I wonder if there's a singing Tourettes that's specific to a certain band. Let's say someone has a 'Journey Tourettes' and whenever they have a tic they start singing, "Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world. She took the midnight train goin anywhere..."
If you read my blog this week, you know we are currently fighting some nasty flu bug. Well, by we, I mean the rest of the inhabitants of the home, excluding myself. Either I have the world’s best immune system or are just lucky, the actual reason remains to be seen.
However, as I cared for three sicko’s yesterday (and I mean sicko’s in the most nice, loving way) I found myself humming Survivor’s ‘Eye of the Tiger’.
Sure, I probably have the world’s most severe case of singing tourettes in the world, but why this song? Why this week?
The boss here is constantly singing whenever he's in, thing is he only sings one line of each song OVER AND OVER but changes the words EACH TIME. I think he has some sort of singing tourettes. So anyway the only way I can handle it is by writing down what he's singing. I posted it to some thread about a year ago, but it's grown since then so here it is again. THIS GUY IS THE MOST IRRITATING MAN I HAVE EVER MET.
When I meet like-minded strangers to give them a sense of my general quirkiness {okay, okay, weirdness}, I often reveal a few bizarre tidbits about myself.
One, I have self-diagnosed my case of ‘singing tourettes’. {Meaning I often can not contain myself belting out lyrics.} Two, I have a rare and special gift for dramatic interpretation of song. {It is best explained by seeing this talent in action.} And three, for years I believed that my sister and I snow skied with Rob and Chad Lowe. {I know. I know. It would have been really cool if it had actually happened.}

Libra,loud,like to make fun of myself and I'm always right...most of the time. I have a tendancy to sing loudly off key at any moment...I think its singing tourettes. I tell really bad jokes but I'll laugh at them coz I probly fine them funny! I like everyone:) ...especially you.And I LOVE Interpol,woop woop!!Remember dance like you own it
I have a bizarre form of Tourette syndrome; Singing Tourettes. Songs, commercials, sitcoms, cartoons...the good ones just pop out of my mouth. ...WELL, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire. I have no control. It just comes out. In the office. At lunch. While shtuping the slut of the month.
A fun place to get a case of singing Tourettes is the grocery store. Especially in a crowd of vegetable shoppers...Volare, oh oh, E contare, oh oh oh oh. God forbid I catch a Pete's Smoked Meat commercial on the radio on the morning drive. I'll easily say you can't beat Pete's meat 50 times that day. With Gilligan...the Skipper too. Luckily, I've rarely remembered more than the first paragraph to anything so...I shot the Sheriff, but I did not shoot the Deputy...

yeah man! So good i watched it twice! I loved how Seb made his lips tremble as if he was dying to sing along. It was like watching a form of singing tourettes.
I'm voting for Laura at the end - she reminds me of one of my friends' wife.

Hehehe...I'm so glad that my singing tourettes has been passed on to more than my children! :D Love, Jimmy Dean
I am that guy. you know the one. With singing tourettes. Just random songs random voice parts. It's quite annoying. I usually when singing depending on the genre follow a certain pattern. If it's operatic, or your more early choral music..you can assume that I am taking the soprano one part. I can get up to and E and still have it have a warm tone. Above that it's very harsh. When we get above C6 then it's just hitting the note and trying not to be flat. Yeah. I know I am ridiculous.

Noisy eaters, especially as they tend to be the sort of people who come ands sit or stand next to you while they eat!
Also people who keep putting on accents or silly voices.
But No.1 on my list is people with 'singing tourettes' who sing along to every bit of music or jingle they hear and don't realise they are doing it!
My own most annoying habit is not finishing sentences when I'm
Anyway, I just want to say thank you for being the best travel buddy. For being so naturally easy going and someone with such interesting stories and experiences. For being such a great support if I ever was in need of a hug or simply someone to talk to. I am also thankful we both share a suffering of singing tourettes – it enables me to feel more comfortable about my Kelly Clarkson obsession.
The 80s were filled with so many great theme tunes. Knight Rider, The A Team, Airwolf, Around The World With Willy Fog, Grange Hill, Blind Date, Bullseye… and you could sing them all. (With the exception of Grange Hill; if you were to try to sing that to someone, you’d sound like you were having a bout of singing-tourettes.) Any of you could name an 80s programme and I guarantee I could sing the theme tune to it.
A wiz at crazy facial expressions, suffers from singing tourettes, and loves super uncomfortable shoes. Found a new love in multifamily housing and marketing!
I've discovered that I have a rare form of Tourettes - Singing Tourettes.
The truth has finally dawned upon me after Mrs Rine summoned up the courage to confront me with it yesterday.
It's true. I burst into unexpected song the minute I hear someone utter key words which link to a distant part of my musical Cerebral Cortex and without really knowing it, I'm suddenly the Go-to Go Compare man of Norfolk.
Only last week when my friend was kissing a guy in the front garden did I start singing the Tenacious D song who’s title ends in the word ‘gently’, at them. Even managing to change the lyrics to her name (which I was quite impressed with!). So now, not only does her new boyfriend think I’m weird, but also that I have some sort of singing tourettes.

Love this post. My wife says I have singing tourettes. I break into song at completely random moments. Of course, I can't sing, and the words are often way off, but it seems I can't help myself.
Erratic Genius with singing Tourettes, idiot savant, tomfooler, jungleur, performer, drama queen, layabout, idler aka. the great procrastinator aka monkey boy, aka jou laarnie!

Until recently I didn't see the fascination with Teddy Bears, I used to call them "dust traps". Even as a little girl I didn't have a favourite; dolls had personalities, bears had fur. I used to walk past Build A Bear and think what a nightmare! Cheesy staff dressed in the ugliest uniforms I have ever seen ( pale blue baggy shirts TUCKED INTO tight beige chinos, and they all had ample arses) periodically burst into song as though they had involuntary singing tourettes. Wild- eyed children ran around, seemingly without any form of supervision and I walked on by, shuddering.
Well if I haven't made it clear music is my world. My relationship with music starts when I was in my mom's womb, she put headphones on her stomach and let me hear music. Ever since she told me that story I believe that's where my addiction to music comes from. I eat, breathe, sleep and love music.
...
My friends also tell me I have singing tourettes because at any random time I'll bust out with a song, loudly. Lol I can't help it, its like my mind is on shuffle and I have to sing what ever is on my mind.
I’ve been teaching myself guitar over the past couple of months, just so I’d have something to accompany my self-absorbed bouts of singing Tourettes. I’m still terrible, but I managed to eke out something that vaguely resembles music today.
Singing was my first love. I got my first microphone at age five and it’s always what I wanted to do. It’s a gift and I’m very blessed. I have what I like to call, “singing tourettes”. I just kind of bust out into song whenever I feel the need. It refreshes my soul.
Being Nylon, the best magazine in the world, there was an article about Florence and the machine and it was really interesting. Florence claims that she had 'Singing Tourettes' in school as she wouldn't be able to stop singing and would always get told off for it. She also revealed that her first success was when she was drunk in a nightclub's toilets and someone overheard her and booked her for a party.
I did smile on my way back to the car, I have a condition when I’m running/walking with my music in my ears that can only be described as singing tourettes, every now and again I’ll randomly sing out loud a line from the song I’m listening too, I don’t sing the entire song mostly because I’m trying to breathe, anyway I was almost back at the car and an old chappy looked at me and said, “Where you singing then?”, I smiled and said yes, and he replied, “You scared my dogs”, I thought he was joking, but he wasn’t smiling! I walked on smiling, it’s not my fault his dogs are cowards, my Alfie wouldn’t have been afraid. ;D

As for the whole theme music thing. I have what I call "singing tourettes" so like I sing compulsively all the time, depending on a word someone might say, a sound I hear, etc. Usually, it helps with whatever I'm doing atm

Popps, i'm not particularly goth, maybe occasionally accused of emoism and I do watch The Vampire Diaries, True Blood etc and I love Aiden, I adore watching him and have decided he has singing tourettes! His Mad World was fantastic but the best Mad World ever was sung by Adam Lambert.
3 - One of our PA's sits across from me, though the divider obstructs my vision of him. This makes the fact that HE HAS SPONTANEOUS SINGING TOURETTES FITS throughout the day all the more entertaining to me. I can't actually SEE him, I can just randomly hear his Christina Aguilera-like vocal stylings from time to time. That, coupled with the fact that he insists on being referred to as "Daddy" by the rest of us keeps me in stitches all day every day (did I mention that he's white, Jewish and a few inches shorter than I am?)
"my life's been like a chorus of 'shut-ups'," says the 22-year old singer, "i has singing tourettes, getting told off at school and 'round the house. i have such a bad visual memory, but the way i remember things is through music...i can hear a song once and then just sing it back. it wasn't a conscious thing to suddenly decide to be a singer..."
