I sang it so many times in my youth and childhood that I honestly cannot remember whether I sang it in the shower or not!
I was the Sacrament chorister for five years one of the places I attended when my children were young. That song has always been a staple of the Mormon diet.
Oh Amyjo, stay as wonderful as you are! In my BYU stake, young MEN were counseled to sing that hymn in the shower to prevent doing what most guys do there (hey, Boner, you're using up all the hot water!) I think ekimsim's Give Said the Little Stream was a parody on this! The Uncouth Boner.
Well now that explains everything you didn't say in the OP. And now I see why you didn't. I'll never see that song in quite the same light again after hearing the reason why.
For years n years that old Jackson Brown song 'Rosie' was a favourite of mine. I'd sing along in the car with gusto. It was only recently I realised what it was referring to:/ I can never sing it again.
No, but I sang "Baby I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney in the temple shower room at full volume. We were doing baptisms for the dead and that happened to be my favorite song at the time. The temple matrons had to rush in and tell me to shut up because everyone throughout the temple could hear me. I never did baptisms for the dead again.
You are correct. I was lying in bed last night thinking of things I needed to do today, and then it hit me "Oh shit!" I screwed up the title of that song on RFM. Thanks for the correction. (Songfacts) Recently Paul said the song was originally going to be "Baby I'm amazed" but he changed it because he didn't want to sound so self assured.:)
One of the most erotic songs I can think of sans shower and church hymns is this one: Ravel's Bolero. Here is a Coca Cola animation classic with the song as the backdrop... Allegro non Troppo - Ravel Bolero Coke
Never sang it in the shower. To me, it was a sort of bond-the-collective-together type of song, so a group effort worked best. I was partial to "Shall the Youth of Zion Falter" for solo shower performances.
Generally shower time involved a lot of yelling and guilt. Yelling between my many many many siblings--"Your time is up!" "Stop hogging all the hot water!" Guilt that I had used all the hot water, guilt that by taking a whole 12 mins to shower meant that my sister would be late for seminary, and guilt that I would have to cut my own scripture study by 2 mins.
