Oh GAWD! I frellllling hate this commercial.
And now I cannot get this song out of my head.
I guess it is time for the Peanut Butter Jelly Time song - the antidote to all other annoying songs.
They allow smoking at your gym???
Thank you sooooo much for getting this stupid song stuck in my head for the past hour.
That’s when a smoke was a smoke, I believe.
(Or were you being funny?)
All these posts regarding my Mellancamp reference for nothing.
That’s when a sport was a sport
I never would have guessed.
“You put the lime in the Coke, you nut?”
Eww. In my day, we put Jack Daniels in the Coke, and we damn well liked it. Lime. Bleh.
wonderwench, I see your dancing banana and raise you a llama.
So there.
It saves time, too, now that I think about it. Add rum and instant Cuba Libre. No more looking for a lime.
I have to concur that the Muppets version of that tune was the best. Right up there with Manama for tunes that stick in your brain.
manamana-do-dooo-do-do-do…
sorry.
I like it, it’s not often a commercial can make me bust out laughing.
Don’t worry audiobottle I don’t enjoy cola at all so it’s all good, I’ll just groove to the jingle for free.
That is really horrible. I love it!
I see your llama and raise you a Hamster Dance
Aw, I’m gonna miss ol’ Harry. Pal of John Lennon, he also wrote the theme to The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, Everybody’s Talkin from Midnight Cowboy and Me And My Arrow. His stuff was covered by the Yardbirds, Blood, Sweat and Tears, The Turtles, Three Dog Night and Badfinger. Nilsson Schmilsson was completely enjoyable, not so much because of Coconut but more so for Jump Into The Fire. I had no idea he was dead. Big bummer.
I’ll see your Hamster Dance and raise you I Love Egg

Sorry, lieu, Harry didn’t write “Everybody’s Talkin’” - that honor goes to Fred Neil. And Badfinger didn’t cover him, he covered them - it was their “Without You” that went to #1 worldwide.
I’ve got all of his recordings, and four years ago, my wife and I went to Harryfest in Los Angeles. People from all over the world who loved Harry enough to travel to LA gathered there. We went to the defunct RCA studios where he recorded, met engineers, producers and actors who worked with him, had a great get-together at the home of his son, Zak… it was a magical kind of vacation that can never happen again.

Oh, dear Og. You win.
I used to lust after you.
Wasn’t this song used as the theme for a very short-lived medical sitcom, I’m thinking sometime in the 70’s? Can’t dredge up the title, but Matt Frewer (Freuer? something like that) played on of the lead doctors.
You’re thinking of a short lived but hilarious (IMHO) sticom called Doctor Doctor, but I believe the theme was the “doctor doctor, give me the news” riff.
As for all of you who have the coconuts burning a hole in your brain, be thankful you weren’t raising kids when Shari Lewis and Lambchop were on PBS singing
This is the song that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friend…

This is the ***stupidest * ** damn song I’ve ever heard in my life. I am 35, so Tim McGraw can’t be more than 2 years older than me at most, and I can damn guarantee you that a screw was a fuck for as long as I’ve been able to talk. I suspect that before either Tim or I were born, when the very first screw was invented, the inventor looked at it and went :dubious: “Heh heh!”
Why the hell is McGraw doing this horrifying old fogey impersonation on the one hand, reminiscing about fried bologna sandwiches and bitching about the kids who are using that newfangled hippy-hoppy slang like “screw” and “I’m down with that,” and then on the other hand doing duets with Nelly?! Augh! Someone stop him!

Dangit fish, apparently you’re quite right on that. I knew Harry got the '70 Grammy for it and in discussions we’d given him credit for being the writer as well. Thanks, always nice to meet another fan.
