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)

hahahah

Newport Folk Fest has taken on the tune of Camper Van Beethoven's No More Bullshit in my mind.

“Coconut Yogurts” was on the shopping list, and my brain did this v strongly to the tune of “Buffalo Soldier.”

Stolen from Africa
Placed in my shopping cart

Coconut yogurt
Milk-based culture
Fermenting sugars
With Bifidobacteria

Singing: Mmm Danone / Mmm-mm Danone

there's a bar I visit
that's Wu-Tang themed and plays nothing
but 90s hip hop.

i love every visit.
and it's not just the usual songs either.
wide variety.

my new favourite verse of "How Will I Know"

hahaha

On Lok restaurant always puts “California Gurls”into my head.

someone on social media posted about a project called Alternative Art School

now it is permanently to the tune of Alternative Ulster

Girlfriend is a big John Mayer + Seinfeld fan. Every time Love On the Weekend comes on we sing:

Love on the weekend
Love on the weekend
I’m out there, Jerry
And I’m lovin’ every minute of it

We've had watermelon-feta salad a couple of times this summer which in my head is invariably sung by Harry Styles.

Upland bog
We’ve been hiking in an upland bog

"Drawn Into the Flight Path of Sounds" --> every time I see this thread title, I sing it to "Caught up in the rapture of you" from that Anita Baker song

The "defenestrate them all" thread is to the tune of The Winner Takes it All.

Some antibiotics say they can be taken with or without food so of course then I’m tricked into singing U2.

xp - that thread title always gets me into "Defenestrate them all / no mercy shown / heaven knows it's got to be this time ..."

My kids' Cheerios box says "You Oat-A-Know" on the back.

And I'm like:

Well I'm here!
To remind you!
Of the oats they put in your cereal!

Kostas Tsimikas to the tune of What's New, Pussycat?

lol @ last two

Nunslaughter's latest album is called Red is the Color of Ripping Death

and all I can hear is Nick Hexum singing

whoa oh
red is the color of ripping death
whoa oh

Asiago cheese.

When I see it I have to sing (internally, I'm not a monster) "Ohhh asia-a-go, obá obá obá" (Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 "Mas Que Nada," and I had to google the lyrics to get the obá obá obá.)

Lol, good one

Dear Evan Hansen to the tune of Kaleidoscope's "Dear Nellie Goodrich." Makes it way more tolerable to hear about Dear Evan Hansen.

Been playing Lego and I have a.... Brick Separator

(Smooth Operator, obviously)

When I'm feeling stressed I start singing "im gonna get stressed / and de-pressed" to Roxette's 'Dressed For Success'

It started with Holloway Road, which of course is v close to "Holiday Road", but now my brain has been doing this for every sign with "road" on it in London, no matter how tortured the meter. Halp!

I used to walk by Harriet Street in Pittsburgh all the time in the early 90s, and it seemed like it should be the hook of some wet indie song, perhaps obliquely about getting your 7" put out by Harriet Records, "I want to live on Harriet Street". There's also Sarah Street in another part of town, but that didn't inspire the same jangly guitar sounds in my head.

Chic - "Dance, Dance, Dance (Gyoza, Gyoza, Gyoza)" (when I'm making gyoza)

sometimes people on Twitter write "get in the bin" and I imagine it sung to the tune of Sparks' "Get In The Swing"

When I'm feeling stressed I start singing "im gonna get stressed / and de-pressed" to Roxette's 'Dressed For Success'

Nice. When I'm exceptionally stressed it's "TIME TO HAVE STRESS!!!" to Mad Cobra's "Flex (Time to Have Sex)".

When taking the trash out on a rainy night (or when finding that someone else is throwing something out that would've been a great find if it wasn't already soaked): "sometimes it rains on trash night" to "Sometimes it Snows in April".

Upon returning home and being met at the door by my cat: "Cat! / Savior of the universe! / Cat! / She'll save every one of us!" to Queen's "Flash".

When I sing the diarrhea song I always replace "feel something burst" with "feel like Fred Durst"

oh no

(fred schneider voice) we can be heroes, just for one DAY

One of my facebook friends just posted, "I wish I knew why I was on this plane," and my brain has been singing the beginning of "Half Past France" ever since.

There is a meme going around with a picture of Billy Idol that says "It's a nice day for a... light sweater" and the ln "It's a nice day for a... CARDIGAAAAN."

And I would just like to say thT I approve of this meme and I am incorporating these into my lifestyle

Because I am sheep

Baaa

Baa

"I wish I knew why I was on this plane,"

"No one said that this jet was easy / did that no one ever take a jet this hard?" to Jawbreaker's "Ashtray Monument".

The Elton song Are You Ready for Lunch? is popular in my brain.

I've had the Four Tops' 'Bernadette' stuck in my head for like the last day and a half except at some point it morphed into 'Burn To Death' so that's what I just keep hearing over and over now

xp, "Ready for Lunch" is a Bad Company jam.

lol i picked up "Burn to Death" off a misheard-lyrics site circa 2005 and it absolutely defines the song to me. terrifying.

lol, yeah, I hope it hasn't permanently ruined the song for me (e.g. that thing where I can't not hear Falco sing 'hot potatoes, hot potatoes').

Van Halen's "Hot for Treacher" is an all time favorite, the well known classic about Roth's fetish for fish n chips

Whenever these are around, I sing the name like the Pixies’ “Caribou”:

Van Halen's "Hot for Treacher" is an all time favorite, the well known classic about Roth's fetish for fish n chips

lol i'm just going to take it all the way to being a boastful metaphor concerning his rock-star success: "I've got it made, I've got it made, I've got it made - I'm Arthur Treacher." sort of an "i think i'm Big Meech, Larry Hoover" type thing, but fast-food fish-n-chip related.

surprised to learn there is exactly one Arthur Treacher's establishment left. also that "Arthur Treacher" was a successful British actor whose affiliation with the company was kept vague. i think i'd always figured he was like ColoneL Sanders, or possibly Captain D.

lol wow. I never ate there either - just walked by one in the mall many times as a then fish-hating youth.

oh wow he was Constable Jones in Mary Poppins!

I think it’s “Got it bad, got it bad…” etc though admitttedly Roth’s accent makes it sound kinda funny

it is, but I misheard it as "made" the first time and have never entirely shaken it.

I wanna take you to a fig bar! Fig bar! Fig bar!
