Incurable Ear-Worms

[shereads]

That was quite clever and cute, sher, but I still don't forgive you for the goddamned hula hoop!

- Mindy, who has that record album (A Chipmunk Christmas) in a box around here somewhere...

Your AV is gorgeous. Reminds me of the smell of sagebrush after a rain. Nothing like it.

You need lots of oooo's in your hula hoop.

 

[lucky-E-leven]

There she was, just a walkin' down the street singin'

doo wa diddy diddy dum diddy doo

Snappin' her fingers and lookin' up at me, singin'...

[Guest]

Here's a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note by note

Don't worry, be happy...

 

[shereads]

Dammit! On Friday a friend walked into my office wearing round white adhesive labels on her eyes and singing the theme from "Annie." I didn't want to do this, but the only way to make the song go away is to share it.



The sun will come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun.

Lalalalala tomorrow
something something something and the sorrow
something something...

When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray
And lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin
And say........................












TO MOR row

TO MOR row

I LOVE ya

Tomorrow
You're always a day away!

repeat ad nauseum

I Love This Thread!


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

Current earworm

ow come you’re always such a fussy young man?
Don’t want no Captain Crunch, don’t want no raisin bran
Well, don’t you know that kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it

Don’t want to argue, I don’t want to debate
Don’t want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won’t get no dessert ’till you clean off your plate
So eat it

Don’t you tell me you’re full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

Your table manners are some cryin’ shame
You’re playin’ with your food, this ain’t some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you’ll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it

You better listen, better do what you’re told
You haven’t even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it’s gonna get cold
So eat it

I don’t care if you’re full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn’t matter it it’s fresh or tanned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don’t you make me repeate it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn’t matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it’s gettin’ cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don’t like it, you can’t send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don’t you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn’t matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

 

[SeaCat]

Ahhhhh, you're all a bunch of pikers. You missed two of the worst. (On purpose maybe? )

Swinging, and of course that all time favorite of tin ears, Achy Breaky Heart.

Cat

 

[rgraham666]

Luckily for me, I've never heard Achy Breaky Heart.

 

[SeaCat]

Luckily for me, I've never heard Achy Breaky Heart.

Indeed you are lucky, the ultimate ear worm is the Achy Breaky Heart.

[shereads]

Cat

Ha! You rookies are so naive.

See the tree how big it's grown
You know 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

(I never tire of typing those last two lines. It's the adjoining ITs that made Bobby Goldsboro a genius.)

 

[Guest]

fie!

i had a little nut tree, nothing would it bare
but a silver nutmeg and a golden pear
the king of spain's daughter
came to visit me
and all for the sake of my little nut tree.


confusing messages in this little lullabye...
can you see it?
or am i just very mentally unstable.

 

[Guest]

im sure this was brought up

but i couldnt be arsed to go back and see...

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am

Second verse same as the first

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am


I'm Henry the eighth I am

H-E-N-R-Y
Henry (Henry)

Henry the eighth I am, I am

Yeah!

 

[Subo97]

I've got to get it out

shereads, I love you. I have been seeking exorcism from this demon that haunts me for years:

We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall...........................

....here's looking at you, kid....


HE SAID THAT TO INGRID BERMAN IN CASABLANCA, YOU FUCKING NIMROD!

I scream that at the radio every time I hear it. It has wrecked two marriages, got me fired from three jobs and cost me thousands in prescription co-pays.

I recently watched Key Largo and all it's great performances and that Goddamned song kept rising up from my subconscious like the septic overflow from a George Bush State of the Union speech. Only porn and rabbit farming give me release.

 

[Samandiriel]

Jenny I got your number,
I'm gonna make you mine.....


867-5309.......still makes me cringe.

 

[Extreme Bohunk]

serious worm

Oogah-Chaka!
Oogah-Chaka!
Oogah-Chaka!
Oogah-Chaka!

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl you just don't realize
What you do to me

KILL ME! KILL ME NOW!

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!





There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why





MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!





I can especially get behind the last four lines.



Edited to Add

Let's not forget Weird Al.



I recall the time they found those fossilized mosquitoes
And before long, they were cloning DNA
Now I'm being chased by some irate veloceraptors
Well, believe me... this has been one lousy day

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone shut the fence off in the rain
I admit it's kinda eerie
But this proves my chaos theory
And I don't think I'll be coming back again
Oh no

I cannot approve of this attraction
'Cause getting disemboweled always makes me kinda mad
A huge tyrannosaurus ate our lawyer
Well, I suppose that proves... they're really not all bad

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
What a crummy weekend this has been
Well, this sure ain't no E-ticket
Think I'll tell them where to stick it
'Cause I'm never coming back this way again
Oh no... oh no

 

[An Awful Cad]

I love you
You love me
We’re a happy family
With a great big hug and
A kiss from me to you
Won’t you say you love me too?

I love you
You love me
We’re best friends like friends
Like friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won’t you say you love me too?

IMHO, no further discussion is necessary. This one has woken me up from a dead sleep.


I am, however, currently afflicted by a different species of the beast. Worst part is, I can't figure out how it "wormed" its way into my skull. Must have been in an elevator somewhere, because I would never listen to it consciously:

Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh....
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for another go
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh....
He said, "one more job oughta get it"
"One last shot, we quit it"
"One more for the road"

Is it fair to say that a high degree of inanity is common to all earworms?
