There are certain Doper names that remind me of songs. For example:

**Purplecrackwhore** reminds me of _Jimmy Crack Corn_: “Purplecrackwhore, and I don’t care!”

**poopah chalupa** reminds me (for some reason) of _After the Lovin’_: “Well I sing you a song / Poopah chalupa”

Anyone else?

Because nobody ever thinks of cutsey songs to go with my user name! Pout.

Coldfire’s name reminds of this song I heard once…wonder what that was…

Poopah Chalupa…I always here that name in the Copa Cabana song. At the Poopah, Poopah Chalupa…

She seems to have a DigitalMuse, yeah!  
Invisible Touch

Jack Batty reminds me of The Monster Mash. Dunno why, could be the “Batty” part of his username.  
I have, on occasion, sung Jimmy Nipples name to the tune of “Johnny Angel”.

Yeah, but it’s never been done with a song about **me[** in it before, Biggirl.

Your name makes me think of:

_Big Girls, they don’t cry-eye-eye…_

I’m probably pronouncing her name wrong, but Hamadryad’s name is sung in my head to the tune of the old Muppet’s “munomuna” song:  
\*  
Hamadryad

Hamadryad  
do doo do do  
Hamadryad

I’m sorry Tater. Your name doesn’t remind me of a song. It sorta reminds me of. . . school lunch.

Johnny L.A.'s name brings a few songs to mind.

Or, as George Carlin would say, “Tots, tits! Tits, tots! Tatertots…Tatertits!” As part of his the 7 words you can’t say on television.

So see? you _do_ have a connection out there! Quit pouting!

I mean, come on. Welfy? What can you make out of that?

Johnny L.A. makes me think of Johnny Lang, but I don’t know what songs he sings…I also think of “Johnny B Goode”

Globe-Trotter, with you I think of the Harlem Globetrotters song! “Do do do do do-do do, do do do do do do…”

Tatertot: “Addicted to Spuds” by Weird Al, a parody of “Addicted to Love” 🙂 … “Might as well face it, I’m addicted to spuds!”

The Globetrotter song is Sweet Georgia Brown. It has words, but I don’t know 'em.

If we were doing our real names, I’d have 2 - “Michelle” and “The Wild Wild West”…

But I can’t come up with anything for my nick… Tho the syllables fit with “Frere Jacques”

That’s easy. Think Johnny Mathis singing “Alfie”:

“What’s it all about, Welfy?”  
“blah blah blah la da da dee dee dee da dee da…”  
(any one know the rest?)  
My name is already a song 😛  
“When I awoke, the Dire Wolf (600 pounds of sin),  
Was grinning at my window, all I said was ‘Come on in’”
