Phrases that, when you see them, you inexplicably start singing them to the melody of something else (and then will forever be associated with that)

Occasionally I have to teach people how to use an espresso machine, and one crucial step is telling them to "purge the group head" which I always think to the melody "hang the DJ hang the DJ hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ hang the DJ hang the DJ" but I never sing it out, I just get a faraway look for a moment while it happens.

re: H&O, I was giving myself the giggles with "You're out of touch, I'm out of time / Blood runs out of my head when you're not around" earlier this week, shoutout to whoever shared that one upthread

🎶"It's not like salmon, but a little like trout and it's name is tilapia".🎶

emily, emily can't you see / sometimes your words just hypnotize me

Just picked up an early Dick novel

and I can't get the chorus of this out of my head

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only

It’s not that inexplicable — but when I see the word “Panama” (like on my TV right now, where soccer is playing), my head plays the obvious tune

d'oh... i got introduced to teenage caveman by that MST episode so i've certainly seen that Tom Servo riff, but forgotten it. and hear i thought i was on the cutting edge of dad song joke humor.

I was recently pouring vodka into a water bottle, so as to bring it someplace where it was technically not allowed, and I explained to my wife that it was stealth vodka.

We both immediately shouted STEALTH VODKA! in a Fred Schneider style

lol

My cabin had a problem with an ermine that kept getting in, but we could never find and catch it. One day my boyfriend was over and his car was parked out front, and my cousin spotted a tiny ermine disappearing under his car. So she came in and reported, "John, there's a baby ermine underneath your car."

John: What?
Cousin: There's a baby ermine underneath your car.
John: WHAT?
Cousin (patiently): Underneath your car, there's a baby ermine.

Cousin and I looked at each other, had an epiphany, and simultaneously sang "Underneeeeaaaath your car, there's a baby ermine!" to the tune of Shakira's "Underneath Your Clothes."

I don't know why, but my horrible brain has recently started torturing me with:

Here I am!
Rock you like I'm Herman Cain!

On a similar note, I keep singing "Joe Biden" to the tune of KISS's "Black Diamond"

loooool

TaskRabbit to the tune of "Phat Rabbit."

I started using a cpap machine this summer for sleep apnea, and mentally refer to it as the "apnea machine". When I put it on before bed now I hear Paul Westerburg saying, "how do you say good night to an apnea machine?"

Jordan Henderson will all be there
Mane Salah Firmino, what a scene

How do you mend
A broken poptart

It’s totally problematic
Whenever you’re around
Problematic

There was a Charlie Brooker article some time ago in which he said that every time Robert Mugabe was mentioned, his name started going around Brooker's head to the tune of Eleanore Rigby. The same thing has started happening to me since I read the article.

♫ Octa octa,
gimme the news,

of loving you ♫

*Octo octa obv

There's a store here called "Pet Places". My wife and I always sing it to the tune of "Face Dances" when we drive by.

Hunh, now this is happening to me, but to the tune of Love’s “Robert Montgomery”.

How do you think Arthur Lee wrote "Robert Montgomery"?

Triggered by seeing the thread 'The Irish' on ilx:

"Help the Irish,
One time they were just like you
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
Help the Irish
Don't just put them in a home
Can't have much fun when they're all on their own
Give a hand, if you can
Try and help them to unwind
Give them hope and give them comfort
'Cause they're running out of time"

:-/

i'd make bolognese for ya

Better to 'God Gave Rock and Roll to You'.

To me, Octo Octa doesn't summon Robert Plamer.

It summons Thompson Twins.

sometimes I like to sing to owen pallet's midnight directives, "the way will be lit, i'm a fat piece of shit, oh whooooah"

I see a bunch of Yang 2020 stickers around including ones that say "Yang Gang" which immediately got this, which I completely forgot existed for the last 30 years, stuck in my head:

Hobo with a Shotgun, I know, I know, it’s serious

^^ yes!!!

Rudy! Giuliani! to the tune of Hey! Luciani!

* "Jojo Rabbit" to the "mojo rising" part of "L.A. Woman"

* "Tammy and the T-Rex" to "Devil in a Blue Dress"

whenever someone says "it's cold outside" (which they did today ALOT) I immediately think "and the paint's peeling off of my walls"

'have a good one' makes me think of Joanna newsom

Jonathan Demme's Ricki and the Flash, to the tune of the Dickies' "Manny Moe and Jack."

"the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually still alive" to the tune of Klaatu's "Sir Bodsworth Rugglesby III"

black friday to the tune of Black Planet by Sisters of Mercy

Saw an ad for ham from a 1960s newspaper that a friend posted on fb. In addition to the shank portion, the ad noted that one could also purchase the “butt face portion.”

Now whenever I hear “butt face portion” it’ll be to the tune of Foreigner’s “Juke Box Hero.”
