This is Lucky's fault, but continuing the battle at the "I Can't Sleep" thread would just be cruel. We insomniacs will read anything: forum rules, the Waiver...The last thing we need is an attack of ear-worms, those horrid songs that burrow into your brain and won't go away no matter how much you despise them.

People are immune to ear-worms that they haven't been exposed to before, so cross-generational contamination isn't a danger. But this attempts to be an equal-suffering thread, so I've chosen a song whose lyrics are so contemptible that you can feel the effect even if you aren't familiar with the song stylings of Neil Diamond.

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard
Not even the chair

I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one...




Do your worst, pornsters.

I dare anyone to sing this five times without suffering through having it suck in there for hours.... as it already is in mine just thinking about it. Curses!

This is the song that doesnt end,
'Cause it goes on and on my friend,
some people started singin' it not knowin' what it was,
and they'll continue singing it forever just because,
this is the song that doesnt end,

etc etc etc...

Sorry guys :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!

A, ga, doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody.
 
The Original ...

Noel Gay & Ralph Butler

On the farm, every Friday
On the farm, its rabbit pie day.
So, every Friday that ever comes along,
I get up early and sing this little song:

Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Goes the farmer's gun.
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run.

Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Don't give the farmer his fun! Fun! Fun!
He'll get by
Without his rabbit pie
So run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run, run rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to start another one

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave
 
Do you like Pina Coladas?

I can only mumble the rest of the words, but once I hear it or think it there is no getting rid of it. And since I just did, off to blast some Rush on the stereo and drwon it out :)

My main problem is the damned "Badger" song. You know, the one from the Flash video that goes "badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-mushroom-mushroom!"...

If you don't.. well:

I want my baby back, baby back, baby back,

Chili's baby back ribs...

Chili's baby back ribs... BBQ sauce...

The lion sleeps tonight.

I don't know the song, but it made me laugh so hard my eyes are watering.

That song is the opposite of the blues. It's the pinks. It's the golf plaids.

NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo

Jesus, girl, you're merciless! If they played that song while interrogating Saddam Hussein, John Ashcroft would complain to Amnesty International.

Forget about your dog; dogs a block from my house started howling when I opened the post.

LOL!

You started a thread that was supposedly my fault...I'm only trying to live up to the responsibility of the ear worm thread!

As McCauley Culkin said in Home Alone...

"You give up? Or are you thirsty for more?"

~lucky

all apologies to the dogs on Sher's block....

Who let the dogs out?
Who, who, who, who
Who let the dogs out?
Who, who, who, who.......
 
I'm sorry to have to do this, but you people leave me little choice. My Weapon of Mass Destruction.

Bobby Goldsboro's tragic story song:

[color=dark-blue]<Honey>

See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, it was just a twig[/color]

Shereads notes: This hurts me more than it hurts you.

[color=dark-blue]Then the first snow came
And she ran up to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in, all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried[/color]

Shereads asks: WTF was he laughing about? I always wondered why people didn't see this as an abusive relationship. But wait, there's more:

[color=dark-blue]She was always young at heart, kind of dumb and kind of smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me awake all Christmas Eve two years ago

She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad, but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck[/color]

Then she dies. Not soon enough, but she does get put out of his misery.
 
I'm thinking you should change your sig line to 'cover my ears' I know what I'm doing.

That song sucks!

There she was just a walkin' down the street
Singing doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Snapping her fingers and lookin' up at me
Singing doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy do

She looked good
She looked fine
And I nearly
Lost my mind

~lucky

going back to dull thread where this kind of thing is
"NOT ALLOWED!"

Speaking of Bobby Goldsboro, I found this on one of his several fan pages. I don't think I ever heard this little ditty, but I may have heard it and blacked out. He was pretty popular back in the day.

<Me Japanese Boy, I Love You>

Long long ago in a land far away
A little boy and a girl were so in love
Standing neath the moon above

He said "Me Japanese Boy, I love you, I do love you
You Japanese Girl, you love me please say you do"

They carved their names on an cherry tree
Just like they've done in Japan since time began
Then he gently held her hand

And said "Me Japaneses Boy, I love you, I do love you
You Japaneses Girl, you love me, please say you do"

In a blue and white Kimono
She became his happy bride
From that day until this very moment
She'd been standing by his side

Now they are old and from what I am told
They're still in love just as much as they once were
Every night he kissed her
And said "Me Japanese Boy, I love you, I do love you"
There is the way that it should be when love is true
There is the way that it should be for me and you
 
This ain't funny no more

This was funny to start but now that I have Neil Diamond ringing in my ears, it ain't funny no more. So here's that old Ramones song they played in Full Metal Jacket when the helicopter was landing. Enjoy!

Surfin' Bird
The Ramones

Well everybody's heard about the bird

Bird, bird, bird
Bird is the word

Don't you know about the bird?
Well everybody knows that the bird is a word

Bird, bird, bird, bird is a word.

G'morning Josh...I aim to please!:D :p :D :p

wow, I've now been called a bitch on two different threads, and who knows how many more that I don't even know about...maybe I should tone it down...seems as though I'm coming on a little strong.:heart:
 
Jerimiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But he sure had somemighty fine wine

Singin

Joy, to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy, to you and me
