I have the same issue with cleaning around other people. For me, I've realized that it comes from adults in my life being hypercritical whenever I did chores as a kid. I was expected to help with cleaning from about 8 years old and my mom and grandma would yell at me for doing chores too slow or the "wrong" way even though I was still learning. Not much I can do about it now except raising my own children differently, but being aware of the reason for this hang-up and recognizing that it's irrational definitely helps me.

Stretch by Maximum Joy. Not sure if that's enough screaming, but it can give you quite a jump if you're not prepared. I enjoy it because the intensity of the scream "stretches" the listener's preconceptions of what a happy, danceable song should sound like :)
