I don’t know how many of you watch Mad TV, but they did a skit a few weeks ago and sang the song “Howd you get to be so sweet?”  
Every once in a while that stupid song gets stuck in my head and I can’t get rid of it.  
Well, tonite my wonderful husband found it on Napster!  
I now have it stuck in my head again and can get rid of it!!!  
So, if any of you want it you can have it. I am offically passing it on.  
And the rules state that once I pass it on whoever gets it keeps it until they pass it on.  
Kinda like the torture your fellow doper thread!

Thank You, and have a nice day! 😃

I’m still mopping up the last vestiges of _Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer_.

See dear, that is the whole idea! I don’t have it anymore, you do and now you have to pass it on to someone else.

Good luck. 😃

Sorry **Kricket** , I tried to take it, but unfortunately “Wild Thing” is so firmly implanted in my brain that your song just doesn’t wanna stay.

Oh the insanity!

I’ve had _Little Red Riding Hood_ by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs stuck there on and off for a couple days. Anybody want it? Please?

I have GOT to stop listening to the oldies station.

Well, **Crunchy Frog** , guess I will rid you of that song.

You owe me.

To my own horror, I found myself singing along to Jewel in the car the other day before I realized what I was doing.

And then, later that evening, while preparing dinner, I could hear it oozing through the holes in my brain. Before I knew it, I was singing it again.

_Whooooo will say-ee-yave your sooooooouuulll?_

I was almost ready to plunge into my ears the first utensil that popped out of the drawer. Please, understand, that to me, singing a Jewel song is akin to a vegan eating a bloody raw hamburger wrapped in bacon. I don’t know how this happened, but it eventually went away.

Until I opened this thread and remembered. It’s starting to come back. Somebody please take it!

I am not willing, however, to assume Hanson duties…

I’ll take Fish Heads any day just to get rid of that really stupid song by Ba-Ha Men, “Who Let the Dogs out”?

I’m PLEADING with you… Please take this song off my mind.

I currently have **TWO** songs fighting for dominance in my head.

Evil ditty #1: Britney Spears, “Oops I did it again”. I don’t even think I’ve ever heard this song but I’ve got the title part swirling around my noggin.

Ooops I did it again something something something  
(repeated endlessly for days)

Not as evil ditty #2: “Welcome to the Big Blue House” by The Bear in the Big Blue House. It’s a little embarrassing to find yourself singing this one in the store.

Welcome welcome welcome to the big blue house  
The door is open, come on in!

Thanks **Mamapotomus** , now I have Britney on the brain. And like you, only that phrase. :mad:

Anyone want Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung”, the incomplete version?

\*Aqualung, my friend,  
Don’t you la-la-la uneasy,  
you poor old sod,  
you see it’s only me.

Something alone,  
lala-la-la-la-la-la-la  
Etc.  
Etc.\*

And I love Jethro Tull. But the little voices just won’t sing the right words.

Okay, I will take the bear song since I have kids and they wouldn’t think it odd for me to be singing it.  
Now someone needs to take Flowers on the Wall.

Counting flowers on the wall  
that don’t bother me at all.  
Playing solitaire till dawn  
with a deck of 51.

I do have the whole song and I am willing to give it away to the next poster!
