Flagpole Sita (or something like that).

Paranoia, paranoia  
everybody’s comin’ to get me. . .

I’m not sick, but I’m not well  
And it’s a sin, cause I’m in Hell.

Oops  
I  
Did it again  
Played with your heart  
Got lost in the game  
Ooo baby baby  
Oops  
You  
Think I’m in love  
That I’m sent from above  
I’m not! that! innocent

(Please, someone come and shoot me now.)

To the lurker that tipped me off via e-mail to the singer and title of my haunting ditty:

Andy Williams, “Happy Holidays/the Holiday Season”

Oh man, I’m rocking out to it as we speak. Life is good!

A song off of Enya’s new album : I think the song is called Adios. Repetitive and works its way into your brain

**Now You’re A Man** by DVDA, from the Orgazmo Soundtrack.

\*What makes a man, is it the power in his hands? Is it his quest for glory?  
Give all he’s got, to get to the top, so we can know his story!

Now you’re a man **MAN**  
A man, man, man.  
Now you’re a man **MAN**  
A man-y, man-y, man.  
Now you’re a man **MAN**  
Manity, man, man, man, man, man, man, maaaan!  
You are now a man, you’re a man…now you’re a man.

Live it, live it!

What makes the man? Is it the woman in his arms, just cuz she has big titties?  
Or is it the way he fights every day? No it’s probably the titties.

Now you’re a man **MAN**  
A man, man, man.  
Now you’re a man **MAN**  
A man-y, man-y, man.  
Now you’re a man **MAN**  
Manity, man, man, man, man, man, man, maaaan!  
You are now a man, you’re a man…M-A-N…now you’re a man.\*

I LOVED that series!

Anyway, on the OP, for days I’ve had selections from G&S’s the Mikado stuck in my brain. Especially the songs for which I don’t know all the words. :rolleyes:

That was The Electric Company. Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman, I believe.

“the Hokey Pokey”

Grr.

I can get it out of my head, but the cure is worse than the disease.

- 

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  
\*

Shit!

**Don’t Stop 'Til You Get Enough** - Michael Jackson

The worst part is I puzzle over the words.  
I have a lyrics sheet that reads like this, but I can never hear that:

Bridge 3 times:  
_Keep on with the force don’t stop  
Don’t stop 'til you get enough_
