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)

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.

when I read that Robert Mugabe died the other day, I thought of this

♫ Octa octa,
gimme the news,
I've got a bad case
of loving you ♫

*Octo octa obv

this content's not available right now ---> that joke isn't funny anymore by The Smiths

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"

rude!

When I attempt to crack macadamia nuts "woooaah macadamia, fighting to survive"

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Had to shit

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.”

Got stars in his eyes

(to the tune of "Dirty Boots")

TURKEY SOUP
TURKEY SOUP, BABY

I enjoying singing TRASH NIGHT!! to the tune of Parliament's FLASHLIGHT when I need to wheel the bins out to the curb for the garbage collection.

I nicked this from somewhere else but I still sing - when the occasion arises - 'lock the taskbar' to the tune of Rock the Casbah.

it's upthread in a couple places. a great one imo.

Thinking of you
And the things you do to me
That make me love you
Now I'm living in Exeter

Mr. Bonamassa
Mr. Joe Bonamassa

Thinking of you
And the things you do to me

Hah!

And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn into the wick
Oooh.....

OK boomer

Wuhan!! Got You All In Check

where did you get that one from?

Any time I hear someone on the radio talk about the corona virus

I recently bought some bird food that is "insect and pepper flakes"

Which is great fun to the tune of "Incense and Peppermints"

xp Wuhan has been a weird constant in my life for a decade now - first I got married there, then my sister-in-law moved there, now I organise students coming from there to the UK. So it's been in my head since 2010. Could be worse.
