>>The Brady Bunch Song....hehehe <<

That was the first one I thought of...next is the Gilligan's Island Song..."a THREEEEEE-HOUURRR tour!"

[Snowy]

Which suddenly reminds me of...the Banana Splits theme!

OMG! My boss has that ring on his cell phone! I will therefore raise you with...

"FELIZ NAVIDAD"!

[bwteim]

For any west coast Freepers before making their way to work and for all east coast cubicle dwellers, I will see your raise, Snowy, with the following ditty....

Sugar Shack
There's a crazy little shack beyond the tracks
And everybody calls it the sugar shack
Well, it's just a coffeehouse and it's made out of wood
Expresso coffee tastes mighty good
That's not the reason why I've got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby
To that sugar shack.

[speedy]

Okay, it's tomorrow now, and just to finish the thought -- that was Phoebe Snow.

[speedy]

It was Sister Janet Mead -- always a worst song candidate. Has anyone brought up "Don't Say You Don't Remember" by Beverly Bremers? Okay, we can let this thread die a peaceful death now. Of course, it will make us "Bluer Than Blue."

[AnAmericanMother]

see post 24 . . .

I know you don't want to miss this.

[InShanghai]

I'll see your Sugar Shack and again raise you:

Well my boyfriend's back and there's gonna be trouble.
Hey-La, hey-la, her boyfriend's back.
When you see him comin', better cut out on the double.
Hey-la, hey-la, her boyfriend's back.

[Charles Henrickson]

". . . makes me feel fine, blowin' through the jasmine in my mind."

". . . you sure do shine."

Both done by. . . ?

Whoa...haven't thought of Taco in a long time. From a Christmas gift exchange at a long-ago company party, I have a Taco single with his mind-numbingly stupid disco protest song about test tube babies etc., titled "Superphysical Resurrection." (As Dave Barry would say, I am not making this up.)

[Interesting Times]

And what about The Hampster Dance tune. That one is one the all-time stickiest web entries. DEEBEEDEEDOP DOODOO! Ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaa...

That's actually lifted from Disney's animated Robin Hood -- the early one where they actually had bad old Prince John taxing the people to starvation.

LOL. Yesterday it was "I Ran" Flock of Seagulls. I can't even say that I've heard the song recently. I pretty much listen to blues but it snuck it's way in, right past Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. One line, over and over again.

And I ran...

[aeronca]

It was a Disney CONSPIRACY--it happened to US too...and many people have also said the same...weird!

[Interesting Times]

Seals and Crofts...

I see we've returned against our will to the Thread That Will Not Die.

Let me just say this:

Midnight at the O-aaa-sis!
Sing your camel to bed!

[jejones]

Phoebe Snow--written about an affair with a professor of English, if memory serves.

[RightFin]

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good God Almighty which way do I steer for my

Cheeseburger in paradise (paradiiiiiiiiise)
Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradiiiiiiiiise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradiiiiiiise)
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

[Interesting Times]

I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you girl that's making it spin

(unnerving, lurching key change)

You're making me dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you girl that's making it spin

[Marauder]

"In the Summertime."

Roger Miller, eh? OK, "Doo Wacka Doo" and "Dang Me"

Take that! :)

[speedy]

And then there was "Hummingbird don't fly away fly away (doot doot doot doo)" -- does anyone remember "The King Of Nothing" by Seals and Crofts? I sure hope not. And then J.D. Souther gave us the totally lame "When You're Only Lonely." Break out the Dan Fogelberg albums. I have to run out to a business meeting -- yes, the real world is intruding on the fun -- I'll only be gone about five hours and I'm sure somebody will give this thread the old "I Can't Get It Out Of My Head" ping.

[speedy]

"Oh Sweet Pea, won't you dance with me? Won't you won't you won't you dance with me-eeee." I'm gonna get fired if I don't get out of here. Bye all.
