"Timmy Mallett" to the tune of Wiz Kalifa's 'Black And Yellow':

Uh huh, you know what it is
Timmy Mallett
Timmy Mallett
Timmy Mallett
Timmy Mallett

George Michael's 'Too Funky' - the first line "Hey, you're just too funky for me" replaced with "I hope you saved some turkey for me".

I swear there was a commercial in the early 90s that was an extreme ripoff of C+C Music Factory with the “everybody dance now” replaced by the words “condition by clairol”.

Anyway I have that commercial stuck in my head it with “pacifico clara” instead

It's always been "Devon County Council" for me

someone i work with is named 3mm4 c0nn33ly and every time i say her name i have to stop myself from making it sound like a darts announcer going 'ONE hundred and EIGH-TEEE!!'

“I like that Rick Astley song, ‘Ummagumma’”

“…”

“Ummagumma give you up
Ummagumma let you down
Ummagumma run around and hurt you”

i always seem to sub one line in sound of silence

"people talking without speaking"

becomes

"people pooping without wiping"

Zinedine
Why can't you be true?

Came across this line from a W.H. Auden play: "Revolutionary worker/ I get what you mean/ but what you're needing/'s a revolution within," and now my brain can't stop singing it to the tune of Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous."

LOL

hahahah

Newport Folk Fest has taken on the tune of Camper Van Beethoven's No More Bullshit in my mind.

“Coconut Yogurts” was on the shopping list, and my brain did this v strongly to the tune of “Buffalo Soldier.”

Stolen from Africa
Placed in my shopping cart

Coconut yogurt
Milk-based culture
Fermenting sugars
With Bifidobacteria

Singing: Mmm Danone / Mmm-mm Danone

there's a bar I visit
that's Wu-Tang themed and plays nothing
but 90s hip hop.

i love every visit.
and it's not just the usual songs either.
wide variety.

my new favourite verse of "How Will I Know"

hahaha

On Lok restaurant always puts “California Gurls”into my head.

someone on social media posted about a project called Alternative Art School

now it is permanently to the tune of Alternative Ulster

Girlfriend is a big John Mayer + Seinfeld fan. Every time Love On the Weekend comes on we sing:

Love on the weekend
Love on the weekend
I’m out there, Jerry
And I’m lovin’ every minute of it

We've had watermelon-feta salad a couple of times this summer which in my head is invariably sung by Harry Styles.

Upland bog
We’ve been hiking in an upland bog

"Drawn Into the Flight Path of Sounds" --> every time I see this thread title, I sing it to "Caught up in the rapture of you" from that Anita Baker song

The "defenestrate them all" thread is to the tune of The Winner Takes it All.

Some antibiotics say they can be taken with or without food so of course then I’m tricked into singing U2.

xp - that thread title always gets me into "Defenestrate them all / no mercy shown / heaven knows it's got to be this time ..."

My kids' Cheerios box says "You Oat-A-Know" on the back.

And I'm like:

Well I'm here!
To remind you!
Of the oats they put in your cereal!

Kostas Tsimikas to the tune of What's New, Pussycat?

lol @ last two

Nunslaughter's latest album is called Red is the Color of Ripping Death

and all I can hear is Nick Hexum singing

whoa oh
red is the color of ripping death
whoa oh

Asiago cheese.

When I see it I have to sing (internally, I'm not a monster) "Ohhh asia-a-go, obá obá obá" (Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 "Mas Que Nada," and I had to google the lyrics to get the obá obá obá.)

Lol, good one

Dear Evan Hansen to the tune of Kaleidoscope's "Dear Nellie Goodrich." Makes it way more tolerable to hear about Dear Evan Hansen.

Been playing Lego and I have a.... Brick Separator

(Smooth Operator, obviously)

When I'm feeling stressed I start singing "im gonna get stressed / and de-pressed" to Roxette's 'Dressed For Success'

It started with Holloway Road, which of course is v close to "Holiday Road", but now my brain has been doing this for every sign with "road" on it in London, no matter how tortured the meter. Halp!

I used to walk by Harriet Street in Pittsburgh all the time in the early 90s, and it seemed like it should be the hook of some wet indie song, perhaps obliquely about getting your 7" put out by Harriet Records, "I want to live on Harriet Street". There's also Sarah Street in another part of town, but that didn't inspire the same jangly guitar sounds in my head.

Chic - "Dance, Dance, Dance (Gyoza, Gyoza, Gyoza)" (when I'm making gyoza)

sometimes people on Twitter write "get in the bin" and I imagine it sung to the tune of Sparks' "Get In The Swing"

When I'm feeling stressed I start singing "im gonna get stressed / and de-pressed" to Roxette's 'Dressed For Success'

Nice. When I'm exceptionally stressed it's "TIME TO HAVE STRESS!!!" to Mad Cobra's "Flex (Time to Have Sex)".
