I have a problem I’ve had this song going around my head for the last two days, I need someone to take it off my hands. :ahem: “My name is Michael, I’ve got a nickel, I’ve got a nickel shiney and new I’m gonna buy me all kinds of candy That’s what I’m gonna do” Thank you for your co-operation Keith ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ChiefScott \* > \*\*Someone else, besides me, needs to get laid. \*\* Well, so do I. Sex life notwithstanding, though (now THERE’S a funny word when written!), there’s a simple way to get that song out of your head: Replace it with somethng else. (I shouldn’t do this, 'coz Dopers coast-to coast and abroad will hate me for it) I use “It’s a Small World After All.” If you can’t remember the words, they go: It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears. It’s a world of hope and a world of fears. It’s the love that we share, Anytime, anywhere, It’s a small world after all. It’s a small world after all, It’s a small world after all, It’s a small world after all, It’s a small, small world. (Repeat until friends and family call the men in the white coats) ---

blessedwolf, you are evil and you must be stopped. The only song that works every time and is not totally unbearable itself is “Faith” by George Michael. It’s like a moist towelette for the brain. ---

I once mentioned JUST the title of the song to a manager at the Applebee’s where I worked, and it was two months before he stopped singing, humming and/or whistling it. how you say? Mwa-ha-ha!! ---
