I have three cowbells in mine. What do you have?

The Toilet, I heard today that they all flush in Eb.

The tiles... because they make it so wonderful to sing in. Otherwise there's nothing that's even a little bit musical in there!

there exists a small melotone in my upstairs WC - i hear it playing greensleeves in the midst of the night :S

I don't have a downstairs toilet - clearly I am not posh enough

My parents' next door neighbours once bought me a toilet roll with music notes printed on it! It seemed far too silly to ever use, though, so the musical loo roll resides in the so-called music room (aka room that contains the piano and a music stand and far too much sheet music and a couple of recorders, a rainstick, three ocarinas, my ancient 1/4 size viledin and two flutes) along with the "welcome mat" that has music printed on it!

I often sing in the loo, does that count??

I think it's called a loudhaler or something along those lines - you shout into it. Well, there's one of them.

Like Bev, I sing in the loo so the answer would be me!

Oh..I always thought that was the dog Ratty!

Suddenly Chamber music has a new meaning!

It's enough to drive you potty!!!

Hallelooia!

It gives a whole new lavatarial experience.

Tunes for the Toilet

Delsey, Delsey, give me your answer, do ............sung by the Andrex Sisters

and by John Philip Sousa.............Stars and Wipes

We just have piped music in ours! The Water Music, Trout Quintet, that sort of thing.

An all male Barbershop quartet.

Isn't that a bit crowded?

Just a tadge, yes.

Still, they're very friendly.

Just me from time to time....

We've got a roll of loo paper with notes on too!

oh and there are times the air ~hums~ when someone hasn't opened the window ...

Ratty decides that she should have a recording of the wonderfully uplifting Handel duet, Happy We, in their downstairs loo.

Not really a but very amusing.

Have we had Skip to my Loo?

I agree

I'm having a post birthday "bad taste" mood.

( anyway!!)

Aww. Have a slice of this cake. That will put you in a good taste mood. Also I really cannot think of any Forumite who would appreciate it as a birthday cake and it seems a shame to waste it.

Hey, thanks petrat

I'll take the plunge and have a slice - now........ have I got a nice china bowl to put the cake in on while I put on some Sankey Hymns ?

Isn't there a poem:-
'Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you,
But when the leaves are trembling,
The wind is passing through'

Actually the cold tap on the basin in our dowstairs loo 'sings' (more like howls) sometimes if there is an air lock.

Oh, just remembered the song 'Sally in our Lavvy'

Um...we have a cardboard Dalek in the downstairs toilet which goes "exterminate"

No imagination in the vocabulary, can't it say 'please wash your hands afterwards'?

There's something like that affecting the water system in our downstairs loo after flushing

My mother-in-law had a wooden loo roll holder that looked completely normal, but when you pulled down on the paper to tear off a piece or two, it triggered a music-box type of mechanism and a very pretty tune was played. I hated it, because I was convinced it was alerting the household to what I was doing! (This was when I was the new young girlfriend. If it still worked now, I would play it all the time )

At home, my sons are the most musical thing in any loo or bathroom. I don't sing while I'm in there, but I have heard a variety of songs being sung by them, most recently all the songs from Jesus Christ Superstar, the latest school production.

Goodness - I thought I was the last person in the world to still posses a copy of that particular hymn book.

Sorry - nothing remotely musical or interesting in our downstairs toilet - will have to work on it!

Sorry, red herring, but I have a Sankey too. But I dont have have a Sankey in the toilet . !

Sankey made "sanitary ware" as it was called then - bit pre-war, I think

What she said!

We live in an upstairs flat. So have an upstairs loo, and an upstairs-upstairs one. But no downstairs one.

Yes, when I was a child we had a Sankey loo. I seem to remember the name was printed in grey on the inside back of the bowl. Definitely prewar. You had to go outside to get to it as it was in a tiny building off the back yard.

My copy of the hym book is probably even older!

The most interesting musical thing I found in the downstairs loo today was my ginger and white tom cat sitting on top of the shower rail yowling at the top of his voice. I think it was a love song dedicated to the little black and white female who lives on the farm behind - though he no longer has the where withal.

The most musical thing I have in my downstairs loo is Alpha Male Jazz Cat....although he's not in there permanently of course....although you know these long-haired hippie types, preen, preen, preen.....

Baggle x

Excuse me - I am a girl!

In answer to the original question; er, pp? (Sorry, that was truly dreadful...)

It was wasn't it

pp and pizzicato !

P.S. I have just put my old Hohner Harmonica in there. It used to be my grandfathers.

I suppose it is a B-loos Harmonica ??

That's what she tells people...

Just before last Christmas, while looking for a lacemaking book as a present for someone at work, I discovered a knitting pattern book devoted to unusual loo roll covers. You know the kind of thing - for disguising loo rolls if you're squeamish about these things. I'm not, but the book was irresistible, anyway. I set to work knitting one that featured piano keys. Once I'd finished work I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. (I'm no great knitter so I was really proud that I'd successfully (?) completed it.) Inspiration struck, however, and I acquired one of the musical notes toilet rolls, and clothed it with my fine knitting. After that, it made the ideal Christmas present for my daughter's unfortunate clarinet teacher. Strangely, my daughter disclaimed all responsibility for this gift. I can't think why!!

We have a little doll with a huge crinoline dress that the spare loo roll is hidden under.
She used to have a label reading:

'Don't sit there forlorn and shaken,
When you find the last piece has just been taken,
Lift up my dress, and you will find..
The very thing you have in mind !'

In answer to the original question, our downstairs loo is not always musical. But I can't find words to use that get past the censor!!

For example, I wanted to relate the story of the Peter Sellers sketch in which an Irish Folk Group are playing and he accuses the pianist by saying "To be sure, yer played a ###### note" but all I get is sharp signs (and three more than I need into the bargain!!)

Perhaps it is just as well - I don't really want to offend anybody.
