Song Stuck in Your Head? You're Not Alone

Who also, let us never forget, gave us "Lime in the Coconut."

Not to mention "Me and My Arrow," from The Point.

[Doctor Don]

Yeh....my song is The Star Spangled Banner.........I'm tired
of standing........I want to sit down!!!!

[ChadGore]

OOOga chaka . . OOoga OOga OOga chaka
OOoga OOga OOga chaka
OOoga OOga OOga chaka
o/~ I can't stop this feelin' . . o/~
o/~ deep inside of me . . o/~

[Ima Lurker]

I'm just getting used to my first pair of bifocals.....progressive bifocals. The song I can't get out of my head right now is "I'm so dizzy....my head is spinning".

[deziner]

Sorry about that -- you can get it out of your head by singing "I'm not talking 'bout moving in -- and I don't want to change your life -- but there's a warm wind blowing the stars around -- and I'd really love to see you tonight." Double barf from 1978.

Oh GREAT!!! Now THAT'S the song that is getting stuck - I'll be humming it all evening long - hear it in my sleep. THANKS :-(

[T Minus Four]

Hey T, are you back? I'm not through torturing you with Bread songs yet

Fine, I have a long day at work and this is the thanks I get? Well take this: ANYTHING EVER RECORDED BY THE COWSILLS OR THE PATRIDGE FAMILY!

Gimme a head with hair, long beautiful ha-air!

Come on world there's a song that we're singin', come on get happy!

[jejones]

OK, now you've done it--you reminded me of "Playground in My Mind."

This calls for heavy artillery: "Tennessee Birdwalk."

"Remember me, my darling, when spring is in the air, and the bald-headed birds are whispering everywhere when you see them walking southward in their dirty underwear, that's the Tennessee birdwalk."

[T Minus Four]

I always sorta liked the theme to The Angry Beavers :-)

[deziner]

Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me... Aack.

The world is black. The world is white. It turns by day, and then by night...

Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony side by side on my piano keyboard... *barfy big time!*

[jejones]

Yay! "Earache My Eye," Cheech and Chong (featuring Alice Bowie). "HA, HA, HA! I'm so bloody rich! And I only know three chords!"

[T Minus Four]

but really liked "Hummingbird

LOL! I remember my sister and her dance class doing an interpretive dance to this song, wearing tie-dyed leotards. Lots of bending and swaying and arm gestures. It was supposed to be so deep!

[deziner]

And then there's always ABBA

Dancin' queen young and sweet only seventeeeeeen oooooooooo

[T Minus Four]

OOOga chaka . . OOoga OOga OOga chaka

Or how 'bout the equally lyrical:

Chick-a-Boom, Chicka-a-Boom, dontcha just love it!

[jejones]

Yeah...if memory serves, the hummingbird symbolized Baha'ullah (apologies to any Baha'is reading that if I misapostrophized or misspelled). I remember my sister correcting me when I sang along "...the atmosphere above us...", pointing out firmly that it was "...the atmosphere of Abha...".

[Tax-chick]

AAAAAAGH! But on the plus side, we just bribed our 2-year-old with Dora underwear, and now we only have one in diapers!

One evening during a private moment with my husband, I suddenly burst out, "The bunny, the bunny ... Oooh, I love the bunny!" He was so upset he slept on the couch.

Joys of modern parenting ...

[T Minus Four]

Rereading some of the posts from all day when I couldn't play. You're so good! And evil and twisted!

[always paddle your own canoe]

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun...

I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony....

[T Minus Four]

If my memory serves me, we made up rude lyrics and sang them to her until she told and we got in trouble.

(Oh please, like you didn't do that to your sister!)

[hapsgroupie]

I came along
I wrote a song for you
and all the things you do
and it was called yellow...

Ugh. :/

[T Minus Four]

Ever notice that the first time she sings "One Day at a Time" it goes "I'm only human, I'm just a woman...", then later in the live version (when she's older) it goes "I'm only human, I am a woman...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Now I'll have to listen to see if this is true!

I suspect that if someone counted up all the votes, Christy Lane would "win", with this as a close second.
