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 ....

  • 5 months later...

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!

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
