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!

    • When the charity I was involved with had to go into voluntary liquidation during Covid as majority of our funding ceased, We did not have sufficient income to cover the £50.000 pa rent, we had to get rid of 30 years plus of confidential files. We went through a confidential shredding company who took away a hundred plus sacks for shredding. They supplied the sacks and when we could not store anymore, they came and collected. 
    • Just got this...... Thank you for your continued patience and understanding during the closure of the pool at Dulwich Leisure Centre. We deeply appreciate your support throughout this period. We’re pleased to let you know that school swimming successfully resumed as part of our phased reopening. This was an important step in testing the performance of the existing filtration system and we’re happy to report that it has coped well. With that reassurance, we’re now ready to move forward with the next stages of reopening: Phase 2 – Morning Lane Swimming, Silver Swim and Aqua Aerobics Dates: From 9 June to 13 July Weekdays: 6:30am to 8:30am Saturdays: 7:00am to 8:00am Tuesday Silver Swim sessions: 3pm to 4pm Tuesday Aqua Aerobics class: 11:30am to 12:30pm Phase 3 – Evening Lane Swimming Dates: 1 July to 13 July Monday to Friday: 8:00pm to 9:45pm Full Closure for Filter Installation The new state-of-the-art filters are scheduled to arrive in mid-July. To allow for installation, the pool will close for approximately six weeks. Pool Closure Dates: 14 July to 24 August We know another closure may be disappointing, but this work is essential for delivering a safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable swimming environment going forward. Phase 4 - Full Reopening Date: 25 August We anticipate that we will be able to fully re-open the pool on 25 August. All programmes will resume, and swimming lessons will return to Dulwich Leisure Centre. Swimming lessons Swimming lessons will remain at alternative venues until we fully re-open to avoid further disruption. We look forward to welcoming you back to lessons at Dulwich when we fully re-open. A separate email will be sent nearer the time to confirm details. Help us to keep the pool clean As we welcome swimmers back, please remember that good pool hygiene is vital for everyone’s safety. We kindly ask all swimmers to shower before entering the water — it really helps us keep the pool clean and maintain a healthy environment for all. Membership Adjustments We’ll continue to keep you informed throughout this process and will share full details soon about eligibility for membership adjustments. Thank you again for your continued patience and support. We look forward to seeing you back in the pool very soon. Warm regards, Phillippa Gillespie General Manager, Dulwich Leisure Centre
