wispfoxThere are many really strange childhood songs in my head. Seriously.
"Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts, mutilated monkey meat, chopped up parakeet, french fried eyeballs floating in a bowl of blood, and I forgot my spoon. But I remembered my straaaaw!"
"I don't care if I go crazy, one two three four five six switch! Crazy go I if care don't I, six five four three two one switch!"
"My brother Tony was very bony, because he would never eat his meals. And so we gave him medicinal compound, and now we roll him 'round on wheels!" - slight variation for memory and singing changes, of course. But I _have_ a younger brother Tony (actually Anthony, and he no longer answers to 'Tony'), and he _was_ really bony. I didn't actually know it existed anywhere other than in my family member's heads, so now I'm highly amused!
There are probably more, but nothing has triggered them recently. And y'all _don't_ want to know how many random christian/catholic folk songs there are in my head.

I don't _think_ so?

Re: childhood songs
Date: 2004-07-07 08:11 pm (UTC)And yes, I do vaguely remember the first, and certainly the second!
I also have bunches of songs in my head from learning to play the piano and violin, I'm sure.

Date: 2004-07-07 08:04 pm (UTC)What about songs from Square One? :)
I am a neighborhood superspy. I am a number one kinda guy.
This is the song that never ends...
Re: Crazy? I was crazy once (worms monologue)
Date: 2004-07-07 08:14 pm (UTC)Bad evil neverending song!
Also... Rubber Ducky (http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/rubberdu.htm)! RUBBER DUCKY! You have _no_ idea how many pairs of words will get sung in that initial phrasing and therefore stick that song in other people's heads. :)
And! Not childhood, but I do the same thing with the dreidel song. I say words three times _often_, and this sometimes gets the dreidel song in response. Which is amusing because I'm not and have never been Jewish!

*thinks nostalgically of Square One (http://home.comcast.net/~nspil/sq1.htm)*
Would you believe I'd forgotten about it? :)
/me started nothing... just brain dumping! Really!
Re: Crazy? I was crazy once (worms monologue)
Date: 2004-07-08 08:39 pm (UTC)*shares in the nostalgia* It used to be on Noggin, a while ago. Then they cut it again. :(
You forgot Mathman? *aghast*
Did so. :P
Square One! Da da da da da duh. Square One! Da da da da da duh. *waves hands in air*

"Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut just now..."
"On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese..."
"The littlest worm, I ever saw, was stuck inside, my soda straw..."
