Ha! That’s the one line in the whole song (actually called “Colored Spade”) _least_ likely to get you in deep trouble. ---

I really hate to do this… So before I mention the all time stuck-in-your-head king, I’ll offer a remedy: I’ve found I can usually knock any song out of my head with the old (Johnny Carson era) Tonight Show Theme Anyway - I only actually need to give the last two words of the line… HEY MICKY! 😃 ---

I just got whacked over in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=313150) with “Informer … _gibberish blah blah_” I don’t know if it’s better or worse not to know the words. And **Klaus** , I used to be immune to “Mickey”, until I learned the words in Spanish … _O Mickey, como estas Como estas Te gustas mas Ay Mickey!_ ---

I’ve been going around for days singing randomly either “Everybody just wants to get high/Sit and watch a perfect world go by” (Tim McGraw, “Drugs or Jesus”) or “She wants to take you to the city lights/Take you into paradise/And drag you through the razorwire/Where your fear becomes desire” (Mesh, “Razorwire”) I can’t stop. I am compelled to alternate these lines. ---

I believe the next line is “You no say Daddy me Snow I’m gonna blame.” By the way, now that’s stuck in my head. And I will have my revenge. ---

From Electric Demons in Love by the Electric Six: “My baby’s in the kitchen and she’s cookin’ up supper She drank all the wine and now she’s drinkin some more” Thank the gods it’s a good song.
