One of my favorite things about driving a lot and being alone in the car is singing along to the songs on the radio (or CD). So when I see a character in a film doing exactly that I really do just love it. Mainly because I can relate to it so much! I have spent quite a lot of time on YouTube trying to find clips, which has proven to be quite difficult! Let’s admit it, gone are the days of singing in the shower . . . it’s all about letting go and singing your heart out in the car. I love seeing other drivers do it as well, especially if you realise you both have the same radio station on. Just brilliant! But don’t forget that singing along in a car can be done as duet or you can get a group singing going along! Funny moments can also happen when just one person decides to go for it and sing!
Although a great one and possibly one of the best to start off with. Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire . . . now if you don’t act like this when a song you love comes on the radio, don’t forget the changing radio station to find a good song, then you must be boring whilst driving! Over to Tom . . .
One of my most favorite actresses also get in on the act. Firstly Catherine Zeta Jones rocking out to “I’m a bitch, I’m a lover” – totally going for it very much like Tom. You can actually imagine her doing this, but let’s face it she has a fantastic singing voice. (1:22-1:45)
While I personally think singing in the car alone is great. You can always have a sing-along as well, as the very creepy family in Step Brothers shows us:
Or you can have quite a romantic or not romantic singing with your boyfriend/girlfriend as shown in ‘The Last Song’ by Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. I wonder if they really do that when in the car together?
Be careful though having a romantic sing-song may go terribly wrong and make you doubt your partner as shown in Heartbreak Kid:
You may also get a small child having a right go at singing along to the song that is on, as shown in Rush Hour!
Annette Bening showing how a woman gets out some of her aggression in American Beauty. Plus the song totally expresses how she feels.
The very famous Wayne’s World – Bohemian Rhapsody scene! You cannot help but to love this, I’ve never actually seen this film before . . . yet seen this scene so many times.
Do you have any to add?
Definitely the Wayne’s World scene. I can’t listen to Bohemian Rhapsody now without head banging in the appropriate places.
