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)

“Quesadilla, quesadilla men have NAMED you....”

Lol

Came to post
Lexeme, the strawberry girl
Lexeme, banana split lady

because of today's Spelling Bee

I will too often find myself wandering around the apartment singing "I don't know where my phone is...." to the tune of that Nelly Furtado songs, which is double bad 'cos now I can't find my phone and I'm singing a Nelly Furtado song........

I do the same thing!

oh see mine is "I want to know where phone is, I want you to show me" dunno if that's worse

I think you better call my phone
Come on, help me find my shit

"Where is my phone" for me is sung to the tune of "Where is my Mind?"

oooh!! good one!

No no guys, it's to the tune of 'Where is the Love?'

Where is phone?
Oh baby don't hurt me
don't hurt me
no more

both ledge's and emil.y's came into my head before they posted it, lol....

I've been thinking about starting a thread similar to this which is just 'songs you sing to your cat', as every time I feed my boy shrimp & plaice wet food I sing him "I'm gonna feed you shrimp and plaice, gonna stuff it in your face" or similar (usually Prodigy version rather than Max Romeo tbh). Also lots of songs modified to be about his fluff.

Phone/keys, it is you I'm looking for...

For the cat, it's 'I'm going to feed you Norman, I'm going to feed you, yes I am!' He looks at me like I'm a dick, of course,

"ain't no food dish high enough"

anyone incorporating wet ass pussy into their songs for cat repertoire?

Ha, not yet!

my best friend has a cat with a big butt and she used to shout DUMPTRUCK at her, and then that word made her boyfriend and I to break into the Thong Song, before stopping once we remembered we were singing it about a cat

I'm pretty sure I've sung "let me see that fluff, Albyyyy, that fluff fluff-fluff fluff-fluff" at my cat.

lol

awwwwwww Alby!

Furtado phone search will likely enter my repertory, thank you.

I have no clear idea why but every time I read the new US politics thread title I think:

People that you've never heard of, people that are in the dark shadows
All entrances delivered, courtesy of winter

(to the tune of "You Get What You Give")

Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson
Murder rap to keep you dancin'
With a crime record like Charles Manson
Come around we'll kick your ass in

Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson

WE DIDN'T START THE FIYAH!

always love how that song reduces weighty historic moments as 2 second soundbytes

if he was describing the last year, it'd be

Contentious election year
Global pandemic is here
Angry streets, police beats
QAnon is hot

'vid nineteen
on the scene
what else do I HOOS to steen?

(should probably be in Songs where it's fun to say HOOS in place of the actual lyrics)

The famous COVID-era phenomenon of Bad Hands (when you’ve touched something from outside of your home and need to wash your hands before doing anything else)

saw this tweet, and now every time i go too long without sanitizing i hear springsteen scream "BAD HANDS, you gotta live it everyday!"

every time I see the name Ted Danson I think of Elvis Costello's "No Dancing" and what it would be like if the lyrics were all about Ted Danson

Whenever I see an Imperial IPA, the Unrest song plays in my head.

but iiii don't feel like Danson
no sir, no Danson for me

also, xpost: I only know a couple of Unrest songs, am working off West Coast Love Affair and coming up with "i'll meet you IPA..... I'll drink you, IPA"

haha, that would be better actually

had to drive co-worker to a meeting in suburbs that involved taking highway 238 ... i warned him I would get the Misfits stuck in my head ...

We're on 238
We're on 238 ...

he was warned

On a recent camping trip someone used a Jetboil to make coffee and I had Jet Boy, Jet Girl stuck in my head for quite a while.

I absolutely do that with any number that ends with 38

My kid is hardcore into Pokémon lately and I get a bunch of their names set to tunes in my head.

Besides the obvious Siouxsie pronunciation of pikachu, I hear Stevie Nicks or Gene Simmons saying “golduck woman” and Stephen Malamus yelling “not here babe...torchic!”

My Bloody valentine
dead rotting valentine
you made me rip out your heaaaaaaaaaaaaart

Whoa, Antietam
We could make it together

Gonna see the Rona
Got a ticket for the Bay City Rona

Don’t think I’ve ever looked at the menu of an Indian restaurant without singing “Vindaloo!” to the tune of ABBA’s “Waterloo.”

totally owned by the actual lyrics of "I Just Wanna Have Something To Do" for me

OTM

Here’s your ticket
Hear the drummer get triptych

Or substitute on the first line instead of you prefer

whenever i see last posted by ilxor "One Eye Open" I get "I'm Not Losing Sleep" by Julian Cope stuck in my head for at least 30 minutes

“Born Under Punches”/The Jerk
“Take a look at these cans!”

Lol, nice.

This is still a problem for me.

Various things get sandwiched into Hall & Oates' Maneater these days:

Whoa-oh here she comes
Watch out boy, she'll raise your boat
Whoa-oh here she comes
She's an airbladder

Me dealing with a constipated dog that I was walking last week had an rewrite of the Shoop Shoop song in my head.

"Is it in the street?
Oh no, that's just some sticks
Is it by his feet?
Oh no, that's melted Twix
If you wanna no
The dogg didn't go
It's still in his butt"

oh my God, that's super-relevant to my life right now.
