Lovin’ you is easy cause you’re beautiful  
Makin’ love with you is all I wanna do  
Lovin’ you is more than just a dream come true  
And everything that I do is out of lovin’ you  
La la la la la la la… do do do do do [high pitched scream]

Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair…

Hey hey Paula, I want to marry you.  
Hey Paul, I want to marry you to.

It’s the little old lady from Pasedena. Go granny, go granny, go granny go.

That song wore a groove in my brain during the night…aaaauuuggghhhhhhhh!!!:eek:  
“Somewhere out there  
someone’s saying a prayer  
that somedaaaay we’ll be together  
in that big somewhere out there.”

"I…started a joke  
that started the whole world…crying.  
Ohhh if I’d only seeeeeennnn  
that the joke was on meeeeee!! OOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOhhhhhh!  
And I…finally died,  
and started the whole world…living.  
Ohhh if I’d only seeeeeeeennnn  
that the joke was on meeeeeeeee… "  
(sung with pinched nose)

“I heard my mommmmmmmm-ma crrrrry.  
I heard her pray the night Chicago died…”

“Why do birds suddenly appear  
every time you are near?  
Just like me  
they long to be—  
close to youuuuuuuuu.”  
(or, they might be turkey buzzards)

There, I think I’m okay now…😉

This is the song that never ends  
Yes it goes on and on, my friends  
Some people… STAR-ted singing it  
Not knowing what it was  
And they’ll continue singing it forever  
Just because  
This is the song that never ends  
Yes it goes on and on, my friends…

Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting \<HUHH!\>…

Who can take a sunrise  
Sprinkle it with dew  
Cover it in chocolate  
And a miracle or two  
The candy man  
The candy man can …

Daddy please don’t, it wasn’t his fault  
He means so much to me  
Daddy please don’t, we’re gonna get married  
Just you wait and see  
Run, Joey, Run

S-S-S-S A-A-A-A F-F-F-F E-E-E-E T-T-T-T Y-Y-Y-Y  
You can dance if you want to…

AAAAGGGHHHH, my brain is melting, need NPR fast!

_Oops!_ by Britney Spears has been driving me nuts. The reason is that the guy who sits across from me at work sings it all the time, along with a number of house dance tunes—not really my cup of meat.

My coworker inspired me to write this:

Don’t whistle while you work,  
You stupid effing jerk.  
Since you’re so near  
I have to hear  
You whistle while you work.

Please don’t sing while here.  
It’s murder on my ear!  
My face just pales  
When adult males  
Start singing Britney Spears.

A little bit of Monica in my life  
A little bit of Erica by my side  
A little bit of Rita is all I need  
A little bit of Tina is what I see  
A little bit of Sandra in the sun  
A little bit of Mary all night long  
A little bit of Jessica here I am  
A little bit of you makes me your man
