After talk of rhubarb, and custard elsewhere in the Fforum, I had to go and find the "Rhubarb" theme tune. Thank goodness it's short and easily dealt with - but in case you are interested try here on YouTube

I was plagued by "WATERLOO" earlier- took this evening's fireworks to put "YANKEE ROSE" in there instead, though I wouldn't recommend it on a daily basis...

Ah, how about 'Remember you're a Womble' by the Wombles (Mike Batt)?

I always seem to gain more earworms reading this thread than losing them. Now I've got a few days of the wombles to look forward to!

It's all part of the master plan to evacuate the board and proclaim myself Emperor. No worries.

Worse one of the lot coming up: driving past my local church today, saw a board proclaiming: Christmas market in church hall this Saturday, 25th November! Okay, it was tilted sideways, and obviously something else had been scrawled on the back, before the wind flipped it over. But that got me musing on the Angel at Woodhatch, which has a big wooden board permanently on display, telling us the landlord is away this weekend collecting trees from Norway (and it's spooky, because both those notices look like they were painted yesterday)

It's taken twelve bloody hours for me to stop warbling 'Rudolph the red nosed reindeer' every time I get behind the wheel. Got some funny looks at traffic lights, I can tell you.

I'm just going to keep chucking these in until I'm hounded away from the topic...

'Karma Chameleon'.

Right Said Fred, anyone you care to mention. There is only so much Bernard Cribbins I can take.

As part of my 'meditation when facing the surgeon's knife/saw/drill/intention to do some irregular activity with my body I got into the habit of bringing up a tranquil scene in my mind and remembering the Beethoven 6 quiet bits.

Now when I remember B6 quiet bits I have a hard time staying alert*, and it keeps right on returning, every minute I'm awake.....oh bugger......






* Be a lert: the world needs lerts

An ignorant question: What are the Beethoven Six Quiet Bits?

Well, he could hear his tongue, so that might be one of them

B6's (not in pyjamas) quiet bits are relative to B6's noisy bits, which I cannot remember when in rapid conjunction with a surgeon.

As to whether he could hear his tongue, or only feel it, is a matter of conjecture.


Someone mentioned 'Waterloo';. I am plagued now with the Stonewall Jackson song merging and mutating with the ABBA song.

But as the poet said, 'the music has ended but the malady lingers on'.

The best earworms are the pauses between tracks on an LP.

My newest earworm is somewhat obscure: 'Whole Wide World' by the Proclaimers. Whatever you do, do not look this up on YouTube! It is DEADLY.

Egon.

I've just acquired one: The Ring of Fire! With Johnny Cash...!
I keep singing it over and over.

Add 'Kokomo' by the Beach Boys to the list. Five days and only just fading!

I think you should get your skull checked, perhaps you need to have a leak? It sounds as though your head is airtight!

Re Jazz's 9 July posting:

At our local church there was a sign that said 'If you are tired of sin, come in.'

Scrawled across the bottom was a note that read: 'If you are not, call 0408......."

and at a different church there was a similar formal announcement:

'Why condemn your soul for 15 minutes of pleasure?' under which a female hand had written:'How do you make it last 15 minutes?'.

<white pill time>

My head is definitely airtight. 'Tragedy' by the Bee Gees now. Arbitrary scapegoat is Radio 2.

Bibwit: That is the Chilli Song yes?
