OK, it’s time to bring out the big guns:

It’s a small world after all,  
It’s a small world after all,  
It’s a small world after all,  
It’s a small, small world.

I have three children. Two of them are under 6.

We own many Disney movies.

You people don’t scare me AT ALL.

Then again…despite this thread, the three songs competing for space in my brain are:

- The Westminster Bells (that would be the clock chime. Yes, stuck in my head. Shut up.)

- Turkey in the Straw (I don’t know why. My life is Hell.)

- Angel of the Morning (Which means I have to hate Siege forever.)

For months after that movie came out, that was stuck in my head.

This also haunted my childhood:

I’m largely immune to them now, because my retail job exposes me to a wide variety of really terrible music – tuning it out is a survival skill.

Well, before this thread, these were the ones stuck in my head…

"If I could walk on water,  
If I could find some way to prove,  
If I could walk on water would you believe in me?  
My love’s so true.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na,  
Na na na na na na na na na na."

-Eddie Money.  
OR  
“She bop, she bop-a-be-bop.  
I bop, you bop-a-they-bob,  
We bop, he bop-a-lu-bop,  
I don’t even understand…”

-Cyndi Lauper.

I was getting ready to be real unhappy with y’all til I saw this! I like Cyndi. Thank your lucky stars, because I was going to post, “Lady In Re-e-e-ed…is dancing with meeee…”

Now if I can only concentrate…“We-hell I see him every night in tight blue jeans…” 🙂

Y’all suck.

But, if you thought the original version of “Can’t Get U Outta My Head” was bad, you should hear [this]([http://www.slippop.com/noise/SlipPop](http://www.slippop.com/noise/SlipPop) - Cant Get U Outta My Head.mp3).
