> [@brittekland](#): > > I had my [Lumberjack Song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_W_W-VZBQU&feature=related) days. Friends of mine, many years back, rewrote this for another profession. Unfortunately, I only remember two verses: Ooooooh I’m a prostitute and I’m okay, I work all night and I sleep all day! On Sundays I beg pardon, upon the preacher’s lap He was much more forgiving, until he got the clap. Ooooooh I’m a prostitute and I’m okay, I work all night and I sleep all day! On Thursdays I go shopping, at the super-mart There’s hardly room for two of us, and groceries in the cart! Ooooooh I’m a prostitute and I’m okay, I work all night and I sleep all day! ---

That would go well with the Ice Bear thread. ---

> [@aruvqan](#): > > [BumbleBee Tuna](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky53zmbIyec) jingle. HAHAHA! I almost included that one but I wasn’t sure how many people would know what I was talking about. ---

I always seem to be stuck with “Isn’t It a Lovely Day” from _Top Hat_. Not even one of my real favorites. ---

“Show Me the Way to Go Home”. I blame my dad, who often recited > [@](#): > > I’m tired and I want to go to bed > I had a little drink about an hour ago > And it went right to my head long before I ever saw _Jaws_. At various times, I also whistle the march from _The Great Escape_ or swing versions of “Jingle Bells” and “Old MacDonald”. ---

Forbidden Broadway’s parody of Love Changes Everything from the musical Aspects of Love. The song is entitled [I Sleep With Everyone](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP4h9k2a-YY) One time I was singing it while walking, leading a young guy walking pass me to comment “You don’t have to advertise it.” ---

> [@brittekland](#): > > I regularly find myself humming/singing [Three Degree’s “When Will I see You Again”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R878g-SppU) but that song is just so not me. I even sort of dance the moves too and that’s so disturbing but I keep finding myself doing it. > > Oh and not as much but often I get up humming Paul Anka’s “Having my baby” (as I mentioned in another thread). > > Do you suffer from any? Now, if you went around singing “Willow’s Song/The Siren Song” from _The Wicker Man_, that would be a fairly perfect OP name/post combination. 🙂 As to me - I’ve been known to randomly sing “The Sun Is A Mass of Incandescent Gas” and “Birdhouse In Your Soul” (the former covered by They Might Be Giants, the latter written by them) and snatches of the Man of La Mancha soundtrack. ---

> [@Enginerd](#): > > About once a week I find myself whistling Roger Miller’s [Whistle Stop](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VPpw1jN-mE) from the Disney Robin Hood film. This is one of the two things I whistle most often. The other is a section from _The Barber of Seville_ overture, starting [two minutes in](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OloXRhesab0#t=2m8s). I’ve also been singing Voltaire’s [When You’re Evil](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTuhuon1j6U) quite frequently lately.
