singlisten

The act of intermittently singing and listening to a song during the lyrical parts as opposed to singing along.

I can't help singlistening to (insert name of your favorite band) whenever I hear them.

I wanted to sing along during the show but the lead singer was so good I ended up singlistening.

My vocal range is bad so I have to singlisten whenever I jam out in my car alone!
