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!

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
