not pretty and only the torso and the head is not nice. It is not odd that you sing also songs that you hate, you go with the music.

@aninditasen maybe your just out of practice. I don’t even play music I do like. I prefer the quiet but if I walk in a store and music is playing I’ll sing along if I know the song even if I don’t like it.

@aninditasen I am a terrible singer so I’m sure all the ones around me wish I didn’t sing. But the point of my post was if you know a song and don’t like it but hear it playing do you still sing along?

That thing with a doll’s head on it is proper creepy! I sing along to anything, even if I don’t like it, or even know the right lyrics. I was going to post you a link to Joe Pasquale singing, I know a song that’ll get on your nerves, but I can’t find one. Instead, here is a link to him anyways as I am sure you’ll find him funny. I do.

@Orson_Kart I can’t listen to the video right now but hopefully I’ll remember to later. The baby just fell asleep in my arms and has had me up since 4am so I definitely do not want to wake her. The doll is creepy but neat I thought. I was actually surprised to see this in the shop for a decoration as it doesn’t seem to fit with the other things I don’t think. Sounds like me I sing to anything as well.

@rebelann my husband sorted through an old shed here. He threw out a whole bucket of insulators I collected years ago. I was upset because I would have preferred to put them out for free. They are worth money and someone could have taken them and sold them. Also the thrift store where my daughter works may have liked to use some of them as decoration in their shop.

@RebeccasFarm that is so funny you will sing a song you don’t like if you are angry. It is creepy but neat. I think I’d have preferred a pretty doll with arms and legs and a body pins like that more.

@RebeccasFarm my daughter told me that a coworker made this button doll decoration as a Halloween decoration. I didn’t put two and two together when I saw they had put other decorations out because this is so very different from all the pretty pumpkin things.

@Kandae11 if I was in control of the radio that is what I would do too. In this case my husband was playing the music. I rarely listen to music. So say you were in a store and heard a song you know but didn’t like would you sing a few notes of the song?

I hardly ever sing to songs, believe it or not, especially considering I am a "musician" of sorts. But I HAVE played songs I did not like necessarily. It is funny to me that often songs I genuinely dislike to the core tend to be the ones that get stuck in my head. lol As for Fleetwood Mac, I could never dislike their stuff. Great band.

@porwest yes it’s almost as if the more I hate a song the more it gets stuck in my head. My son plays mostly songs he likes too. He always asks for suggestions on what to learn next but then won’t do them.

@shaggin Even learning songs you don't like, I find, is sometimes more fulfilling because you are more interested in learning the process than learning the song.

@snowy22315 no one here has agreed with me on doing this so I must be really weird . I was debating on sharing this here or at FaceBook to get the most opinions. I probably would have gotten a lot more on Facebook but wouldn’t heard earned anything from it. My husband bought one of their greatest hits albums on whatever it is he plays music on his phone. I only like one song and have never been a fan of listening to an entire album. I like to jump around to different artists.
