Singing in the shower?

Australians may want to be happy, but they shouldn’t start singing in the shower. EnergyAustralia, one of the country’s largest electricity suppliers, says singing in the bathroom adds an extra 9.08 minutes to a normal scrub.
Singing, daydreaming, shaving and other ‘non-essential activities’ in the shower are adding to the average family’s power bills and also contributing to global warming, it says.
The shower has become the latest target for energy saving ideas. “You use enough electricity during one minute of showering to run your television for four hours,” said Paul Myors, the company’s energy saving expert. “If the average family cut their daily showers by two minutes they would save just over $100 (£40) a year.”
