when lyrics get stuck in your head

[awoodfellow]

ok .... this has been on me all day....

there once was a kiltmaker named bear
who pleated his kilts with great care
he'd stitch to the stripes
with the sound of great pipes
afloating along in the air


good .. now it's outta my system ...



thanks

What's the tune? Great lyrics I must admit

[TheFly]

Getting soungs out of my head is like my superpower. I'll be sitting at work, humming a tune and then all of a sudden, I'll stop. A moment later, someone else is humming the tune where I left off. It's kinda eerie.

Sometimes I make it a game. See if I can change the tune over and over on them.

I wish I could harness this superpower and use it to take over the world.

Wow... can I realte to that one?!!!

I was asked to write a "Pirate-type" song for Barleyjuice. The tune was done first... and even Stacey whistles it at work all the time. Addictive little tune.

The lyrics are a SCREAM! It's called "Modern Day Pirates" and is about travelling the Inner Harbour, Cape May, etc... and what we're scavengering for in pubs. Good stuff!

Let's put a tune to your Bear song.

I'll tell ya what's bad, whenever Queen's "Another one bites the dust" comes on the radio I start singing the lyrics to Weird Al's "Another one rides the bus"!

lol no no, the worst is that I get "Another One Bites the Dust" song stuck in my head whenever I pass a funeral.. and what's worse is I *know* its wrong, but i start laughing anyways. Same with some other songs at inappropriate places, but thats a forum topic in itself that I might have to make one day.

And yes, I'm fully aware that it keeps getting more and more hot in this fine wicker-basket we are riding in, why do you ask? :P

Someone told me to whistle the 1812 overture when you have a song stuck in your head. supposedly it helps. I find annoying people by singing loudly at the top of your voice works just as well, especially if the song is something no one expects, such as Led Zep's Immigrant Song.

Btw Jimmy, have you ever hear the arrogant worms song Last Saskatchewan Pirate? Similar in the timeframe angle, though i think yours might be a bit more fun to re-enact. I have a collection of pirate songs that keeps on growing, so I might have to get an earful of yours to keep the collection growing. Arrrggghh..

(and now I speaking pirate, which is yet another thing that gets stuck in my head easily, thanks alot! arrrghh.... :P)

As long as nobody mentions It's A Small World After All, we'll be okay.

"Here's the story, of a lovely lady..."

~or~

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship..."

[Macman]

OWWWWW, Bear!

And how about:

"Here we come,
Walking down the street.
We get the funniest looks . . ."

Does that ever happen when you're kilted?
