Woody-

I know about the antidote, but it seems whenever I do the first couple bars of 'Jeannie' at work, within seconds everyone within ear shot is humming it. And even though they get to the end "...bad dum bum BUM!" they just have to start it all over again. It goes on until I do the first two lines to Gilligan's Island (which is ironic given your and Steve's posts ) and then they all start on that. Social engineering is such a fun thing...

If you find yourself in danger,
Or you're threatened by a stranger,
If you you think that you might take a likken,
Buk buk buk buk
There is something you can can do,
There's someone who will rescue you,
Just caaalll- on Super Chicken!
BuGAAaack!

If you're afraid you'll have to overlook it,
Because you knew the job was dang'rous when you took it,
Bugaak!

Oh no. There it goes again.... Bugaakk!

In olden days they would hang a crowd like this from the town's lampposts as an example for those who exceed public decency.

Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Tomorrow your bound to die

OOOPS, I may have a lynch mob at MY door.

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness of my soul

Shadows on the hill
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

(the rest is left as an exercise for the, uh, listener)

...and there's this whcih goes with a similar tune to the verse of campdown races:

I got a song that will get on your nerves
Get on your nerves
Get on your nerves
I got a song that will get on your nerves
Get, get, get on your nerves

Sorry, couldn't help it! :eek: :D

Cheers

Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide.
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.


New York is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.


...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square


You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.

:) :D :eek:

Ok, since you asked so nicely..

Opening goes like this:

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.


At the end of the Show:

Well now its time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?.

Chronologically, original, and evil clone. Danny Devito, in "Twins", "You mean, I'm the crap?!" Talk about a source of "stray voltage".........

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We got some work to do now.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We need some help from you now.

Come on Scooby-Doo, I see you... pretending you got a sliver
But you're not fooling me, cause I can see, the way you shake and shiver.

You know we got a mystery to solve,
So Scooby Doo be ready for your act. [Scooby Doo]
Don't hold back!
And Scooby Doo if you come through
you're going to have yourself a scooby snack!
That's a fact!

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, here Are You.
You're ready and you're willing.
If we can count on you Scooby Doo,
I know you'll catch that villian.

If I walked into a bar and played every song on this thread they would find my body in the dumpster pummelled to death by bottles, purses, and snapped to death by bar towels.

In Heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here

He sighed a sigh of relief as he returned to civilization, he was set upon by 5 civilized dogs, driven to frenzy by his atrocious attempts to sing Rolling Stones songs A Capellla.
