“People wanted a Megadeth record. They didn’t wanna see Dave bending over backwards to keep Marty Friedman happy, 'cause Marty wanted us to sound like fucking Dishwalla.”
That right there is everything I know about Dishwalla.
Once when I worked on boats we were docked and a 150+ foot fancy (motor) boat came in. The crew just threw the dishes overboard. When they left someone from our (tall ship) boat went snorkeling and brought up tons of nice dishes (and silverware, glasses, cups…). I can’t imagine what the owner thought. Of course the owner may never have known if dishes were continually being bought and the accounting practices were, umm, a bit off.
Another “tall ship” boat (shall remain nameless to protect the guilty even though it has been years but one of the guilty parties is still working in that industry) I know of did an “interesting” pre-wash rinse. They used to put their dirty dishes in a net and drag them behind the boat before they’d finally get around to washing them. I don’t think they did that when passengers were on board though.
Almost forgot - they’d be listening to the sounds of the sea.
@zinimusprime Not cruise ship. These are replicas of pre-steam engine sailing ships. I used to work on them and have a USCG license for them.

usually the tv is on in the living room, most likely whoever we were watching stream on twitch. but i can’t really hear it in the kitchen.
anything loud enough for me to hear clearly over doing the dishes (i wash under running water) would probably also be audible to our neighbors downstairs. i usually do dishes somewhat late and they have young children who are probably in bed by that time so i wouldn’t want to start blasting music or anything.
I’m into true crime podcasts, I listen to it almost all the time (including doing dishes). Now I’m on My Favorite Murder, that’s great! It’s a perfect mixture of discussing serious and frightening stuff with jokes and stupid comments.
The dishwasher.
Delerium. Love them.

Glass breaking.
@ThunderChicken “I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass”
90’s Alternative and Grunge station on Amazon Music.
Usually some TV show on Netflix or something like that. Currently Lucifer.
Otherwise, the sound of water splashing on dishes. Or toddlers screeching and playing.
What is this “doing dishes” you speak of?
“Doing” sounds a little… raunchy. Please be more specific.
@OldCatLady
/youtube raunchy dim the lights and run
The Platters.
A little bit of Mack the Knife.
Definitely The Spoons.
Maybe a little eau de Joy.
Whatever is on the radio. I try not to have so many dishes that I need to worry about what is playing.
The sound of TV dinner cardboard going into a garbage bag.
Dishwalla! Yes that is a band… look it up.

@Kidsandliz That’s insane.
When you say tall ship, do you mean Cruise Ship?
@zinimusprime Not cruise ship. These are replicas of pre-steam engine sailing ships. I used to work on them and have a USCG license for them.

@Kidsandliz Thank you for the explanation. That must’ve been cool to captain a ship like that.

Whatever is on the TV. I don’t have dishwashing music, is really that a thing?
@Goofmont I mean, I usually put on music while cleaning, and filling the dishwasher happens during that.
Pale waves
Dan Patrick Show!
I cook, the wife does the dishes.
I listen to the sound of my leftovers screaming in horror as the Sink-Maelstrom carries them to their septic doom.
/giphy whirlpool
TiVo-ed morning newscast…
I like to listen to And That’s Why We Drink. I like some murder and paranormal content while scrubbing away.
You guys either have louder music or better hearing than me. Now cooking, I listen to music.

I tend to make phone calls while doing dishes, so hold music or my mom’s voice.
