“Blue Moon of Kentucky” for me (the Bill Monroe version). God, I hate that song, but I can’t knock it out of my head. I heard it on TV two nights ago but it didn’t take up permanent residency in my brain until this morning. I tried singing it in a failed attempt to exorcise it, but that served only to get my dogs a-howling’.
Rockin’ Robin. My Uncle called this morning and as always when he got off the phone he had to sing it. He has always done this just to annoy me since my name is Robyn. I got off the phone and stormed around for awhile then while making the lunch I caught myself singing it. Now my son is singing it too. It’s better than yesterday I suppose, yesterday it was Rock Me Amedeus.
It’s the item of the week

the item - of the - week
Priced so low
You can’t say no
It’s the -item- of the week
Sing it softer!
It’s the item of the week
the item of the week
the item - of the - week
Priced so low
You can’t say no
It’s the -item- of the week
Now again, this time in your head!

Did that supplant yours, bibliophage? :D)
It could be worse…
Space Truckin’- Deep Purple. But only the refrain.
“Woodstock”, the CSNY version.
We are star dust
we are golden
we are caught in the devil’s bargain
and we got to get ourselves
back to the gaaaaaaaaarden
Funny you should ask…but for the last couple days I’ve had this Xmas song stuck in my head and I don’t even know what it is. I’m positive I never heard it until this year, but it sounds like an oldish/1950’s type song. I was trying to sing some of it for my husband to see if he knew it and he was cracking up at the absurdity of it and didn’t believe me when I told him it was a real song and I kept hearing it in stores all month.
Lyrics are along the lines of:
Well it’s the holiday season…
(it’s the holiday season…)
And Whoop-de do*
and dickory dock
and a christmas tree, and santa’s knee
etc, etc
also something about old saint Nick, and a peppermint stick.
- I swear to God the guy sings “Whoop-de doo!” Isn’t that crazy? It’s all bouncy and swing-ey like “holly, jolly Christmas” but I have no idea who sings it or what the name is. I’m randomly dl’ing songs off Napster trying to find it so I can MAKE IT GO AWAY!
I’ve been a wild rover for many a year,
and I spent all me money on whiskey and beer;
and now I’m returning with gold in great store
and I ne’er shall be called wild rover no more.
And it’s no, nay, never (clap clap clap clap)
no nay never no more, will I play the wild rover,
no nay never, no more…
I went to an alehouse that I used to frequent
and I told the landlady me money was spent.
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay,
such a custom as yours I can get any day.
(chorus)
I took from my pockets ten sovereigns bright
and the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight.
She said, I’ve got whiskey and wines of the best
and those words that I spoke, sure, were only in jest.
(chorus)
I’ll go back to my parents, confess what I’ve done
and I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And if they accept me as ofttimes before
then I ne’er shall be called wild rover no more.
(chorus)
Kirsty MacColl’s cover of the Kinks’ “Days”. Since I heard about her untimely death on Monday, it’s been playing over and over on my mental jukebox.
Guster’s “Barrel Of A Gun”
My son rented a heap of Pokemon videos last week, right before the big snowstorm. Since it was too cold to get out much, he watched them repeatedly. I can’t get the Pokemon theme song out of my head! I was in the next room, at my computer, but I heard it often enough that it burned its way into my subconscious…“Gotta Catch 'em All…”
<whimper>Please, make it go away.</whimper>
I’ve got two alternating throughout the day.
-
The theme from Sanford and Son
-
Black Betty by Ram Jam
Kirsty MacColl again:
“There’s a guy works down the chip shop swears he’s Elvis
But he’s a liar and I’m not sure about you”
A good one, for once: Sly & the Family Stone, “Hot Fun in the Summertime”.
"Sometimes I feel…
Like I’ve been tied…
To the Whipping Post.
Good Lord, I feel like I’m dyyyyin’"
(The Allman Brothers band version.)
Before this week, the song for months was Dido’s ‘Thank You’, from ‘Stan’ by Eminem
“Tea’s stone cold I’m wondering why…”
Jay-Z - “Money Ain’t a Thang”
[rapping]In tha’ Ferrari and Jaguar, switchin’ four lanes.
Top down, screamin’ out “MONEY AIN’T A THANG!!”[/rapping]
I sicken myself sometimes.
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Christmaaaaaaas
The snow’s coming down
Christmaaaaaaas
I’m watching it fall
Christmaaaaaaas
Lots of people around
Christmaaaaaaas
Baby, please come home
Christmaaaaaaas
(The U2 version) It’s ok. I don’t mind it being stuck there.
Thanks to the Schoolhouse Rock Thread I’ve been singing Conjunction Junction and The Preamble to the Constitution all day.
“The Lonely Goatherd” from the Sound of Music.
Yodel-lay-heeeeee
Yodel-lay-heeeeee
Yodel-lay-HE-HEEEEEE
Yodel-lay-HEE!
Ah-ha-ha-ha endless yodelayho
endless brainless song
(the kiddies sing along)
Yo-ho-ho-ho stupid senseless brain noise
issuing all day like spam!
Happy are they, laydeo-ladeyleo
O lady o hodelay-hee-ho
(soon the DUET will become a TRIO…)
Like two personalities wasn’t enough.
I can’t take much more.
Duct tape, please. The three-inch roll.
Have a Holly Jolly Christmas! It’s the best time of the year! I dont know if there’ll be snow! but have a cup of cheer…
