I love to bathe, especially with my Jacuzzi tub. The tub was a big investment when we bought the house and had to have the horrible 70's bathroom redone. I strongly recommend avoiding velvet wallpaper in your bathroom, if it's an option.
I have an open door policy when it comes to my baths. Reason is, the pets love to visit me while I'm in the tub. DMC also visits while I bathe. I like to sing in the tub too. The open door policy forces me to come up with some interesting tunes to pass the time. Here are some of them:
For Kodi, my cat, I sing "Kodilicious" to the tune of "Fergilicious". I used to sing "Kodilicious" to "Bootylicious" but, you have to keep up with the times. Kodi HATES the "Fergilicious" version. He's somewhat of a bastard. Beats up the dogs. He gives me dirty looks when I sing his new song.
Buster, also a cat, gets "Buster of Puppets" sung to the tune of "Master of Puppets". He seems to like it. He's sort of a....."pussy" pussy (if you catch my drift) and I think the metal makes him feel tough.
Owen Beckham is a Beagle and I sing him a tune to "Frere Jacques". He's a World Cup 2002 baby and I love England. Thus, he gets the name. I can't explain the song.
Abbie gets some song about a girl named Gina, but I change the name to Abbie. It may be Nat King Cole or Johnny Mathis. She doesn't care for it and doesn't hang out long if I sing it.
Casper, a white Persian, recently completely shaved, gets Der Kommisar. Because I imagine Casper was meant to be spelled with a K.
Sheba, aka "Fatone" or, Fat One. She doesn't ever visit so she doesn't get a song. If she did, it would have to be N'Sync.
DMC gets "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" most often.
If I'm having a very good day, I just roll through them all and start singing an old college favorite.....
"Kodi is my friend, oh Kodi is my friend. Wherever I go, Kodi goes, Kodi is my friend."
"Buster is my friend, oh Buster is my friend. Wherever I go, Buster goes, Buster is my friend."
And so on.
I've tried to add a version of 50 Cent "In Da Club" (called "In Da Tub" - which is probably already on Sesame Street) but I only know the chorus so it hasn't gone well.

I too sing to the cats or to Ben. Marty gets "Little marty...he's a smarty..." to the tune of "Little Darlin'" Ben gets to the tune of "Tiny Bubbles" Tiny benny...in Bg....makes me feel happy....makes me feel fine....What can I say, I am a giant dork.
That's funny. School's wrapping up here..thank God! I used to have all kinds of songs for my dog when I was little. Of course, her name was Sandy so I could use that song "Dumb Dog" from Annie (the movie not the Broadway soundtrack). Now I just sing to Christine all day.
I love to make up little songs! B thinks I'm strange. Oftentimes I sing to Ali McGraw. Like, "Ali, you are the coolest cat, and you're little, and you yell so much, sometimes I want to kick you, but I don't, because you're my cat." Other times I sing in celebration of things like delicious beer or ice cream or mail - whatever.
