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!

    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.18,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable. - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
    • Best to just get in touch with the council. You need to see what works were approved and the scope.  It's probably advisable to get an independent legal survey (not a standard RICS) and look at current condition, what they said they'd fix, if they did what they said and what the problems are with what they did. Was it just your flat and the other flat mentioned? Asking in case there's any other leaseholder/ tenant involved  
    • Terry did some work for us recently, putting in an outdoor socket - happy to add my recommendation to this thread. Lovely chap, takes pride in his work, and charges a reasonable price.
