The song you're afraid you'll be caught singing aloud→[More:]And be honest because...
There are some Howard Stern song parodies that get stuck in my head. One is actually to that very song to which you linked. They are not songs that I would want to get caught singing.
If you'd heard my voice, you'd understand that I'm afraid to be caught singing anything, by anyone. It was only on a recent thousand mile drive that I first allowed my SO of nine years hear me singing along to the stereo in the car.
Pandora just played somebody's cover of Strangers in the Night. I cannot hear that song without singing the following lyrics, which I learned on the school bus in fourth grade:
Strangers in the night
Exchanging rubbers
This one is too tight
Let's find another
This one is too loose
Won't hold the juice
Ooooooooooooo
When I'm home alone, I sing in falsetto. I'm not sure why, but it makes sense to me at the time. When I was in college, a house-mate hesitantly walked in on me singing, because he thought there was a stranger in the house. After that, I sang more hesitantly. But now I'm married and my wife knows my singing tendencies, I'm falsetto again.
