Subject: Get rid of it here..the earbug thread

Written By: meesa on 06/13/12 at 1:41 pm

Sometimes you hear a song..and then it doesn't go away. The dreaded earbug, over and over in your mind until you think you will lose it.

See if this works-put the lines of the song that is stuck in your head here. Maybe that will make it go away.  :D


Here's one I haven't been able to get rid of lately-
"IIIIIIIIIIII..I'm hooked on a feeling...I'm high on believin'..that you're in love with meeeeeeeeeeee"

Now I am going to run out of this thread and hope it stays HERE.  ;D

Uh-oh!! That's been stuck in my head many times before!! Loved to sing it with all that EXPRESSION !!  I'd forgotten about it. Now I'm in trouble!  Maybe it'll go away during the night while I'm sleeping... then I'll wake up in the morning and say,"what was that song...????" and then it will start all over again!!

I shot the sheriff. But I did not shoot the deputy. yes, I shot the sher-iff, but I did not shoot the deputy....
well, it never stops. Goes on for hours!  Put a little variation in it, emphasize one word or another...

"No one knows what it's like boom boom to be the bad man. To be the sad man.
Behind blue eyes.  No one knows what it's like To be hated. To be fate-ed To telling only lies.

If my fist clenches crack it open before I use it and lose my cool

Now that will be stuck in my head for the day, or at least through morning coffee, but it's a  great song.

Oh, I woke up this morning KNOWING that it was something about Vengeance!!  THANKS!

That's one of the bad things... when you get a song stuck in your head and you can't remember some of the important words, and you have to go, "dumm dumm hmmm hmmm something...."  . Well, I suppose all the words are important, aren't they!

I've had this one stuck in me coconut for a few days now but it's okay, I really like the song.

And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl and his brandy in his glass.
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl proved the strongest man at last.
The huntsman he can't hunt the fox nor so loudly to blow his horn.
And the tinker he can't mend a kettle or pots without a little barleycorn.

My grandpa taught my cousins and me this song when we were little.  I've been singing it for several days now...

Glorious!
Glorious!
One keg of beer for the four of us!
Glory be to God that there are no more of us
Cause one of us could drink it all alone

I was drunk last night
drunk the night before
and I'm gonna get drunk tonight
like I never got drunk before

Oh I am a member of the Sauls family
and the Sauls family is the best family
that ever
came over
from old Germany

There's the highland Dutch
And the low land Dutch
The Rotterdam Dutch
and the other damn Dutch

Glorious!
Glorious!
One keg of beer for the four of us!
Glory be to God that there are no more of us
Cause one of us could drink it all alone

In my head for the past two days:

Sugar pie, honey bunch
you know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else!


Yeah, I've had that one!!!  I can just hear it!! "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch.. what's wrong with you...?"  hey waitaminute, you didn't say "what's wrong with you" where did that come from????  Anyway, that's what comes along in MY head. What if suddenly one morning you woke up with someone else's persistent songs in your head....

NOW, you are not going to believe....  for the last two days....

"When somebody tries to put you down
And say their school is great,
I tell them right away,
"Now, what'samatta buddy
Ain't you heard of my school?
It's number one in the state!"

So be true to your school
Just like you are to your girl
Be true to your school..."
*fades of with Beach Boy  wooo ooo ooo ooo  etc *

Funny thing, as I'm singing this over and over in my head, and trying to get the words and the phrasing JUST RIGHT, (like, is it "I say now right away.... ??"  no... not quite.... It's "I tell them right away..."  I'm contemplating the changing times... how long had it been since anyone was concerned with being true to their School??  which is number one in the State.... certainly not number one in grammar... "AIN'T you hearda my school?"  (It's still not, I mean, ain't, in the dictionary...)  Must be a jock that don't, I mean, doesn't, pay attention in English.  hmm, there was a time when people might have sang.. "Be true to your gang... "  What about now? Be true to your favorite Justin Beiber tune...?  Be true to your favorite kind of music?  grunge, whatever....what's big now?  getn too old to know. Evanescence?  Plan B?  yuck....  "When somebody tries to put you down and say their school is great... " hmmm, someone's gonna put ME DOWN by saying THEIR SCHOOL is great?? wtf???  etc.  "I say now," no, "I tell them right away." yeah, I don't wait for another second to pass, can't let him think his SCHOOL is better than MY SCHOOL!!!  hahahahahaha! and so on, you get the idea... free association on a 60's song....

I'm so glad that people actually KNOW the song. It is one of those songs that when you sing it, people think you just made it up. (When I was in high school, I was trying to convince this girl that there was such a song called "Rock Lobster." )
