THE THREAD THAT WOULD NOT DIE (aka Songs That Drive You Crazy)

[Lori Basiewicz]

Why is it some songs have the power to stick into your head and play themselves out over and over again. We're not talking about tunes that you grew up on here or even ones you particularly enjoy.

For instance:

I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come. They got a crazy way of lovin' there, and I'm gonna get me some.

[batyler65]

Lori, Remember that column I wrote where after I posted the link everyone kindly "gave" me their songs?

This is the factual article that inspired it:
content.health.msn.com/co.../67505.htm (http://content.health.msn.com/content/article/61/67505.htm)

And now, I'm avoiding this thread or there's no telling what I'll get stuck in my head. :teeth

[Betty W01]

Hey, Barb, come here, I need to tell you a secret... http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_4_19v.gif

Ray, you got that goofy Elvis song stuck in my head three DAYS ago and I can't shake it....

"TAaaaaaaaake Myyyyyyy Haaaand....

Thanks a LOT..:rollin

Slightly neurotic people also seemed to suffer more.

You are too good at this game. And now, Bud wants to dress up in knee pants and do that funny skipping dance.

And, more recently:

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,
cryin's not for me...

:ack Listen to that once, it's permanently embedded in your brain.

Not to mention,

Her name was Lola,
she was a showgirl,
with yellow feathers in her hair
and a dress cut down to there...


Ever had multiple songs stuck in your head at once? Horrible, horrible thing.

[batyler65]

ugh -- I have got to stop reading this thread.

EEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :head

I don't know what it is about Manilow, but I had the same problem with all of his songs.

[Betty W01]

Sorry, but NOTHING beats hearing the song Copacabana in Miami (at a Cuban wedding reception being thrown right down the street from the nightclub Copacabana) while doing a wild salsa with the bride and her bridesmaids, to get a song so deeply into your neural synapses that only passing time (or elective surgery) can remove it.

"At the Copa, Copacabana,
the hottest spot north of Havana..."

EEEIIIIIIEEEEEEEEIEEEEEEEIIIIEEEEEEE...

[MacAl Stone]

"Don't take your luuuuuv.(dooby-doo, down down)..away from me (dum dooby doo down, down)

Skyrockets in flight
Afternoon delight...

Hey Hey Good Lookin
Whatcha' got cookin
How's about cookin somethin up with meeeeeeee
I've got a two dollar bill and a. . .. :rolleyes

It just won't leave me alone! Even my kids rush to turn it off when it comes on the radio because they don't want to hear me singing it the rest of the day.

I think the worst ever is that blankety blank song about "Don't mess with my toot toot". . .the person who wrote that should be jailed for causing mental anguish!

[maestrowork]

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be

Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,

Not the Carpenters!! DH plays them at dinner every so often... ARGHHHHHHH. World's best diet. I start thinking about Karen Carpenter starving herself to death, get depressed, can't eat AND have their fricking tunes stuck in my head for days. ARGH!!!!!


:head

[Lori Basiewicz]

:ha

[macalicious731]

Why did you have to bring up "Afternoon Delight"? One of the guys has been humming that ALL THE TIME since we're playing "Anchorman"... :smack

Movie tunes. Wow. Those are truly evil, especially when you hear them 9 times a day when the credits roll. I've got all the songs from Spider-man, Shrek, Harry Potter, etc. etc... and now Anchorman... |I

[ChunkyC]

Betty said 'fricking'....

http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/lol6.gif

[Betty W01]

As Uncle Jim said in the thread about cussing, you need to use the language that is appropriate to your character and her circumstances. Listening to the Carpenters - saying "fricking" - it all works together...

:grin

[ChunkyC]

"And they called it...puppy looo-o-o-ove."

Anything by the Ray Connif(sp?) Singers.

Anything by Yanni.

My all time favorite (as in love to hate) tune:

The instrumental version of The Captain and Tennille's 'Muskrat Love'.

I'd take spooky's scissors to my ears, but the damn tune's already in there... :ack

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

Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet,
singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
She looked good (looked good),
she looked fine (looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine
and I nearly lost my mind

[MacAl Stone]

I have "Bippity Boppity Boo" stuck in my head, this morning, thanks very much Walt Disney and Co...

The ugly part is that I don't really know the words, so my brain keeps doing these sort of nonsense/scat-riffs to fill in the blanks...

"Kalamazoo and witchy-poo, too
and...da da da da da doo doo
put 'em together and what have you got?

[ChunkyC]

Bottles of beer....

Frank's version is inspired by the Greek tragedies. Or that annoying guy on the Keith's beer commercials up here in Canada. You guys in the US get Alexander Keiths? The pride of Nova Scotia? (last sentence must be spoken with heavily cliched Scottish accent)

Barb, can I borrow your whip? And how about some dominatrix lessons?

[batyler65]

Melina,
You can borrow the whip if you can wrestle it away from Bud.

Oh, and you've got to take over all the nagging duties on the weekend progress report... and officially become Ray's keeper (he keeps getting out of that cage. Bad Ray!)

Still want it? (Please? Please?) Oh, and before you ask, Bud is my renegade muse. His hobbies are beer and "nekkid wimmin". He is hard at work on a coin machine that will dispense both. And possibly puddin', he hasn't decided yet.

Barb


You get up every mornin'
from the alarm clock's warnin'
take the eight-fifteen into the city.
There's a whistle up above
and people push and people shove
and all the girls are tryin' to look pretty.

If you ever get annoyed
look at me I'm self employed
I love to work at nothin' all day.

:smack Who started this thread again? They should be forced to listen to all of these songs over and over and over again for creating this chaos . . . Oh, wait a minute. Never mind. Forget I said anything.

[arrowqueen]

We don't have songs about weiners (that's some kind of sausage, I presume?) but we used to have a lovely advert that went:

Bird's Eye Potato Wa...affles,
Waffully versatile!
ooo! ooo!

Unfortunately this is triggered off every time I go down the frozen food aisle in Safeways.

This seems to worry people.

:eek

[LiamJackson]

now THAT's funny. It's amazing how jingles stick with us long after the products have turned to dust.

[ChunkyC]

Just to show I'm not a reverse chauvinist....

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_1_127.gif I'll run then, ok?

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_1_123.gif Not gonna happen.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_1_135.gif Is that a slur about my weight?

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_1_146.gif Okay, so this last one isn't music, but she annoys the living crap out of me.

[Betty W01]

[Paris Hilton] annoys the living crap out of me.

CC, you should thank her, then. Surely, better out than in??

<ducking, running>

[Yeshanu]

that's some kind of sausage, I presume?

aq,

I think frankfurter or hot dog would be correct for you?

Went to see the symphony last night. No words, but they played the "can-can" from Bizet's Carmen.

Does anybody have a can-can dancer smiley?

People were clapping and dancing. It was great.:grin

[HollyB]

Chunky...

Cheers, Yeshanu. Always nice to learn something new.

Oh, wait. Forget I said that...

:gone

[HollyB]

Okay, here's an oldie but a goodie:

The AW Theme song!

Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along

Don't ask me how you ever got this hold on me

I only wanna be with you..."

What IS that? Bay City Rollers or something???

Celebrate good times, Come on!

[wwwatcher]

The song that always makes me cringe and gag is...

Midnight at the oasis
Sing your camel to bed

[rtilryarms]

[contemplating] Should I?
[Reasoning] no, don't
[pondering] but it would be fun
[self honesty] no it wouldn't. It would be mean and nasty.
[agreeing] Yes, of course, you are right, as always

I get that stuck in my head if I get really hungry.

I have another song but I can't remember... I'll post it when I do:teeth

And Barb, I remember certain car trips to Algonquin Park where the kids started at 999... :ack

[Kida Adelyn]

What about this mum?

I'm hungry! I'm thirsty!
I'm tired! my legs hurt!
He hit me! she bit me!
can we watch T.V.?

I just remembered that one. Used to sing it all the time.

[Lori Basiewicz]

ANIMANIACS!

[Yeshanu]

The kid is now doing time in a locked cell... :teeth

That one didn't come from animaniacs, Lori, unless they stole it from me. It's one that I made up for long car trips when the kids would constantly say:

I'm hungry, I'm thirsty...

Well you get the idea. It's right up there with, "Are we there yet?" as far as driving mommy insane is concerned...

[Lori Basiewicz]

There is a song with almost those exact lyrics from the Animaniacs cartoon, Ruth. It's called something along the lines of "Riding In a Car" or something like that.

[Kida Adelyn]

Come on let's play monopoly...

I don't know the rest of the song but that makes it worse. The first line over and over and over... ect.
:smack Out! out! out!:smack

[ChunkyC]

Cary - Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom: Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler.

I remember Robin Williams making fun of how Jim always got to rassle whatever critter happened to be around:

Marlin: "And now, Jim's going to circumcise a waterbuffalo."

[Kida Adelyn]

I read the word waterbuffalo and now I have the water buffalo song stuck in my head. Ah veggitales...


Larry: Everybody's got a water buffalo. Yours is fast but mine is slow. Oh, where we get them, I don't know, but everybody's got a water buffalo! I took my buffalo to the store, Got his head stuck in the door, Spilled some lima beans on the floor, Oh, everybody's got a...
Dr. Archibald: Stop it. Stop! Stop right this instant!
What do you think you're doing?! You can't say everybody's got a water buffalo when everybody does NOT have a water buffalo! We're going to get nasty letters saying, "Where's my water buffalo? Why don't I have a water buffalo?" And are you prepared to deal with that? I don't think so! Just stop being so silly!
Narrator:
This has been silly songs with Larry. Join us next time to hear Larry sing:
Everybody's got a baby kangaroo. Yours is pink, but
mine is blue. Hers was small but then it...
Dr. Archibald:Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!! !!!!!!

[Cary]

Jim Fowler !!! Yeah! Thats the guy !!! I always thought he was so dashing, especially when Marlin was screamin in the background.."Watch out Jim!!! that gators gotta long tail"!!!!
I was always afraid Jimbo was going to be eaten alive in living color, at any moment...uh..that may have been why I was watching....heh..:teeth Carybella

That we got this far

[Cary]

Maestro !!! I never knew you were so hokey !!!! (God love ya!) :ha !! Youve been watchin waaaay too many kids videos....Hey, didja see 'The Village" ?? Awesome It was !!!
I cracked up my girlfirend who went with me to see It.When Joaquin was in bed , (trying to survive after being stabbed ) , I think I may have poked my elbow in her ribs an said something like, "Lemme under those sheets !! Ill save him by God !!"
Shes my friend...she finds me amusing.....Ha!!

PS-And I WOULD have saved him, too !!!

[Yeshanu]

Son gave me a Monty Python CD for my birthday, so...

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas,

And my dollar bills could buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

[MrAngelwithnowings]

Nibbling on sponge cake, watching the sun bake,
All of those tourists covered with oil,
Strumming my six string, on my front porch swing,
Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil.

Chorus:

Wasting away again in Margaritaville,
Searching for my lost shaker of salt,
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.

Don't know the reason that I stayed here all season,
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo,
But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie,
How it got here I haven't a clue.

[maestrowork]

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.

[ChunkyC]

they're beginning to boil
For a moment there, MrA, I thought you were talking about the tourists! :ack

Actually, I work and live in a tourist area and there are days....

[Cary]

Aint paybacks sumthin ?? !!!:ha :ha :ha :ha :ha :ha :ha
Carybelle

[maestrowork]

This has stuck in my head for days now (partially because I sang and recorded it some time ago...)


The way you hold your knife (spookie)
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
no, they can't take that away from me

[batyler65]

Letting the days go by; let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by; water flowing underground
Into the blue again; after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime; water flowing underground.

[Yeshanu]

I'm going to invest in a whomping willow for my front yard...

I'll instruct it to whomp pigeons, chipmunks, and teenaged girls singing like chipmunks. :teeth

[Lori Basiewicz]

Ruth, the whomping willow would only work on the girl (or the pigeons or chipmunks) if they come within it's striking range. Somehow, I don't think the girl you have in mind is that foolish. (I'm not certain how foolish the pigeons or chipmunks might be.)

[maestrowork]

I bet it would work wonders on teenage boys though.

[Yeshanu]

Ray,

Are you saying that boys are more foolish than girls? :grin

[maestrowork]

Stating the obvious again, Ruth?

[Cary]

That was crystal clear for me there, Bubba.... Heh !!!:jump Carybelle

[YenadilPureheart]

I used to work in an office where they played the radio during the day, and I had the great fortune of being almost directly under one of the speakers. There was no way to change the radio station, or turn my speaker down. This was a few years back, and I live in the Cleveland area. The local football team, the browns, had chosen that isidiuos "Who let the Dogs out?" song as its theme song that year. In an effort to boost team spirit, the radio station in question obliged by playing that song four times an hour, every hour, on game days........


I came to loathe fridays.
