*fingers in ears, chanting*

Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-I-can't-hear-you!

[Kida Adelyn]

Ray, why did you put on Puff the Magic Dragon, I love that song.

[batyler65]

Ally, they don't have to be songs you hate. Just songs that get stuck in your head and won't go away. It's all part of a nefarious plot to drive me insane.

My husband says it's too late...

;)

Edited to appease the spelling and typo gods.

[RichMar]

I figure you got stuck on nefarious. It's kind of an unwieldy word, very nefarious. Ida wrote "evil" myself. Especially since I too woulda hada check the spelling of nefarious. Nefarious is a very evil way to mean evil.

Kind of an "Evil Woman" thing to put forth here.

Anyways, I never cottoned to the song "Evil Woman."

("Anyways" is something they always say on NYPD Blue. I've known a few cops and detectives from NYPD, but I never heard them say "anyways." If I think of it, I'm gonna ask them about that. Hell, I'm retired. I got the time to dig up trivia like that.)

[maestrowork]

Barb, you know you love it. Stop denying yourself.


-It's Electric!

-You can't see it (It's electric)

You gotta feel it (It's electric)

Ooh, it's shakin' (It's electric)

(Jiggle-a-mesa-cara

She's a pumpin' like a matic

She's a movin' like electric

She sure got the boogie)

-You gotta know it (It's electric-Boogie, woogie, woogie!)

Now you can't hold it (It's electric-Boogie, woogie, woogie!)

[batyler65]

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up

Oh no ... disco ....

[Kida Adelyn]

*looks at chunky's post* :x




:gone

[batyler65]

um... Ally, a private dick is another way to say DETECTIVE.

CC, you really need to clarify your posts for the younger crowd. Can ya dig it?

~b

[maestrowork]

Yup, that song's supposed to be a double entendre.

[aka eraser]

Young loooOOOOOOOOOOOOve

First loooooOOOOOOOOOOOOve

FiLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLed with truuuuuUUUUUUUe

DeeeevooooooOOOOOOooooootionnnnnnn

[ChunkyC]

Sorry, Kida. I should have realized that some folks might not recognize the theme song from the 1971 movie SHAFT. That's also what I get for pasting in the first verse of the song. I wasn't even thinking of the innuendo at the time, idiot that I am.

SHAFT -- the original movie (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0067741/)

Audio sample (scroll down to Theme from Shaft) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000000ZML/qid=1098807329/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-2163563-6328862?v=glance&s=music)

My sincere apologies if it offended or upset anyone.

[Cary]

....the simple bear nesscessities, forget about your worry an your strife !!! I said the, BEAR nesscessities, the simple bear nesscessities, the simple bear nesscessities of life !!! (theme from the Jungle Book, for you younger crowd..).Wow...Do I feel old or what ???:rollin

[ChunkyC]

Hey, Cary! :hug

[Lori Basiewicz]

CARY!!!!!

[maestrowork]

Cary, yes you do. Unfortunately I won't be around much starting next week! You will have to wait until after Thanksgiving, since I will be away on a long trip.

But let's plan on sushi some time after Thanksgiving!

[Yeshanu]

:ha

I think I have some education to see to... (Not that I ever saw the movie, but the song was pretty big. CC, it just shows how old we're getting... :ack )

[Lori Basiewicz]

How do you like me now?
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy,
Standing here today?


(I don't know why, but this song has been running through my head since I was in the shower this morning.)

[ChunkyC]

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious....

:ack :ack :ack

[maestrowork]

Reminds me:

Waiter: What would you like, sir?
Customer: I'll have special meal #3.
Waiter: Soup or califragisticexpialedocious, sir?

[Kida Adelyn]

Fogies are weird:shrug

Just kidding, I love you guys:hug , though I think I'd prefer it if you didn't expand my education.:grin

[ChunkyC]

We luv ya too, Kida. Just don't tell anyone I inadvertently introduced you to that song. (I still feel like a doofus for not picking a different verse. :smack )

[maestrowork]

Ooh, how could we do Mary Poppins without this...


Kick your knees up!
Kick your knees up, step in time
Kick your knees up, step in time
Never need a reason,
Never need a rhyme
Kick your knees up, step in time

[batyler65]

GRRrrrrrrrr!
*gnawing keyboard*

MEMO:
must kill RAY, step in time
must KILL ray, step in time
MUST kill ray
MUST KILL RAY
mustkillray

[ChunkyC]

:rofl

And on that note, I must say goodnight....

And thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
So thank you so much.

[Kida Adelyn]

:rofl *takes keyboard away from barb*
Those things cost money, plus there's the rist of electrical shock.:rofl

[batyler65]

*taking a deep breath*

Thanks, Ally.
I'm feeling much better now.

Tigers are great,
they can't be beat.
If I was a tiger,
that would be neat.

http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage16/11.gif

[batyler65]

The wonderful thing about tiggers
is tiggers are wonderful things
their tops are made out of rubber
their bottoms are made out of springs...

[maestrowork]

It is starting to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go...


T'is the season to be jolly
fa la la la la, la la la la


Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way...


(and 1000 more Christmas hits coming your way forever!)

[Yeshanu]

:ack Arrgh!

Barb, I'm trying to calm down in preparation for sleep and you're going on about Tiggers!

:ack

[batyler65]

Ruth: I'm thinking if your reading this thread while preparing to sleep... um... well... I'm sure you see my point.

They're bouncy, flouncy, trouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun FUUUUUUN!

:jump :jump :jump

[maestrowork]

Barb, I'm thinking of something truly, really diabolical right now. Just you wait.

[ChunkyC]

Here we come, walkin'
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street

[gia052505]

that song is always stuck in my head, too....
do you know what you're suppose to do when you get a song stuck in your head? there's a simple remedy. sing the song
"SHE'S LIKE THE WIND" by PATRICK SWAYZE.
No kidding. You might think, "Well, then I'll have She's Like The Wind stuck in my head." Amazingly, you won't.

And now...
LOVIN YOU

LALALALALA LALALALALA LALALALALALALALALALA

(intolerable high-pitched screach)YAHAHAHAHAH

and my favorite 80s Juice Newton song
(was there more than 1?)
PLAYIN WITH THE QUEEN OF FARTS
Knowin that it really smarts
the joker is the only fooohoohool
who'll do anything fer you

[ChunkyC]

PLAYIN WITH THE QUEEN OF FARTS
I usually reworded it to Queen of TARTS, but that's just me. :grin

Oh I see. Someone's been to the SpongeBob movie!

Speaking of movies... I am trying my very best avoiding malls now, but they start playing Christmas songs at theaters... ARGHHHH!!!!

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow...

ARGGGHHHH!!!

[Kida Adelyn]

You think thats bad? In choir I'm singing my least favorite chritmas song in the world. We do it so much I think I'm starting to like it.

Chestnuts Roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose...

*shudder*
The lyrics make no sense either.

[ChunkyC]

Rudolph roasting on an open fire....

http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/pi_bigsmile.gif

[Kida Adelyn]

We (me and my friends) came up with a very brutal Rudolf parody.

As well we like to sing
Jack frost roasting on an open fire,
Chestnuts nipping at your nose

Sometimes I want to sing that really loud during rehersal.:D

[maestrowork]

I have a slightly X-rated version of that chestnut song...

[ChunkyC]

When we were kids ... okay, sometimes now as well. :p

Jingle bells
Santa smells
forty miles away....

We three kings of orient are
trying to smoke a rubber cigar
It was loaded, it explo-oded
blowing us all afar....

[batyler65]

My Fave parody (Particularly wonderful when sung by a chorus of first and second graders during Christmas pageant.)

Santa Claus, Santa Claus, You Are Must Too Fat (http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Hymns_and_Carols/santa_claus_you_are_much_too_fat.htm)
[sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells"]

[Kida Adelyn]

:lol

[maestrowork]

I got blisters
I got bunions
I got my warts
who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?

[Lori Basiewicz]

I've got one line of a Christmas song going through my head over and over and over again. If I could only remember the rest of the song, maybe I could get it out of there, but noooo.....

"Christmas Time is Coming" Mmm Mm MMMm

[Kida Adelyn]

You want an annoying song?

Last week my school was doing a fundraiser. We had to pay to have them stop playing the music that they were playing over the PA. It was the most annoying song in the world to, and they played it over and over every minute we were out of class untill they made $750.

Half the students(and teachers) were close to going crazy. The rest of them were there.

In case your wondering the song was by the hanson brothers. I'm not sure what it's called but most of the words are 'ummm-bop budopbopbop, ummm-bop budopbopbop'

[ChunkyC]

I'm not sure what it's called
Believe it or not, it's called MMM-BOP.

Now how did I know that? :rolleyes

PS - how long did it take to raise the cash? I'm guessing a minute and a half, even if it was all from kids coughing up their lunch money. :b

[Kida Adelyn]

Three days.


Three days of utter hell.

[ChunkyC]

Three DAYS?! I think I would have gone nuts.

[Kida Adelyn]

I did.

One of my friends spent the entire lunch hour rocking back and forth saying 'bop'

My choir director actually said "shut the door before I shoot the speakers" :lol

[STORMTURNER]

Don't know the words to it...

Loveshack, dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna place where, we can get together...

...but I can't seem to get that dang melody out my head.

[msQTpi]

Here they are...love the song myself...lol

If you see a faded sign on the side of the road that says,
Fifteen miles to the...LOVE SHACK! Love shack yea.

I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway,
Lookin' for the love getaway, love getaway.

I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headed on down to the love shack.
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about twenty, so hurry up and bring your jukebox money!

The love shack is a little old place where, we can get together.
Love shack baby. (A Love Shack bay-hay-bee).
Love shack, baby love shack. (4X) (Love baby, that's where its at) (Last 2X)

Sign says, Wooo! Stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the love shack,
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back.

Glitter on the mattress, Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch, Glitter on the hallway.

The love shack is a little old place where, we can get together.
Love shack bay-ay-bee. Love shack baby!
Love sha-a-ack, that's where it's at-
Love sha-a-ack, that's where it's at.

Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin',
Wearin' next to nothin' 'cause it's hot as an oven.
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's movin'
Around and around and around and around!

Everybody's movin' everybody's groovin' baby.
(Folks linin' up outside just to get down)!
Everybody's movin' everybody's groovin' baby.
(Funky little shack, funky little shack)!

Hop in my Chrysler it's as big as a whale and we're about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20 so hurry up and bring your jukebox money!

(Chorus)

Bang, bang, bang, on the door baby, (Knock a little louder baby)
Bang, bang, bang, on the door baby, (I can't hear you)
Bang bang! (On the door baby) Bang bang! (On the door!)
Bang bang! (On the door baby) Bang bang! (On the door!)

You're what???
Tin roof...rusted!

Love shack, baby love shack (4X) (Baby that's where it's at!)

[Yeshanu]

I think I would have gone nuts.

It was too late for Ally -- her mother drove her nuts years ago and she's never recovered...

[ChunkyC]

Ah, so she has a built-in resistance... :b

[Kida Adelyn]

:p This was the different type of crazy though. Not the one instilled by parents. It's the one that makes you rock back and forth saying "speakers must die. speakers must die." fully unaware that speakers are inanimate objects.

[gia052505]

this is a really funny story (mmm-bop)...you should write an after school special based on it! hey, they don't even have those after school special any more, do they?
anyone remember "dinky hokker shoots smack"?
hard-hitting.

back to songs:
wondering if there actual words to "benny and the jets"?
maybe someone posted this already but i haven't seen it.

she's got electric prunes

Thanks to somebody at the AW gathering Sunday night,

My bologna has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R
My bologna has a second name it's M-A-Y-E-R

Oh, I love it everyday
and if you ask me why
I'll say:

Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-o-l-o-g-n-a.

Thank you soooooo much!

[Yeshanu]

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

Arrrgh! Make it stop! (My son tried -- by singing an even more annoying song...)

[MacAl Stone]

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Rock...

[maestrowork]

<ahem>

Deck the halls with boughs of Holly
fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra

[drgnlvrljh]

You know, this is probably (arguably) the best Rock song evah!

But I hate it when it gets stuck in my head!

I couldn't take it any longer LAWD I was crazed, then feeling came upon me like a tidal wave, I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave, that I would love you till the end of time! I swore I'd love you till the end of time!:\

[drgnlvrljh]

Stuck song syndrome annoyed, frustrated, and irritated women significantly more than men. And earworm attacks were more frequent -- and lasted longer -- for musicians and music lovers. Slightly neurotic people also seemed to suffer more.

From the link batyler65 kindly supplied waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back on the first page.


I'm a woman, a music lover, -and- slightly neurotic (according to my fiance, anyway).

I'm in deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep trouble! :eek

[batyler65]

Thanks, Nita...

Oh I wish I was an Oscar Mayer wiener....
That is what I'd truly like to be...

Followed closely by:

Hot dogs, armour hot dogs,
the dogs kids love to bite.

It's shaping up to be a real "wiener" of a day.

[ChunkyC]

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight....

[ChunkyC]

And the classic:

Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers

Deck the halls with boughs of Holly

Fa ra ra ra ra? Isn't it supposed to be fa la la la la? Or is this some refrence to somthing that I havn't heard of again.

I sang this in choir and there is only one hall as well.

[Lori Basiewicz]

Ally, have you ever seen A Christmas Story? If so, think of the scene where the family ends up at a Chinese restaurant for their Christmas dinner after the Bumpkiss' dogs steal the family turkey.

Wake me up, before you go go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo yo, wake me up, before you go go......

[Melina]

Remember David Naughton, the American Werewolf in London? He had a couple of egregious offenses.

I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper,
Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?

and

I'm bad as they come
Number two to no one
I've got looks
I've got brains
and I'm breakin' these chains,
I'm makin' it
I've got the chance, I'm takin' it
No more- no more fakin' it
This time in life I'm makin' it...

Bright side of death

I used to hear the same thing, AQ. It was YEARS before I realized what the true lyric was.

[BradyH1861]

I have a laundry list of songs I hate. Let's see....

Anything rap related I cannot stand.

But I reserve a special hatred for all things Shania Twain.

I am a country music fan, mind you, but there is nothing country about her...or Garth Brooks either for that matter.

IMHO that is.

Brady H.

[ChunkyC]

I do like Twain and Brooks, but I know what you're saying, Brady. Personally, I'm more into bluegrass than traditional country. I like Vince Gill when he really gets pickin', Alison Krauss and Union Station, that kind of stuff.

Can't stand Shania's new tune: Havin' a Party. Gag me, weakest thing she's ever done. Much prefer songs like Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under. Classic swing-style country tune. You can spin a gal all around the dance floor to that one.

Cate ... where are you? I feel like dancin'!

Suppose I was in fact two stepping with myself, would it then be called one stepping?

When I was a single lad about the town and in college, whenever I attended "social events", I always kept an eye out for the girl dancing by herself after being there for a short time. I figured she would be my best chance. :poke:

Alas, that does not work in reverse. Usually when I tried dancing by myself, I was asked to leave. :Smack:

[Fractured_Chaos]

I was stranded on a planet, Just me and Spock
When we met a nasty nazi alien who locked our a$$es up
We found a hunk of crystal and a metal piece of bed
We made a laser phaser gun and shot him in the head

Bust a move, Tog

I was standing on the bridge when Sulu came to me
His eyes were full of tears he said "Captain, can't you see
the ship is gonna blow do something I beseech"
I grabbed a tribble and some chewing gum and stopped the warp core breach

And I say,
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
Thats the way we do things, lad, we're making sh*t up as we wish
The Klingons and the Romulans pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some sh*t up

*Busta move, Tog!*:ROFL:

[Vipersniper]

:box: At a nightclub that was next to the apartment where I lived in the 1980's they kept playing the song. "Honey won't you open that door? Honeey, Honney. Honey won't you open that door?" I wanted to shout out. "Somebody please open the blame door and let the fool in so I can sleep."

[sgtsdaughter]

Kenny Chensey's "Key Lime Pie" the lyrics . . .

My Baby likes to watch me eat her key lime pie, key lime pie, yeah . . .
now, that 's just a Deadhead song gone very bad. :Shrug:

[ritinrider]

Kenny Chesney is bad, whatever he's trying to sing.

Frank - that link was cute, it did make me smile. Although hubby did holler "what in the h*** are you listening to?" Of course he couldn't hear it well since I didn't turn up the volume and he was in the next room.

Aq and Birol, my daughter thought the same thing. When she was informed is was 4 hungry children she allowed that was still too many kids and she'd still leave too.

Brady, if you don't like Shania how do you feel about Gretchen Wilson ( don't even consider those music mofia people)?

Ride a Cowboy Save a Horse is probably at the top of my top 10 yuk songs right now, can't think of any others off hand.

[wurdwise]

I know, it's gonna make me sound like an old foggie, but though I love old rock and roll, I hate, what is it called, grunge? Where it sounds like rabit cats fighting inside a metal trash can? And you can't understand a word they are "singing":Ssh:

[ChunkyC]

Grunge sounds like the very first band I was in -- y'know, a bunch of 14 year olds who haven't even learned how to tune their instruments yet. I spent years trying to get better, and then playing badly became a fad! I coulda been a star. What a gyp.

I can't stand that new hip-hop-ish version of "If I were a rich man..." from Fiddler on the Roof. I would rather have racoons dig for cheezies in my underwear while I'm wearing them than have to listen to that. Bleah.

[CACTUSWENDY]

"It's a small world after all....It's a small world after all....etc..etc...etc...sigh

[Brainerd T.]

I used to just hate "Hello Muddah, hello Faddah".
It was forgotten about until they came out with that durn commercial and brought the whole thing up all over again.

[Yeshanu]

I used to just hate "Hello Muddah, hello Faddah".

...unless, of course, you listen to a classical music station. The tune is actually a well-loved classical piece, but now very few people can listen to it without the words running through their heads...


ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!

The annoying thing is... usually the songs that stick in my head.... I know VERY few of the words. The I'm the Type of Guy song was stuck in my head for about a week. I literally only knew the words "I'm the type of guy." The rest of it... eh...

[chelle21]

The song I can't get out of my head is an old soundtrack to a movie called Ode to Billie Joe, in the name of the song is Ode to Billy Joe.



If I can get that song out of my head tomorrow would be great because I don't want to go to my cousin graduation singing that song to her for her graduation theme song. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_9_205.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm801YYUS)hehehe please get that song out of my head. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_16_2.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm801YYUS)

[chelle21]

the other song that drives me crazy is the new Sugarland song Baby girl
my favorite verse from that song is

They say, this town
The stars stay up all night
Well I don't know, can't see 'em
For the glow of the neon lights
And it's a long way from here
To the place where the home fires burn
Well, it's two thousand miles and one left turn


Oh What a song! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_9_208.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm801YYUS) http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_9_208.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm801YYUS)

Gawd, a stupid friend of mine sang it the other day, with his entire dance routine, and it has been stuck since.

OK, if I have to listen to that Numa Numa song one more time, I'd die. I can't seem to be able to get that out of my head!!!

ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!

[Kida Adelyne]

This is the thread that never ends...

Sorry, that's what happened when I saw this thread again. I completely sypathize with you Birol. Happens to me all the time.

However, right now I have "It was a lover and his lass" stuck in my head.:Ssh:

Sorry to dig this up again, Barb, but in WPR Tri said, "Poppies poppies poppies (http://stankas-t-bone-lyrics.wonderlyrics.com/Existential-Blues.html)."

[Brainerd T.]

Quoth the raven, nevermore. Quick, I have fallen on hard times and can't get up.

Seriously, in all innocuousness, the capstone of this controbversial subject is the following:

Tom T. Hall had a hit song in the 1960's entitled "That song is driving me crazy".

[batyler65]

Lori, you are NOT sorry. You don't even LOOK sorry.

*muttermuttermutter*

[Yeshanu]

It's okay, Lori. I might have done it pretty soon if you hadn't.

"We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz..."



(Now why is that song running loose in my empty little head right now, I wonder? :D )

[batyler65]

Why do stars fall down from the sky....

I think I have had "Close to You" stuck in my head ever since I saw Neil Gaimon's MirrorMask last week.

[PattiTheWicked]

Jessica Simpson's annoying, breathy remake of These Boots are Made For Walking gets my vote, hands down, for the song that is the most like nails on a chalkboard. I thought I would escape having to hear it ever, because I listen to an alternative radio station, but now freakin' PIZZA HUT has got her singing it and panting all over some teenage boy while she sings about pizza poppers pooping all over people.

[poetinahat]

"Ground floor: perfumery, stationery and leather goods. (blah blah, bla bla bla), kitchenware and shoes. Going UP!" (baaaa ba babaaaa baaa.... baaaa ba babaaaaa baaa...)

[jst5150]

Rather vague, so, I'll name a few:

Old Time Rock and Roll
Mambo No. 5
The Macarena
Celebration (Kool and the Gang)
Super Freak
La Bamba

and finally ...

Any cliche "this is the couple's wedding song" song (and just once, I'd like the couple's wedding song to be "Screaming for Vengence" by Judas Priest)

Just about any time one of these songs cues up, I can actually feel my corneas scraping the back of my skull and the blood squeezing from my neck into my toes.

I've always liked the Johnny Rivers song "Secret Asian Man". "They've given you a number and taken away your name..."

[dclary]

My personal favorite is my own children's song... Orca: The Killer Whale

(CHORUS)
Orca, the Killer Whale
Killingest Whale that there ever was
Orca, the Killer Whale
Killingest Whale that there ever was


(VERSE 1)
First there was a Whale
And his name was Orca
And he was a Killer
Guess you know
the rest of the song now!


There's much more, of course. I can put up a link of me singing it, if you want this catchy, catchy tune bouncing around your brain.

[Betty W01]

Steve, it's Secret AGENT Man - although Ray might prefer your version....

[dclary]

Next you're going to tell me it's not "There's a Bathroom on the Right."

I've always liked the Johnny Rivers song "Secret Asian Man".

Well, here it is...
http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/johnnyrivers17.shtml

I get song parodies stuck in my head.


I'm really surprised that after years of not writing, I'm still registered here...

[JeanneTGC]

I thought I'd just check this entire thread out (ie: I need to write and/or send in some submissions, so I naturally have killed at least an hour reading every single post since this thread began 2+ years ago).

And I have a confession to make.

With the exception of the loathsome Barney theme, I either don't mind or actually like...EACH AND EVERY song mentioned here. Every one.

I like MMM-Bop. I like (God help me) the entire Barry Manilow oevre. I like all those movie theme songs, including the awful ones.

I (*sob*) like singing the Gilligan's Island theme song, as well as all the OTHER theme songs mentioned (Courtship of Eddie's Father -- a classic!) or not mentioned (Greeeeeen Acres is the place to be!), even SpongeBob Squarepants (which I cannot stand to watch) and Sesame Street (which I can but since my child is now 16, I never do any more).

I...I...I enjoy singing along to the ad themes (I've worked in Marketing for a long time, that's my only excuse! But I'm sticking with it!) including all the weiner songs AND the Band-Aid song (which was, somehow, not mentioned before, but I bring it up here..."I am stuck on Band-Aids, 'cause Band-Aids' stuck on me..." And that would be MISTER Barry Manilow to you. Yes, he wrote that. He wrote a LOT of jingles. That's why they, AND his "real" songs, stick in your head and never leave. Barry is a hook genius.).

There is, however, one song (other than the Barney theme, which, while I hate, does NOT stick in my mind) that, somehow, has been missed from this list. One song so horrible, so insidious, so BAD, so LONG, and SO easily stuck in your head forever, that I am shocked that no one else has mentioned it.

So, since I'm sure that I will be shunned forever for my shameful confessions of song, themes, and jingle loves, I will unveil the ONE song that, when it's thought of, not only can you not get rid of it, but you also have to sit there and wonder WHY it was recorded not once but TWICE and HOW BOTH of those recordings made it onto Casey Kasem's American Top 40.

Ready? (Weaker folk should hit their "back" buttons now)

Recorded both in the vocal stylings of Rex Harrison by the late, great "singer" Mr. Richard Harris (yes, aka Dumbledore) and also in a hep, happening disco version by Miss Donna Summer, I give you...

MacArthur Park.

(Someone left the cake out in the raiiiiiiin. I don't think that I can taaaaaake it. 'Cause it took so long to baaaaake it. And I'll never have that recipe agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiin. Oooooh whoaaaaaaaaa)

I'll just take my coat and hat and go now...

[BruceJ]

Billy Joel has the distinction of writing one of my all-time favorite songs (I Love You Just the Way You Are) and one of the all-time most annoying songs (We Didn't Start the Fire...oh, yeah, and there's She's Always a Woman To Me where he describes one of the least likeable people--male or female--that you could ever want to meet.) I dunno, just me I guess...

[Billytwice]

I just love whistling the tune of 'If I only had a brain' to those deserving of the 'accolade.'
One guy in work springs to mind.
We call him 'five watt' cos he's so dim...

[Jaycinth]

I try not to think about songs like that, because, when I do, they are stuck in my brain the way one of you folks just stuck me with 'Gilligan's Island'.

"Oh, you can torture me with Donny and Marie
You can play some Barry Manilow
You can play some schlock, like New Kids On The Block
Or any Village People song you know
Or play Berlin and Ives
You can play them twice
You can play the Bee Gees any day
But Mr. DJ, please, I'm beggin' on my knees
I just can't take no more of Billy Ray!

Don't play that song, that achy-breaky song,
You know I hate that song a bunch
And if you play that song, that achy-breaky song
It might just-a make me lose my lunch..."
