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)

ex-foli-a-a-tion
is makin' me scrape

"brony, brony, my little pony, brony brony, sha na na na"

to the tune of this:

I just absent-mindedly sang "DEVON COUNTY COUNCIL" to the tune of "Everybody Dance Now" by C&C Music Factory.

hahahahahaha

Brilliant

whenever I hear "Dashboard" by Modest Mouse I just start barking like a dog, "arf! arf! arf!"

people named owen approve of devon county-related jokes

I used to sing the 'There was an old lady who swallowed a fly' to the tune of the Adams Family theme a LOT when I was a kid.

when i say oopsie daisy i sing it like "sherry baby"

"ooh-oohp-sie, oopsie DAISY"

you could even do the entire chorus if you were so inclined

browsing tv listings on my computer when all of a sudden in my head:

Used to have to reference non-domestic rateable values of properties in a past job and in my head it always became
What's the NDRV?
Aren't you Britney
Let's turn this dancefloor into our own little nasty thing

hahaha speaking of "property" --

MQC (mid-quarter convention for depreciating property)

I'm down with MQC
Yeah you know me

Hi dere. I can never find this thread when I need it. Now that it was recently revived I can't remember what I wanted to post.

"Shock top" beer for whatever reason makes me think "drag you out that bentley coupe and take it to the chop shop" from T.I.'s "what you know".

never gonna top ''i'm doin' laundry'' in terms of impact on my life, but still a great thread

billboard advertisement: Freeze your Fat Away as "Fuck the Pain Away" by Peaches

never gonna top ''i'm doin' laundry'' in terms of impact on my life...

Hahah...I was gonna post that. It never gets old.

Like everybody else, I am addicted to Candy Crush. And every time I start a new game, In Dreams by Roy Orbison pops into my head.

"A Candy Crushing clown they call the sandman…."

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

this is maybe something different but every time I hear "Blurred Lines" all the lyrics from Flynt Flo$$y's "Did I Mention to Dance?" pop into my head. like I'm just singing "This beat is crazy baby, you can't be acting lazy" over and over again

I wore two pairs of gloves on the ride home the other night, and thought of "doublin' up on my gloves, yeah" to "do what you want to my body"

Oh word, there's other people who associate "I'm doin' laundry" with "Hunger Strike." That's kind of amazing.

A friend of mine used to sing "I got Tide for cleanin' threads" instead of whatever they sing.. "I don't mind stealin' bread."

Empty the Recycle Bin
Same old trip it was back then

Can never remember the title of this thread when I need it and can't remember why I was looking for it when it is revived.

My avocado don't
My avocado don't

at work we sell a cheese called "evalon" that i can't not say without going "ooooh-ooooooooh eh-vuh-laawhn"

the other day a midget carrying a large trash bag rode by on a bicycle and I thought of this thread and:

midget with a trash bag, I know, I know, it's serious

how often does the phrase "midget with a trash bag" pop up in your life

seeing "sour lean" in the dairy section at the store;

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d7/ShoulderLean.jpg

every time.

xp - now that i think of it, i think he was actually a dwarf, but that doesn't scan

though "dwarf with a trash bag" sounds great to "smoke on the water"......

holy shit!

Dwarf with a trash bag
Riding on a bike

Whenever I opt for cayenne in a recipe, Guided by Voices' "Cheyenne" is never far from my mind

A single glimpse of purity
In a flickering light
Cayenne seems right

xxp: holy shit indeed...
now, i am really hoping i one day will see a little person with a garbage bag on a bicycle...
what a strange thing to hope for....

The album title My Name Is Albert Ayler always makes me start singing

Oh, my name is Albert Ayler,
I hope you like my show
I know you're rootin' for me,
but now I have to SKRONNNNKSREEEEESRIIIERAAARRRK

to the tune of this: http://youtu.be/ESEiJlseLWo

Lock the taskbar = rock the casbah

The code to the bins in my black of flats is C1389 which I sing to TVC 15 by Bowie. It's getting to the point where I'm avoiding taking the recycling out because I don't want that stupid earworm.

I realized just now that besides not remembering the thread title, I do this so often that it is probably not worth posting about.

Of course that's never stopped me before.

Anyway I've committed to memory that this thread's name starts with "Phrases" and it was created by upside-down Whiney so it should be smooth sailing from here on in.

i always sing "The Big Payback" as "It's Vic Tayback!"

Me too! In fact about a week or two ago I posted "Vic Tayback! Revenge!" on Mr. Fine Wine's FB page because I thought we had discussed this years ago on more than one occasion and that he did the same thing, but he claimed ignorance.

huh, i've been doing that more or less since i first heard the song as a kid. I wonder how many of us there are.
