Whenever I have "Puttin on the Ritz" in my head, its the Gene Wilder/Peter Boyle version.
I still remember freaking out my mother when I was six years old (when the Taco version was out) by singing "Put it on her t-ts." (Despite the fact that I knew not of what I was talking about).
Another one from the early 80s that get's stuck in my head: "Aint nothing gonna break my stride, nobody gonna slow me down!"

The FIRST band to use a chainsaw, and the ONLY band to ever use a Chevy that won't start, as musical counterpoints.

Those were the days!
TRA-LA-LA!
Which suddenly reminds me of...the Banana Splits theme!
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
one banana two banana three banana four
all bananas make a bunch so do many more
over hill and highway the banana buggies go
come along to bring you the banana splits show
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
four banana three banana two banana one
all bananas playing in the bright warm sun
flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
fleagle bingo drooper and snork
making up a mess of fun
making up a mess of fun
making up a mess of fun
lots of fun for everyone
four banana three banana two banana one
all bananas playing in the bright warm sun
flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
fleagle bingo drooper and snork
And what about The Hampster Dance tune. That one is one the all-time stickiest web entries. DEEBEEDEEDOP DOODOO! Ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaa...

Tell me, does this mean we're old? I saw that an "H.R.Pufnstuf" movie was on TV a couple of years ago, and tried to get my (now estranged) stepsons to watch it with their mom and I. After 10 minutes, I was informed by the 8 year old that "This is stupid". I was kinda crushed. (I knew when I was his age it was dumb too, but I put my childish cynicism aside for the amusement).
What a different world we live in.
How's this?
Generals gathered in their masses. Just like witches at black masses.

Well, I can dance with you honey
If you think that's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?

OUCH! And no, I'm not old, you young whipper-snappers! (I do qualify as Generation X though.

Sounds like Ozzy.
To: All
Just before the battle, mother,
I am thinking most of you,
While upon the field we're watching
With the enemy in view.
Comrades brave are 'round me lying,
Filled with thoughts of home and God
For well they know that on the morrow,
Some will sleep beneath the sod.
CHORUS:
Farewell, mother, you may never
Press me to your breast again,
But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother,
If I'm numbered with the slain.
Oh, I long to see you, mother,
And the loving ones at home,
But I'll never leave our banner,
Till in honor I can come.
Tell the traitors all around you
That their cruel words we know,
In every battle kill our soldiers
By the help they give the foe.
Hark! I hear the bugles sounding,
'Tis the signal for the fight,
Now, may God protect us, mother,
As He ever does the right.
Hear the "Battle-Cry of Freedom,"
How it swells upon the air,
Oh, yes, we'll rally 'round the standard,
Or we'll perish nobly there.

The theme to "While You Were Out" on TLC sticks in my head: "Na, na, na, na, na, bum, bum, bum..."

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold

Black Sabbath, actually. The "Paranoid" album. "War Pigs" is the title of the song.

If you've read the book, I was born at the peak of "genX, and my younger brother (born in '66) is the tail end.
Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter

How about the song "How Bizarre" by OMC?
Destination unknown
As we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster
Reveals a smile from the pack
Elephants and acrobats,
Lions snakes monkey
Pele speaks righteous
Sister Seena says funky
How bizarre!
How bizarre, how bizarre!
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around (look around)
Everytime I look around (look around)
Everytime I look around it's in my face.
