Plop, plop, fizz, fizz ... oh, what a relief it is ...

[CARDINALRULES]

We're not gonna take it!
Another one bites the dust.
Bohemian Rhapsody.
We are the Champions.
W will rock you.
Come on Eileen.
Red Red Wine.
Purple People Eater.

One, two, three, four, tell the people what she wore. It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini That she wore for the first time today. ...

Let's not forget this one!

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where are you? We got some work to do now.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where are you? We need some help from you now.
Come on Scooby-Doo, I see you... pretending you got a sliver.
But you're not fooling me, cause I can see, the way you shake and shiver.
You know we've got a mystery to solve, so Scooby Doo be ready for your act Don't hold back!
And scooby Doo if you come through your going to have yourself a scooby snack!
That's a fact!
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, here are you, Your ready and your willing.
If we can count on you Scooby-Doo, I know you'll catch the villian!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

"Hey, Mr. Guder..."

Ah, geez, I think I last heard that when I was three!

[CARDINALRULES]

W will rock you.
Damn keyboard....that's WE will Rock you.

Of course if I was talking about SoDamn Insane that would be correct. ;-`)

Darn it...you reminded me of the other "Patches." "Patches, I'm dependin' on ya son to pull the family through, my son it's all left up to you..."

A similar article about this "syndrome" came out a while ago. I'll see if I can find the link.

I had to drive 20 hours back from DisneyWorld with that "Yo Ho, Yo Ho a pirate's life for me" stuck in my head almost the whole time.

You don't know the HALF of it. Imagine the torture my family and I went through when we were on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride when it BROKE DOWN for nearly 25 minutes. I'm not kidding when I thought I was gonna have to cart my husband out of there in a straight jacket. We are both trained musicians. My husband is a composer. And I'm not joking - this was REAL torture for us musicians. We should have sued Disney! ;-)

Speaking of little girls singing about vegetables: "I don't like folks that tweak your nose or people that squirt you with the garden hose but--oooooh, I love onions..."

[djf]

Wish I had a song stuck in my head, instead I have a sub-par thread title stuck on my screen...

[InShanghai]

Too much work I'd say...

I've been working on the raaailroad,
allll the live long daayyy.
I've been working on the raailroad....

Does Basketball Jones count?

I can remember a commercial with that song in it. I can't remember what it was for, but they would play it on Saturday Mornings. For some strange reason, it scared the sh-t out of me, especially that shrieking kid.

Years later, I rented the movie Being There where Peter Sellers' character puts on the TV and lo and behold, that commercial came on. The painful memories returned...

ROTFL! What a funny post! I've got to tell zelig about that... "Being There" is one of his favorite movies. :-)

Speaking of which, "Time to Bomb Saddam" is a catchy little ditty.

[always paddle your own canoe]

Then surely you cannot forget
"bomb bomb bomb iraq....to the tune of Barbara Ann!!!!

[A_perfect_lady]

That's why he is your ex.

LOL! Yes... If I'd stuck a Jethro Tull song in his head, he'd have been perfectly happy. But no, I had to be sadistic!

[Interesting Times]

Yeah, wasn't that one was done by Telly ("Who loves ya, baby?") Savalas?

Nope... Desiderata was done by Les Crane.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Anytime a bad song was stuck in my head as a youth, I would start 'playing' Elton John's Rocket Man in my head. Now I can't stand that song either.

[renosathug]

What's new Pussycat, woooooh wooooooh wooooh?

[speedy]

Okay, just one post this morning before I head to work - your Donovan songs forced me into it -- thoughts stray naturally to The Continent of Atlantis -- but also to the Epistle To Dippy.

"Jennifer, Juniper, hair of golden flax.
Jennifer, Juniper, longs for what she lacks."

What was he trying to tell us? And your transliteration of "Sukiyaki" was as good as it gets. "Nah kah dee me wah oh da lay on da lee" or words to that affect. I waive consecutive translation.

See those of you who still want to play tonight. Will you be staying after Sunday, or go home on Monday?

Dominique, in-ique, in-ique bump.

And this thread really wouldn't be complete without a nod to April Wine's short-lived "If You See Kay..."
