I remember hearing a Dennis Prager show once where he explained the concept of some old testament religious instructions.

Many of these things seem silly on the surface but they have a purpose, such as: Not wearing linen with animal skin. I believe that was one thing. That reinforces a "non-mixer" standard within the follower so that if the follower is instructed to obey this, he/she surely won't stray and mix other things that might be worse.

This new order actually makes sense in that perspective. Wouldn't Hebrew text instruct followers to sing unto God? If you are in the shower, naked, cleaning dirt off yourself, it seems to me that that wouldn't be appropriate considering that Jews wear those yamulkes on their heads to not show a naked head to God.

I think a Christian would most likely believe that if Jesus was asked about this that he would approve of singing in the shower and the louder and more joyous, the better.

Your proposal would make better sense if the rabbi had forbidden singing as such in the shower. But the "logic" of his argument actually commits him to a prohibition on singing, speaking, or otherwise uttering biblical Hebrew anywhere in a bathroom (whereas singing, speaking, or otherwise uttering any other language, including modern Hebrew, should be just fine). That's much harder to fit with your interpretation.
