Specifically, last night I was thinking about asking what old TV catch phrases you all remember. The one that kept going through my head was "Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog."
Now, as it turns out this morning, that is STUCK in my head, so I'll change it up a bit.
What phrases can you remember (commercials, anything) that are fun....or get stuck in your head? Songs, anything!
Riley, the "After these messages we'll be...RII-ight back" is right up there with me, too. And for some reason, that brings back to me Saturday mornings, watching PeeWee's playhouse and eating vienna sausages from a can. Ahh...the 80s.
There was this one, too, with a claymation dog and fire hydrant, and I can't remember what it was...
Ruby, I still have my It's a Small World record. It has graduated from my plastic Fisher Price record player to my Philco these days, but it's still in my collection. :)
I made the mistake o buying my grandson a karate chimpmunk for Christmas...ge & all, singing "kung fo fighting" while it twirled numchucks. Well, I got sick & we haven't done Christmas yet, but that doesn't stop my brain from singing "kung fo fighting"
I get random song lyrics stuck in my head all the time. Sometimes it's songs I don't even like - that really sucks.
Hazel, I love it when I get Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Django Reinhardt, or Edith Piaf stuck in my head!
"Plop-plop, fizz-fizz, oh what a relief it is!"
"I am stuck on Bandaids, cause Bandaids stuck on me!"
"Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner, cause that is what I'd truly like to be. Cause if I were an Oscar Meyer weiner, everyone would be in love with me!" (Especially during the Weiner scandle with him and his weiner pictures all over the news!)
Musicals pop in my head, epecially Phantom of the Opera and Beauty and the Beast (I dream songs I sing and wake up with those songs in my head in the middle of the night, including songs in different languages). Whatever I'm currently working on stays in my head too.
When my kids were little, Raffi and Wee Sing Dinosaurs were ALWAYS in my head. I think I learned all of the dinosaurs' names from that...
Dawn
Well, 2 weeks ago, husband and I went out to dinner to one of our favorite restaurants and I had the shrimp. At 4:00 a.m. I woke up ill... for the next several hours as I was in the bathroom vomiting, I had the commercial for a seafood restaurant (not the place we had eaten) running through my head. It was maddening!
Here's the song: "Iguana's seafooooood.... it's shwimply the beeeest!" With this smarmy sounding "shwimply". UGH. I hated that commercial even before I was sick and had it running through my mind.
"Woof" ;-)
Thanks to my kids' recent exposure to the new "Chipmunks" movies, they are now all constantly walking around the house singing, "You spin me right round baby, right round...." and I can't even sit in my desk chair anymore without my 20 month old coming up and singing it to me while trying to spin my chair around. So that has been stuck in my head for weeks. I've since deleted the "Chipmunks" movies off my iPad ;-)
When my kids were little, my H put a segment of a song on our computer boot up. So it would play every time we turned the computer on.
My 2 yr old stayed with my cousin for a few hours one time and she said she laughed so hard at him. He layed in the floor singing:
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, thats amore!
As sung by Dean Martin. You just sang it didn't you?
Stuck in head: Early Madonna songs. Regularly, and for no reason at all.This is appalling to me, really, as I kinda loathe her music. :( Oh, and that "Moves Like Jagger" song too. Or Music Together stuff. ugh. Wish I could install some awesome "jazz override" and get some good Monk or Miles Davis when this happens. In fact, I'd pay good money for this.
@ Carol--- ha! The Kung Fu Hamster! We had one too, a chump gift for my husband when he was voted poet laureate for our little guerrilla street poetry group. I have since banished said rodent!
I wasn't gonna do it ---- but I have to do it ------ I really shouldn't do it ------
But you asked for it ......
It's a Small World After All --- It's a Small World After All ---- It's a Small World After All ---- It's a Small Small World...... onto infinity.....
AND:
It's the song that never ends .................
a
AND:
for some odd reason...
Mr Sandman send me a dream,
Make him the cutest I've ever seen,
So put on your magic beam,
Mr. Sandman send me a dreeeeeeemmmmmmmmm.
"Who Loves Ya, Baby?" (Kojak from when I was a little kid, watching with my dad)
Oh, and "Da Plane! Da Plane!" (Fantasy Island)
:D
Meow, meow, meow meow........that old Meow Mix cat food commercial.
I was humming it the other day...LOL
Right now I've got the Sisters song from White Christmas stuck in my head, occasionally superimposed over Gangam Style. I....have no idea. But it sounds neat in my head!
I still periodically do the
... We'll be RIGHT back! (In the same cadence as the af-ter theeeese messages)
Suddenly! And without warning!!!
Back in the enchanted forest...
Every theme song from every tv show from my childhood. The Beverly Hillbillies, The Flintstones, Gilligans Island, Spiderman, Batman, The Jetsons etc.
That is funny, I say Sit Ubu Sit to my dog all the time. And what really does get stuck in my head, is the song that is playing on the radio, when my alarm goes off in the morning. I sing that song all day long in my head.
Raffi songs. I sing them in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. It's quite painful.
"Snap Crackle Pop Rice Crispies!"
"Sometimes you feel like a nut....sometimes you don't. ALMOND Joy's got nuts, Mounds don't. Sometimes you feel like a nut! Sometimes you don't!" (I sing that to my boys all the time and they say "Nut" and "don't" and the right times...since they were babies.
"You can't always get what you waaaaant. SOMETIMES you get what you neeeed!" (Rolling Stones) I sang that to them all the time too.
BACON!! All kid songs, stuck on bandaid, toys r us kid, the hamster dance, all chipmunks songs (including the Christmas one!), random movie quotes, many more!
"I WANNA ROCK!" --Twisted Sister. If I hear it once, I sing it for 3 days. I have a little collection of stones my husband has given me when I get on that song. :)
Plop....Plop...Fizz...Fizz. Oh what a relief it is. (Alkaseltzer)
The song "Leave It" by Yes. I don't even remember all the lyrics but that song gets stuck in my head ALL the time!
