I’ve heard you should sing ‘The Farmer in the Dell’. Apparently, it will not only banish the offending song, it won’t stick either!
Good luck!
The farmer in the dell,
The farmer in the dell,
Hi-ho the dairy, oh!
The farmer in the dell.
The farmer takes a wife,
etc.
A woman needs four animals in her life: A mink in the closet, a Jaguar in the garage, a tiger in the bedroom, and an ass to pay for it all.
—Zsa Zsa Gabor
Billy don’t be a hero
Don’t take a chance with your life.
Billy don’t be a hero
Come home and make me a wife.
This song and “Seasons in the Sun” are linked in my mind in some sort of perverted Vietnam-era pop protest (along with the “One Tin Soldier” song–theme for the movie "Billy Jack), or pre-adolescent drama death fixation. Thanks for reminding me of them.
I’m so old that when I retrieve some songs from the cobwebs of my brain, I can still hear the metallic “clunk clunk” of the 8 track switching tracks…right in the middle of the song!!
Great invention, those 8 tracks.
BTW, Bluepony, I always thought it was “Dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen.” And isn’t the refrain from “Billy, Don’t be A Hero:” “Come back and make me your wife.”
I can’t remember where I put my keys, but I still have every Abba song ever written firmly lodged in my memory bank.
I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE, I’M BLUE DA-BE-DEE-DA-BE-DIE!!
