Yes, I tap my foot. Usually my left. Sometimes I tap a pencil against the table to catch the rhythms...

I'm a major in music so I'm taking a class in music theory. Part of it is learning rhythms, so that's partly why I tap the pencil.

Tap my foot (left), bob my head, tap my fingers against the table or whatever is handy. If it's really good I even throw in a little sway from side to side. Might even see me slap my thigh. Usually while driving.

If I hear a really good one, I may get pulled over someday...Lady, can you walk a straight line?

If you can tap a foot fast enough to what I often listen to then you're a very gifted individual (or A-DD, abusing your diet pills, sucking down too much Starbucks or, or, or) so I'd have to say 'bop about' with the added condition of attempting to emulate the lead vocalist... sometimes it's a great aerobic workout!

I sing and play the fake drums. My air freshener in my car has taken so much abuse because of this.

Cheering you all on!
Depends on the song, the beat, the melody, the lyrics, how well I know it.

Chair dancing. Totally.

All the people who stare at me at stop lights or on the bus are just jealous. :D

Yep. That's what I keep telling myself. They just wish they had my moves. :)

I bob my head up and down. A bloke I used to know, down my local pub at the time, told me I looked like one of those nodding dogs in the back of someone's car. :D
I also sing along to all of my tunes; I know thousands of songs all the way through, whole albums in fact.

I sing along... it doesn't make me very popular if I'm with someone else, because my voice =/= tuneful. :rolleyes:

WARNING! Don't try to do all these at once, like I just did. Trips happen, eggplants explode*, carpets suffer; it's all bad, people.

*from the bopping and the falling and the squashing, not the caressing

I sing if there's no one in earshot - otherwise I just listen.

AW. A very nice place!
I also sing along to all of my tunes; I know thousands of songs all the way through, whole albums in fact.

... impressive! :)
Many of the tunes I listen to these days are lyric-less: jazz & classical, so I have an excuse not to be remembering the lyrics ;-)

I form a one-man mosh pit.

... this one cracked me up :-D
Gotta try this, myself, after borrowing some punk rock albums from DL. Speaking of her, I'd add the option to the poll she suggests:

Ken, you forgot the shake your rump option.

but seem unable to alter the poll.
ps Said body part of hers is quite pleasing to the eye :)

Excellent use of eggplant as a verb.

"caress and eggplant"

*resists temptation to call Semil something* ;-)
