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

mahb, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 08:27 (two years ago) link

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

Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 10:10 (two years ago) link

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

Whitney: And when the night falls
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.

Electronic "Getting Away With It" / Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way"

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

Fauna Sukkot (Deflatormouse), Sunday, 6 June 2021 07:07 (two years ago) link

Well, she does say "Fernando" in "Alenjandro"

two weeks pass...

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"

My boyfriend's back
And you're gonna be in trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry
Be happy

The Devil went down to Georgia

That time then and once again
I'm bouncing 'round the room
That time then and once again
...and all the Philly steaks you can eat

Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 5 August 2021 11:13 (two years ago) link

to be fair, you really can mentally put "and all the Philly steaks you can eat" at the end of pretty much any stanza in pop music

And I encourage everyone to do so

Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 5 August 2021 11:16 (two years ago) link

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
...and all the Philly steaks you can eat

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it

TOUT TOUT POUR MA CHERIE, MA CHERIE
TOUT TOUT POUR MA CHERIE, MA CHERIE

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Friday, 6 August 2021 07:24 (two years ago) link

For some reason I hear just enough melodic similarity in "Hold Me Now" and "Here, There, and Everywhere" that I inadvertently mash these lyrics up:

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world
We know we'll never find

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching their eyes
And hoping I'm always there

when you're sliding into first
and you feel something burst
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me

Watched the Sparks movie and now have a medley of I Married Myself/Under The Table With Her/Tips For Teens bouncing around my head.

I've been doing this with "Whoomp! There It Is" and "Boom Boom Boom" as of recent.

Friends tell me I am crazy

But the rhythm is gonna get ya

I always like to pretend it's "The Griffin is gonna get ya". Much scarier

Not quite a mashup, but the words "Screaming Like a Baby" to the tune of "Treat Her Like a Lady."

Donny Hathaway - This Christmas, but the jazzy turnaround after the chorus drops straight into the theme from Taxi.

This has been plaguing me all week

Yesterday it was these two songs: Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Vanessa From Queens / the Boo Radleys - Charles Bukowski Is Dead. They must be in roughly the same key and tempo because I started thinking of one and then the middle eighth from the other kind of interrupted it. Not sure which one though
