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)

I used to wake up in the morning, I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights, I went and told my dad
He said, "Son, now here's some little something,"
And stuck it on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all (I don't feel bad at all)

Goes hand in hand with my 'beef bourgignon' to 'Carol of the bells'

lol "my beef bourgignon" is now in my head to "Felix Navidad"

Feliz not Felix

Felisa me muero!

Earlier, in the next room, boxes of Girl Scout cookies were being counted for distribution. I heard the phrase "Two Trefoils..." – and sang out, "...and a microphooooone!"

I was very proud of this. #DaddestOfDads

I don't want my pizza burnin

when I was in 6th grade choir they made us sing 'intro' songs, usually existing melodies with lyrics changed to be about facts about us, and one duo chose "Do You Love Me?" as their melody but sang "Do you know me? No I don't! Do you know me? No I don't! Do you know me? Now you're in my class!" and that's still how I hear it to this day because I remember only the most inane shit from childhood.

mostly happens to me with thread titles now

"I HATE Steely Dan" -> The Spongetones' "My Girl Maryanne"

"Elon Musk" -> Throwing Muses' "Ellen West" ("dancing on his graaaave")

also:
Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?
Worse than it used to be
Worse than it used to be

also happens a lot with names in mailboxes, but I can't share those :(

"I HATE Steely Dan"
Put another coin in the jukebox baby

We watched WAKANDA FOREVER last night and I started singing the title to the refrain of Shakira’s “Whenever, Wherever” and now I can’t stop.

haha!

this week my brain started singing the title to a beefheart track to the music of george gershwin:

You say pachuco, I say cadaver

I get that movie title in my head to the "fiesta forever" line in "All Night Long" by Lionel Ritchie

Just saw a March Madness score update of a game featuring Utah State, and of course my brain was all "U-U-U-Utah State!"

"Asimov" to the tune of "Avalon."

two new ones:

Kitten on a Roomba (i know, i know, it's serious)

and

Night Sweats to "Night Shift" by Siouxsie & the Banshees

also there is now one of these near where I live and that song got in my head and I wasn't sure why and now I remember it is from this thread:

Korean fried chicken joint Bonchon leads to the following from soul coughing:

Move aside, and let the mango through
You gotta take the elevator to the mezzanine
Chicken Bonchon Chicken Bonchon Chicken Bonchon

"Pilates" to the tune of "Volare" by Gipsy Kings

"Do we like Juana Molina?"

Getting caught in the rain
Making love after midnight
In the dunes on the Cape

Lol

But came to post:
Jobim, Jobim
Jobim, Jobim
I’m beggin’ of you, please don’t take my man

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
How To Blow Up A Pipeline, walk out of this place

Devolder --> Debaser

If you like Peter Coyote

And getting caught in the rain

Heh

It also works with Pia Zadora, but for some reason I think it's funnier with Peter Coyote.

Better still: "if you like John Quincy Adams / in the dunes on the Cape"

If you like Fillipo Lippi

And some Renaissance art

not the perfect thread for this but can''t think of a better one. i can't be the only person who has this bike computer and can't get on his bike without getting caetano veloso songs stuck in his head. this has been going on for like 15 years now...

Yesterday: “glass bottom boat” to the tune of Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.”

One for the Canadians in the house, occasioned by my daughter’s purchase of some sour peach-favoured gummy donut-shaped candies:

Peach rings and pretty things
Let’s just see what tomorrow brings

A post-pedicure soundtrack: Rage Against the Machine, "Feet Now In The Dryer."

This one is not "inexplicable" but if I see the name France Joli I'm definitely singing it to the tune of her big hit "Come to Me," as in

France Joli
When you're all alone and feeling down
France Joli
When there's nobody else around

France Joli, for me, harks to the early 80s Enjoli commercial jingle:

I can bring home the bacon
France Joli
Fry it up in a pan
France Joli
And never let you forget you're a man

Cause I'm a woman
France Joli

lol I remember that commercial... was surprised years later to hear the Peggy Lee version and realize it was a real song

I looked it up on YouTube and it is actually late 70s.

(Insert usual "Why the fuck do I have a perfume commercial from 1979 permanently lodged in my head, and I don't know where I put my car keys yesterday?" rant here)

Also done by Raquel Welch on The Muppet Show- as a duet with Miss Piggy!

Did someone say 70s?

Periodic reminder that Miss Piggy was originally named Miss Piggy Lee, as a parody of you know who
