Dh is reading a different board. Apparently the topic is "songs that get stuck in your head." As he is going through the threads, he is finding links that play the songs posters have added.

 

So far I've heard the Star Wars theme three times, and some sappy love song. I wonder which one will be stuck in my head by the time he is done. :D

This is the song that never ends,

It just goes on and on, my friends.

Somebody started singing it not knowing what it was,

And now they keep on singing it forever, just because

My husband knows that he is in DEEP DOO-DOO if he so much as HUMS this tune around me, especially before bedtime.

 

So THANKS for getting this song going in my head, Parrothead. :glare:

Hey, Parrothead and Sahamamama, I've had "Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here" stuck in the old bean for DAYS now. I share this in the evil but vain hope that perhaps telling you about it will transfer the song to you and get it out of me. Mwahahahahaha!!!! (I'm rubbing my hands together in an evil fashion.) ;)

Thanks for that, Sahamamama! Is there a doo-doo smiley thing? ;):lol:

 

My dd (11) learned a similarly annoying little ditty from her friends this summer---something to do with buying Bazooka bubblegum. ARRGGHHH!

Anyone know it? She, in turn, taught it to her entire 4-H club and wow, the overnights at the 4-H fair were Fun with a capital "F." :lol:

 

Sigh. Now I"m going to lay my head upon my pillow and count verses of The Song That Never Ends until I fall asleep! :001_smile:

WHY would you type out the lyrics, knowing after someone starts reading it they have to continue? WHY, WHY, WHY????:mad:

 

Besides the ones that stuck once in a while, my eternal ones are the La La La La La one from Sesame St. (I walk around singing it every time I'm in the grocery store, aparently, and rather loudly!), and, keep in mind here, I've been a vegetarian all my life, the wonderful, classic, Oscar Meyer weiner song. I seem to never leave home without those two :D.

Oh, and the other song that gets stuck in my head is from Potty Power.

 

Can you tell I have small children who still poo-poo and so on? TODAY I bought the little adorable Baby Bjorn potties at Babies R Us, so Puppy and Monkey can sit naked, side-by-side and put their little bottom ends on the potties and do what they do. :willy_nilly:Yes, I am beginning to potty train THE TWINS. Pray for me, brothers and sisters.

 

Okay, and now for the lyrics:

 

I can do it myself,

I'm a Big Kid now,

I can do it myself,

I've got POTTY POWER, POTTY POWER.

 

When I have to go,

I know what to do.

I go to the potty,

You can do it, too!

 

I can do it myself,

I'm a Big Kid now,

I can do it myself,

I've got POTTY POWER, POTTY POWER, POTTY POWER! Woohoo!

 

 

Have a nice night, y'all.

We're on our way, we're on our way,

On our way to the Petting Zoo.

We're on our way, we're on our way,

On our way to the Petting Zoo.

 

At the Petting Zoo there is a little bunny rabbit.

At the Petting Zoo there is a little bunny rabbit.

The rabbit likes to hop, hop, hop.

The rabbit likes to hop, hop, hop.

 

We're on our way, we're on our way,

On our way to the Petting Zoo.

We're on our way, we're on our way,

On our way to the Petting Zoo.

 

At the Petting Zoo there is a little yellow duckling.

At the Petting Zoo there is a little yellow duckling.

The duckling likes to quack, quack, quack.

The duckling likes to quack, quack, quack.

(To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are?

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are?

 

(To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)

Baa, baa, Black Sheep, Have you any wool?

Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Three bags full.

One for the master, and one for the dame,

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

 

(To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)

W X Y and Z

Now I know my A B Cs.

Next time, won't you sing with me?

And I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that meddling Astrid! Grrrr! ;) Alrighty then, here's one that never fails:

 

The sun'll come out TOMORROW

Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun!

 

Just thinkin' about TOMORROW

Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow 'til there's none!

 

When I'm stuck with a day that's gray and lonely,

I just stick out my chin and grin and say,

Oh!

 

The sun'll come out TOMORROW

So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow come what may!

 

(now the big finish)

 

TOMORROW! TOMORROW!

I love ya TOMORROW!

You're always a day away!

 

Mwahahahahahaha!!!! And now that I've tagged you with the Musical Lint That Cannot Be Removed, I'm off to bed!!

Well we just finished playing RockBand and American Idol (hey it's fun) and I have one of the songs I sang in my head.

 

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down

Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,

Just go ahead, let your hair down.

 

It isn't a song I know other than having to sing it on the game! But it's bluesy and I like it.

Most any of the Wiggles songs gets stuck in my head:

 

"Wags the Dog

He Likes to Tango

Wags the Dog

He calls is Wrangle"

 

 

 

The Turtle's "So Happy Together":

 

"Imagine me and you, I do.

I think about you day and night

Its only right

To think about the one you love. . . .

So happy together. . .

I cant see me lovin nobody but you for all my life

When youre with me, baby the skies will be bright

For all my life. . . . . "

 

AGH!!

 

How about the old MacDonald's tune:

"2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion, on a sesame seed bun"

 

Meow Mix commercial:

meow, meow, meow, meow!

Holly, you crack me up! Thank God I don't have a TV, or I'd have the Wiggles' songs in my head, in addition to Potty Power and the relentless tune of The Alphabet Song.

 

We have toddlers and preschoolers. We need therapy. (Actually, I just need a loooooooong weekend on a tropical beach by myself with a stack of good books and a Latin grammar, but that's another thread). ;)

Nice try, Kelli with an I, but I beat you to it. :D Wanna put some little green peas on my plate for that?

 

Smarty pants. Maybe I'll just go give the thread a one star rating now.

 

Besides, did you provide a link to a Davy Crockett festival near your town? Noooo, you did not. I did. I win.:001_smile:

And I, measly little peon that I am, would rep you (FWIW) if I had any rep left, but, alas, I give out all my rep each day and I'm plum out now.

 

Are you? [Wink. Wink. Nudge. Nudge.] Man, you got a lotta peas.

YOU ROCK! YOU ROLL! PLEASE PASS THE PEAS! CUZ IF YOU DON'T I'M SURE TO SNEEZE!:party:

 

I'm sorry, I am all out of those green thingies for the day. I gave them out in political threads to people who could debate with grace, good manners and a bit of humor.

 

I'm not saying you can't or don't do those things. I might not be making sense. My melatonin is kicking in and my pajamas are still in the dryer. I am getttttttting sleeeeeeeepy, veerrrrrry sleeeeeeeepy.

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it;

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;

Star Trekkin' across the universe,

On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.

Star Trekkin' across the universe,

Only going forward, still can't find reverse.

Medical update, Dr. McCoy.

It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;

If you have ever been to Disneyland, you will know exactly the song I am about to sing for you. If you have ever lived in southern California while your children were toddlers and you all had a season pass to Disneyland and your children had a particular favorite attraction involving little boats and dancing children from all over the world, my humblest apologies to you.

 

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears

it's a world of hopes and a world of fears

There's so much that we share

That it's time we're aware

It's a small world after all!

It's a small world after all,

It's a small world after all,

It's a small world after all,

It's a small, small world.

 

Ah. Enjoy your day. :)

I'll never sleep again. Thanks, guys.

 

Anyone know all the words to the Davey Crockett song? That's beein in my head lately and I only know the first long.

 

NO, NO, NO!! When mine were little they sang that all the time. And Ol Dan Tucker.

 

And have you ever heard the "Mike Fink" song from one of the Davy Crockett movies?

 

Listen to the Thunder

Hear the Winds roar

Hurricane's a-comin'

Board up the door

Load up the cannon

Call out the law

Worsest calamity

that folk ever saw

Girls run and hide

Brave men shiver

I'm Mike Fink

King of the River

 

(Chorus)

Oh, he's a ring-tail roarer

And a tough old alligator

Oh, he's a bulldog bully

And a real depopulator

Oh, what a fightin' devil

He'll spit right in your eye

He's gonna live forever

Born too mean to die

 

 

 

 

Once I got "My Belle Ami" stuck in my head for two weeks. It was like continuous background music. Drove me nuts.

No way! I've been singing that song off and on for days too. It doesn't help that the girls keep mentioning some hip hop song with the lyrics "Lolli lolli let me see you pop that body". Every time they sing that line I start singing the Schoolhouse Rock song and 14yods chimes in. I think he prefers Schoolhouse Rock to hip hop too. His tastes and mine usually run about the same in music. It's not all Schoolhouse Rock though:D

Weird. I don't usually get songs stuck in my head, rather a person's name or a word that I've had difficulty pronouncing will roll around up there FOREVER.

 

The other day? Boutros Boutros Ghali. Over and over and over...

 

:willy_nilly:

 

You and Seinfeld! :smilielol5:

 

Isn't that strange, though, that songs don't stick for you. I have a major song-sticking problem. They can stick for DAYS on end. Really, it can be so incredibly annoying. Especially when it's a song like this.... Mwahahahahaha!!! :D

Except, it wasn't a naked woman that first made me say it.

 

That's so funny. I haven't seen that episode in a long time.

 

:ohmy: Oy vey. I, um, forgot about that whole naked woman thing. (Which brings me to "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" ;) Oh, let those who read this be Seinfeld fans, or I've got some serious 'splainin' to do....)

Unusual names and words get stuck in my head, too. Boutros Boutros Ghali is one, Akeem Alijowan (sp? basketball player) is another, and lately it has been Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (looked that one up!). It's very frustrating because as I'm saying them over and over, I'm also wondering how they're spelled. I hate not knowing that.

That's exactly it, Jenni!

 

The odd pronunciations and the questionable spelling. My feeble brain must be trying to figure it all out. :D

Believe me, it doens't help. I spent 10 days in Yellowstone/Jackson Hole and at the end of the trip I was singing the song to the Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. ARGHH Once those songs are in there, they are in there.

 

Last week it was a Wiggles song....Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes....they're fun to eat and they're fun to make....:glare:

Theeeeeeeeeereee's a hole in the bottom of the seat,

There's a hole in the bottom of the seat,

There's a hole in the bottom

There's a hole in the bottom

There's a hole in the bottom of the seat.

 

There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the seat,

There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the seat,

There's a log in the hole in the bottom

There's a log in the hole in the bottom

There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the seat.

 

(You get the idea...)

 

There's a bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the seat...

 

There's a frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the seat...

 

There's a wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the seat...

 

There's a hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the seat...

 

There's a flea on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the seat...

 

(I don't remember what happens after that--I'm usually too tongue tied!)

(especially the first two lines...every. single. time. we have to talk about either place in history!! I break into song and the kids stare at me like I'm a fruitcake)

 

Istanbul was Constantinople

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

Been a long time gone, Constantinople

Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

 

Every gal in Constantinople

Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

So if you've a date in Constantinople

She'll be waiting in Istanbul

 

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

Why they changed it I can't say

People just liked it better that way

 

So take me back to Constantinople

No, you can't go back to Constantinople

Been a long time gone, Constantinople

Why did Constantinople get the works?

That's nobody's business but the Turks

 

Istanbul (Istanbul)
