Gah! This song is driving me mad! (But I like it.)


Recommended Posts

Ooh, you're a bad man. Fear and I sometimes have earworm wars in the music room.

I believe someone did reserach into this and found wimmawah (or however it's spelt) otherwise known as the lion sleeps tonight, to be the most vicious earworm around.

IN case anyone has an anti virus, a DOS attack...

Wim-away, wim-away, wim-away, wim-away.....

For the parents out there, there's nothing worse than getting any of the following stuck in your head:


Balamory (theme tune and "which coloured house")

Come Outside (look up, look down, look all around, up in the aiiiiiiiir or on the ground)

In the night garden (yes! my name is iggle piggle, iggle-piggle-iggle-piggle wiiii-gle)

by a Kiwi band called Evermore.


Saw this song live at the Pyramid Rock Festival in Melbourne last New Year, and it was about the only song of the whole weekend I thought I may have heard before. Anyway, I downloaded it recently, and it has been in my head since. Nothing amazing, but it's a nice enough song.

i am blighted by that crock of sh*t that was number one for ages. i dare not mention the title for fear it re etch itself into my brain only to take ages to disappear. it's the tune about an item that keeps one dry in the rain which apparently signifies how tight their love is. how poetic.


i hear you about the kids programme themes and raise you with big cook little cook. when suffering from a temperature each of those tunes paraded merry go round and round and round my fevered brain... absoloute hell.

I've been stuck on this tune for a while ... literally spent last wednesday shopping all day singing this out loud... it's now played hourly by xfm! Urgh.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9r_8gWP8Ek


PS - I found an alternative video to go with the tune ....

I keep blooming walking around with the one line "blinded by the light" (and my own version of what the rest of the sentance might be, something about "like a roller in the night!!") in my head ever since I posted it on the Song Game! and its driving me crazy.


Talking of own versions of lyrics, during the song "Angel of the morning" I got used to get the lyrics messed up and say "just touch my feet before you leave me, darling!" I did this quite unconsciously, funny what some people hear in a lyric!

    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps

    • Ahh shame about the cost of replacing the battery - especially (and I am assuming here) as the car probably isn't worth that much.  I do, however, think your decision is better than scrapping the car.  I will still update the results of our "experiment" in case this is of interest to others.  I absolutely refuse to scrap an otherwise perfectly good vehicle (especially as ours is ULEZ compliant - despite its age).  Nor am I enamoured with the idea of driving more just to keep the battery going.  If this little £35 gadget does the business then I shall be very happy.  We shall see......... Enjoy all those extra journeys, though if our gadget works then you might benefit from purchasing one and trickle-charging from time to time to save you having to make them.
