(Heh, I hope Muffin and dropzone see this. If they do, they’re screwed for the day, too.)
I used to work 3rd shift where my co-workers and myself developed the most evil game to keep each other awake. Someone would start by humming a bar to some dumb assed song like those mentioned above. The next person would respond with a song that is stickier. The winner is whoever comes up with a song that is so gooey and penetrating that no-one can think of another song.
It would take days to recover from these bouts.
Even now I have flashbacks of the My Three Sons theme or the Pink Panther theme.
1:
Goobers, Raisinettes
Chocolate-covered treats
Raisinettes and Goobers
Mighty good to eat!
2:
There comes a time
In every man’s life
When he gets tired
Of foolin’ arouououound
Jugglin’ hearts
In a three-ring circus
Will someday
Drive his body
Down to the grououound
etc., etc.,
MAKE IT GO AWAY
We had this assembly last year where this singer came in and sang these really strange songs. One of them had a phrase that the audience was suposed to sing back to him.
“GREAT BIG IDOL WITH THE GOLDEN HEAD!”
<whimpers> Please make it stop! Then, to top that off, this other singing lady came last week and sang this song with the refrain:
“Peas, peas, peas, peas, eating gooberpeas. Kiss our wives and sweathearts to gobble gooberpeas.”
That one’s a bit irritating. And now somebody just walked by humming the Meow Mix theme. Great. I really wish I could just turn my brain off for just a minute so I could have some peace and quiet.
One word. Kokomo.
Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick, that song is like Krazy Glue. I need only hear a note or two, and I’m stuck with it for days.
Nice rendition of Holy, Holy, Holy, matt_mcl that’s EXACTLY how you sing it. Brings back memories of my old Job’s Daughter days. Amusing use of bum bums, as well.
I’ve always heard that the way to get rid of a song is to sing “The Farmer in the Dell” because that one won’t stick in your head.
Works for me.
