Giving this a try! I don't usually write humor, but I loved the prompt, so I figured I'd give it a shot. There's probably gonna be a lack of smut too, but I hope that's okay with the OP.
"That Jazz"Shepard was… different after coming back from the dead, Garrus noticed. Not really in a bad way. And she was always a bit quirky, even for a human - humming under her breath during battle, twirling in the corridors of the Normandy when it was late and she didn’t think anyone was watching. But she used to keep this sort of thing pretty well hidden. Now it seemed like a floodgate had opened. A floodgate of song and very, very bad dancing

Garrus had decided not to mention it. Everyone deserved to have their odd days off, and anyway it was probably some human custom he wasn’t aware of. He remembered hearing Crewman Matthews singing in the shower when he passed the men’s bathroom some time ago. Maybe it was normal for humans to sing while doing day-to-day activities. Garrus wasn’t about to be judgmental, especially not towards his best friend

Garrus was in the middle of some calculations when he heard a knock at the door. Expecting Shepard, he was surprised when he turned his head and found Thane and Samara standing behind him. He blinked at them. “Hey. Something wrong

Shepard had flatly refused to leave when Garrus tried to call her away. In the end, he all but dragged her through Engineering so they could talk in relative privacy by the drive core. When he finally let her go, she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him, though he could tell the look was mostly for show. Laughter danced behind her eyes.
“Out with it, then,” she said, still keeping up the pretense of annoyance. “It better be good. Grunt almost had it!”
“Oh yeah,” Garrus replied drily. “He was this close to becoming a virtuoso, Shepard

Shepard did tone down her antics, though just enough to keep the threats of blowing up the Normandy to a minimum. Most of the crew actually started to get used to the occasional outburst of song, only sparing her amused glances before returning to their duties. And Shepard never neglected her own responsibilities, though she still had the annoying habit of providing her own soundtrack to their ground missions

That night, Garrus turned over in his bunk, staring at the ceiling for a moment before checking the clock. Seeing how late it was, he groaned. His mind had been racing all night. He wanted to say that it wasn’t nerves about the upcoming suicide mission, but he knew better than to lie to himself. It was this way with every big mission since he lost his team on Omega. There was always that sinking feeling that he was forgetting something important

The abduction of the crew and the race to save them left the Normandy almost ghost-like in its silence. Shepard’s fury and worry about the missing crew members made the ship seem even quieter than usual; she usually only sang when she was in a good mood. Garrus was a little surprised by how unsettling it was to have a quiet ship again. He had gotten used to the singing, and actually found it a little comforting. A musical Normandy was a secure one

The Normandy raced back to the Relay, a wall of fire and light in their wake. The ship shuddered as Joker pushed it even faster, until it caught the red tendril of energy from the Relay, shooting them beyond the explosion’s reach

a!a, i cannot even tell you how much i love you for this prompt. the rocky horror scene was AMAZING (...and also may have had, uh, more of an effect on me than i care to admit), and ending it with wicked is the best thing you could have done. thank you so much for filling this!! you have made me a very, very happy anon.

Captcha suggests: recorded. Come on, Garrus, what do you wear that thing for, if not to record embarassing moments?

All I can think of is Shepard and Mordin singing the "Elements".
