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)

Wait where is this Bonham singing discussion?

really about John Paul Jones singing in Zeppelin thread

Most car license plate holders that have the name of the dealership at the bottom I sing to "Werewolves of London" because many do scan:

Honda of Oakland
Audi of Berkeley
Putnam Toyota

though enough of these do fit the Werewolves of London rhythm, my brain ends up hurting when I take note of one that does not fit because I will try and make it fit?

I just tried and all of these work, also I think I’m stuck w this now

a-ooooooo, Honda of Oakland

lol

I love that

Every time I see Sanjay Gupta on CNN, I get the Pixie's Subbacultcha stuck in my head.

I made a thread for my werewolves of london issue:

Thread for Car Dealership Names on License Plate Holders that Can Be Sung to the Melody of Werewolves of London

Nvidia RTX series GPUs, which we are installing at work, keeps bringing the Sweet Sixteen album art into my brain... yay.

"She's a eggbreaker,

Eggbreaker, love-taker,

I must've read the phrase 'keep refrigerated' hundreds of times before yesterday but now that I've inexplicably read it in the style of the Offspring I don't know that I'll ever read it the same again.

heh it is the true heir to the "Refrigerate After Opening" to Jello Biafra's delivery of the phrase "Holiday in Cambodia"

I will often say the word "Oolong" in manner similar to the ULLAA sound from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds.

This barely fits the thread—but in “Absolutely Sweet Marie,” when Dylan sings, “Well, I got the FEEEVER,” I always think he’s gonna finish with: “...for the flavor of a Pringle!”

I have a similar issue with Burien Chevrolet, which always starts Thunder Road playing in my head.

The painting "Little Red Note: Dordrecht" popped up on my screensaver the other day, and my brain started singing "Little Red Dordrecht, you're movin' much too fast." But I'm not sure if that counts because I had to drop a word to make it work.

hahahahah

Every time I see a DeWalt power tool I sing their brand name to the tune of 'Down on the Street'.

Thanks to Nigella Lawson, I have spent a good chunk of the day singing "microwave" to the tune or "Rico Suave"

"Beef Bourgignon" to 'Carol of the bells'

QAnon to the tune of Rhiannon, how do I make it stop?

“will Q ever win?”

All your life you've never seen / a president treated more unfairly

Timothee Chalamet, to the tune of "sur le pont d'Avignon"

loll

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!!'

haha, Lily's one is great too

'Q Anon' always sets off the 'and on and on and onnn...' bit of Don't Stop Believin' for me - which is distressing as I see it about 10 times a day at the moment.

I am dying at "Micro! Wave!"

Cranch!

when I see the TRUE DETECTIVE thread my brain sings Undertones “true confessions”: “TRUETRUETRUETRUETRUE TRUE DETECTIVE!!!”

hahahahahah

This weekend, I was charged with distracting my partner's dog with a freeze-dried "Wild Weenie" treat product. Unfortunately, just at that moment, I had "Angry Johnny" by Poe stuck in my head. It begins.

The Police Message In A Bottle gets triggered in my brain whenever I see KFC's local billboards Chicken in a bucket

I live fairly near Holloway Road in London, whenever I see reference to it or go past it I have to sing Lindsey Buckingham's "Holiday Road"

For me it's Devo's "Whip It": "Try True Detective / It's not too late"

The Police Message In A Bottle gets triggered in my brain whenever I see KFC's local billboards Chicken in a bucket

lmao

Wow, I somehow never connected the syllabic pattern of "Message in a Bottle" with my near-constant "Girlfriend in a Coma" trochee fixation.

Up to now I would almost certainly immediately sing "chicken in a bucket I know, I know, it's serious."

Now I am going to have to completely reassess "Message in a Bottle." In both directions! So like I can sing "Message in a bottle I know, I know, it's serious." But also everything like "kitten with a backpack" can be Policified, not just Smithsed.

This is mindblowing.

I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Girlfriend in a coma, yeah

lmao

ditto re immediately going to Girlfriend in a Coma!

probably due to the long-standing "chicken in a korma, I know, I know..."

when I was a kid everybody talked about Ozzy's "Crazy Train", but I didn't think I'd heard it before (turns out...I actually hadn't).

so I heard "Have a Cigar" by Pink Floyd and when they said "riding the gravy train" I thought they said "riding the Crazy train" and I wasl ike "why do people think this is a classic heavy metal song, wtf, there's an organ in it"

"i'll send an extra crisp to the world" is A+
