[QUOTE=Asimovian] This is too easy: Ladies and gentlemen, reintroducing [Tunak Tunak Tun](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAN7Ts0xBo)! To quote an unknown source, “If this don’t make your booty move, your booty must be dead.” [/QUOTE] Anyone know what this song says? Again, a good effort, but I don’t know if it’ll get stuck. I’ll let it fester and see what happens tonight/tomorrow, though. ---

On a related note, I’m laghing my balls off to [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgrGRcjyzVw&feature=related) video. No, seriously. They popped out and now I have to fashion a new nugget satchel out of clay. The only thing that can make that video better is Borat. ---

[QUOTE=DfrntBreign] [This song](http://youtube.com/watch?v=TGk7Bn50KP4) was playing on my stereo when I opened this thread. Every time I hear it, it moves in for a couple of days. But maybe it’s just me. [/QUOTE] Pretty flippin’ sweet. You’ll get no quarrel out of me, but I don’t know what’ll get stuck in my melon. We shall see. ---

But they _are_. [/QUOTE] You’re right about Sneak Preview. Out of those three, that’s got the best chance, I believe. Maybe I should extend the game to my girlfriend. Let me see if I can get any of these stuck in her head. ---
