This is getting more ingrained as I get older.

New ones:
Scrubbin' the potatoes - to the Donna Summer - I Feel Love intro

Not strictly what this thread describes but I listened to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road quite a lot and the lyrics 'Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood - and teaching would suit you still less' - from the Dentist song in Little Shop of Horrors - just jump right in there, every time (at the 'Maybe you'll get a replacement - there's plenty like me to be found' bit).

Colonel Gaddafi is on his way
Colonel Gaddafi is here to stay

It took me a few seconds to recall what the original song was.

Oh yo, it was Grendel
Yo, he worked at Red Lobster but I didn’t remendel

POOOOOOOOOOLLL!

Linen by linen, by linen, by linen
I keep holding on

“Oooh ohh” in Heart of Glass is “mmm Danone” for me, a yoghurt jingle.

Playing in my brain's radio this morning:

Will Smith: "I'm goin' to New Jersey" (backup singer): "Welcome to New Jersey"

If done up in a ludicrously parodic Joisey accent by local radio talent, that could have made a good bumper for NJ FM stations in the late 90s.

I used to wake up in the morning, I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights, I went and told my dad
He said, "Son, now here's some little something,"
And stuck it on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all (I don't feel bad at all)

Felisa me muero!

Earlier, in the next room, boxes of Girl Scout cookies were being counted for distribution. I heard the phrase "Two Trefoils..." – and sang out, "...and a microphooooone!"

I was very proud of this. #DaddestOfDads

I don't want my pizza burnin

when I was in 6th grade choir they made us sing 'intro' songs, usually existing melodies with lyrics changed to be about facts about us, and one duo chose "Do You Love Me?" as their melody but sang "Do you know me? No I don't! Do you know me? No I don't! Do you know me? Now you're in my class!" and that's still how I hear it to this day because I remember only the most inane shit from childhood.

mostly happens to me with thread titles now

"I HATE Steely Dan" -> The Spongetones' "My Girl Maryanne"

"Elon Musk" -> Throwing Muses' "Ellen West" ("dancing on his graaaave")

also:
Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?
Worse than it used to be
Worse than it used to be

also happens a lot with names in mailboxes, but I can't share those :(

"I HATE Steely Dan"
Put another coin in the jukebox baby
