We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
When a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung

Clinic "Distortions" and Andy Kim "Baby I Love You" --- no specific moment of connection, just shared vibes and maybe key/chords?

Do you belive in life after love
I can hear a voice inside me saying
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back any more
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

verse lyrics of "Video Killed the Radio Star" to the tune of the verse of "Heat of the Moment" :

And now we meet in an ab-an-doned stu-di-oooo
We hear the playback and it seems so long a-gooo

I heard you on my wireless back in fifty-two
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you

also, one i keep forgetting to post tho it's happened to me dozens of times: the intro to "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard" flowing into and out of the main riff of "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life"

The Ronettes recorded a song called "Here I Sit" where the first line is actually "Here I sit, brokenhearted" making it absoutely impossible not to mentally complete the lyric. But I assume Phil Spector intended that to happen as a little joke. (The song was scotched as a single release in 1965 but has appeared on official releases subsequently).

hmm. a songwriting inside joke just waiting to reach Paul McCartney on "Treat Her Gently - Lonely Old People"

Dear god, hope you get the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me (yeah)
Quick, jump out 'fore you let it get inside of me (yeah)

one month passes...

Apparently this is how my brain thinks Michael Bivins’ breakdown in Motownphilly goes now:

Now check this out, one day back in Philly
Four guys wanted to sing, they came up to me I said
"Well what's your name?" (Boys II Men!)
Hey, ya know what I'm sayin'?
Action took place (hey)
Kinda wet (c’mon)
Don't forget
The J the I the M the M the Y y'all
I need a body bag

peace, man, Monday, 19 April 2021 16:06 (three years ago) link

this belongs in a misheard lyrics thread instead but just to follow up on your mashup, epistantophus, when I was a kid and that song was everywhere, I thought it was

Now check this out, one day back in Philly
Four guys, one of 'em silly

And henceforth it shall ever be when I listen to the song

For the last week I've had the lyrics of Paperback Writer to the tune of Temporary Secretary stuck in my head.

ohhhhh... they're kind of the same song aren't they?

i've come to that conclusion, yes.

I saw you on the poster, your song is the bomb and you're outrageous (sure)
I see you're living' large with your crib and your cars and that's just great, but
Like "Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause you can't handle me

One that goes two separate ways:

Beautiful South- Funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn't it, isn't it?
Your face has been looking like that for hours, hasn't it, hasn't it?
(Alisha's Attic: I click my heels together three times, it sparks a little but nothing happens)
/Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust

My loneliness calls

Madonna's "La Isla Bonita", Lady Gaga's "Alejandro", and ABBA's "Fernando" sometimes blur together into one song in my head.

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with the numberless
Little white flowers
Tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

I would swap out "Fernando" for "Bailamos", but pretty much

Right now it's a sloppy collision of Three Lions and Merry Christmas Everybody

Football's on the wall
Thirty years of Christmas
Jules Rimet's a sleigh
Santa and his reindeer
So here it is Merry football
Got three reindeers on me shirt
Look to the future now
The football's just begun
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's Christmas
Football's having fun
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's Christmas
Football's just begun

repeated with increasing echo and calliope noises as the protagonist struggles to keep eyes open, camera turns and twists, losing focus, the image begins to duplicate and revolve around itself as if in a kaleidoscope

I was just reminded of "Nobody's Fool" by Cinderella and when trying to remember it, it fused with "Screwing Yer Courage" by Team Dresch in my head: "I count the falling tears, they fall before my eyes/Just like so much corn in late July"
