Tom said that he had to shower, so he went to the bathroom to freshen up, and when he was washing his hair, he heard Elvish singing a song. 

Elvish stood outside his shower door, and Tom had soap all over his eyes. When he got out of his shower, he realized Elvish was using his toilet.

Music Saved Tom's Life
