That song reminds me of aliens. I think it’s a certain instrument in the downbeat.
I know this is hijack but Joe K, your sig would be hilarious…except Mary McCartney died of breast cancer before Paul ever met that Lennon boy.
Hey, Lucki, it’s better than having the theme song from “The Love Boat” stuck in your head. (Like I did for three weeks.)
The cure for a song stuck in your head is to hold someone firmly by the shoulders and yell the offensive song at them. This will transfer the song to them. The drawback to this cure? The person you transfer the song to must be a friend.
This happened to a co-worker of mine. He had the barney song stuck in his head. He called to another co-worker, ‘Could you come out into the hall for a minute?’ Next thing we heard was a very loud and off key rendition of the barney song. The co-worker came back in dazed and confused (but not in a led zepplin way). My friend almost earned a ride in the white van wearing a wrap around sport coat.
Those are the risks…
I actually like the ketchup song but will not learn the dance as it is all I can do to walk any more without tripping over my own two feet.
[sub] I love Crowded House, and also just got a copy of A Hard Day’s Night on DVD, and am not going to hell. Right?Right?[/sub]
Hell, I’ve been tryin to get this song out of my head for over 20 years.
*Ah, everybody get on the floor, let’s dance
Don’t fight the feeling give yourself a chance
Shake, shake, shake - shake, shake, shake
Shake your booty, shake your booty
Oh, shake, shake, shake - shake, shake, shake
Shake your booty, shake your booty
Oh, you can, you can do well, very well
Your love can stand the world, I can tell
Oh, shake, shake, shake - shake, shake, shake
Shake your booty, shake your booty
Oh, shake, shake, shake - shake, shake, shake
Shake your booty, shake your booty…*
Oh great. I had the Ketchup song stuck in my head from reading this thread [ooh, that rhymes], so I tried your little trick but got The Girl From Ipanema mixed up with Copa Cabana…now I have THAT stuck in my head.
Damn my feeble brain!
…at the Copa…Copa Cabana…sings off-key
Steve Wright, Blowero and Broken Doll:
My apologies…I work at a commercial radio station (thankfully not affiliated with one of the villainous corporations mentioned earlier), and when you get every horrible political spot and badly-produced/annoying advertisement stuck in your head all the time, you take any relief you can get.
My problem is that I invariably get the version of “Ipanema” that plays on the elevator in The Blues Brothers and outside the elevator in Mallrats stuck in my head…but it is preferable to hearing children badly singing campaign jingles.
Trust me. (shuddering)
Or what I realized I was whistling as I walked through the grocery store yesterday - If I only had a bran from the Wizard of Oz.
That’d be a brain, not a bran
big difference there.
If I had a bran, I’d be regular.
Damn you, Lsura! Now I know what’ll pop into my head every time I go into the breakfast cereal aisle looking for my two scoops of raisins.
Delta-9, you are evil! How could you inflict that on me?
However, the “Girl From Ipanema” treatment seems to be working. Fortunately, I like that song. Maybe I should just fire up iTunes…
Three weeks?
I think I’d have to shoot myself in the head.
Oh, and I just listened to “The Ketchup Song”, and I like. Quite a lot, actually. It’d make a great mambo number.
Speaking of the Ketchup Song…
A few months ago I saw something my sister had downloaded from the Internet…a cartoon Spiderman dancing to the Ketchup Song! It doesn’t sound that funny to begin with, but when I saw it I laughed my ass off!
I don’t have a link, nor do I know of any way to go about getting a link. Does anyone else here know what I’m talking about? Or am I just crazy?
Well, the girl’s cute, anyway.
Y’know, the one with the boobs.
What?
Dammit!!! So, I’m up on a house roofing today and YEP you guessed it. I’m gonna set that damned scarecrow on fire
and his little dog too. Thanks Lsura…:rolleyes:
You all should have been there the day I was playing cards with MIL and SIL and every so often, and totally without conscious will, I would sing, “JAM to the mutha!” I’m surprised that I survived to tell the tale, to be honest. Why they didn’t shoot me that day I’ll never know. No jury in the world would have convicted them!
And that’s all that I know of that song, too. Nearly drove ME nuts before I got it out of my head!
Maybe they figured that was punishment enough…
Oh, you think you have problems? HA!
There was a thread a week or so ago in Cafe Society about cheesy songs. Being a conneisuer (sp?) of such, I wrote out a list of my favorite cheese classics. Someone (I could look it up if necessary) mentioned an old song called Never Been to Me, which I just barely remembered. So I “looked it up” and I CAN’T GET THE FREAKIN’ THING OUT OF MY HEAD!!! FOR OVER A WEEK!!!
God, what did I do to deserve such torment???
I guess that i do not have it too bad when the radio in my head always plays Weather With You and Crowded House.
