What’s your Earwig?!

Locked

According to Maecuff, an Earwig is a tune that gets through your ear into your brain, and drives you to distraction!

As an earwig-squasher, how about posting your earwig on the discussion to see if one of your peers can get rid of it for you?

It needn?t just be earwigs ? it could be that tune that you heard a few notes of on the way into work, and is constantly playing in your head.

Or you?re trying to find a particular track but you don?t know the artist.

Or you know the artist but not the track.

I know there are sites out there that do this, but I think this will be much more fun! Besides that, it?s Friday, we?re all on wind-down for the weekend anyway. :p

(that?s apart from the fact that the majority of people where I work are still constrained by the fact that we?ve all lost our user drive on the network??.ohwhatapitynevermind?? and I?m bored??.) ;\

My particular earwig this morning ? and one that I don?t want squished ? is a Status Quo track which was blasting on the radio on the way in called ?The Party Ain?t Over Yet?????and my boss keeps asking me to stop head-banging over the keyboard?? 😀

This morning on the BBC News, they interviewed Roger McGough about his poetry. Unfortunately, they also showed a clip of him in Scaffold, singing Lily the Pink.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! F**king Medicinal Compounds. The last time that I heard that it took [b]years[/b] to get it out of my brain.

Here you go, GG. This’ll shift the Quo.

We’ll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case.

Mr. Frears
had sticky-out ears
and it made him awful shy
and so they gave him medicinal compound
and now he’s learning how to fly.

Brother Tony
Was notably bony
He would never eat his meals
And so they gave him medicinal compound
Now they move him round on wheels.

We’ll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case.

Old Ebeneezer
Thought he was Julius Caesar
And so they put him in a Home
where they gave him medicinal compound
and now he’s Emperor of Rome.

Johnny Hammer
Had a terrible stammer
He could hardly say a word
And so they gave him medicinal compound
Now he’s seen (but never heard)!

We’ll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case.

Auntie Millie
Ran willy-nilly
When her legs, they did recede
And so they rubbed on medicinal compound
And now they call her Millipede.

Jennifer Eccles
had terrible freckles
and the boys all called her names
but she changed with medicinal compound
and now he joins in all their games.

We’ll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case.

Lily the Pink, she
Turned to drink, she
Filled up with paraffin inside
and despite her medicinal compound
Sadly Picca-Lily died.

Up to Heaven
Her soul ascended
All the church bells they did ring
She took with her medicinal compound
Hark the herald angels sing.

Oooooooooooooooo Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’ll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case.

no, pet,

In reply to One for the older Brits

NOTHING can shift Quo, and especially not this pathetic tune. That must have been at the top of the charts for weeks – even my grandmother knew the words to that one!

I’ll stick with my Quo, thanks, even though Charlotte Church’s “I love it when you call my name” is on next door, and is infiltrating the vibes….! 😀

Doesn’t effect me

In reply to One for the older Brits

Since I don’t know the tune…

But after reading the words, now the Hollies song “Jennifer Eccles” is in my brain….

James

oh, well that worked, then!

In reply to Doesn’t effect me

😀

GG

It reminded me of the Philosopher’s Song

In reply to Doesn’t effect me

Similar meter and rhythm of the Monty Python work. Monty Python is driving me crazy!!! First the Traffic Light song, then I woke up this morning to “The Liberty Bell March”, originally a patriotic American song now better known as the Monty Python Flying Circus theme.

And, because it’s Friday

In reply to One for the older Brits

Two verses that didn’t make the record…

Oh Mrs. Murphy
(Mrs. Murphy)
Was perturbed because she couldn’t seem to pee
Till she took some of Lily’s compound
And now they run a pipeline to the sea!

And Peter Whelan
(Peter Whelan)
He was sad because he only had one nut
Till he took some of Lily’s compound
And now they grow in clusters ’round his butt

😀

Still got the bloody tune!

I don’t wish to know that….

In reply to And, because it’s Friday

……. kindly leave the stage…..:D

(some bright spark just started singing “gimme gimme gimme a man after midnite” [well, anytime, really] along the corridor…it’s unhooked my Quo….yahboosucks….)

In reply to One for the older Brits

Neil, can I just say that I hate you.

I read your post about an hour ago, took me a while to remember the tune, and now it’s not going anywhere. It’s there, squirming in my head, threatening to eat up what little sanity I have.

Thank you.

You’re welcome!

In reply to Aaaargh

But if it’s any consolation, reading your post has just restarted it for me!

On three!

Oooooooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’ll drink a drink a drink…

Cure for “Musical Cooties”

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

I’ve heard the term “Musical Cooties” as an alternative to “earwig”. The idea is not just to get rid of the tune, but to actively inflict it on someone else.

When I get a real clunker stuck in my head, I can usually run it off with a few choruses of Maria’s “I Feel Pretty” from “West Side Story”. Yeah, it’s sappy, but it does a good job of evicting whatever else is stuck in my head. It also has the added benefit of driving others to claw their ears off when I sing it out loud.

NeilB! nuther translation….

In reply to Cure for “Musical Cooties”

what the livin’eck is a cootie?!

(will you PLEASE hurry up with that cultural translation program you’re writing!!)

😀

GG

That’s an easy one

In reply to NeilB! nuther translation….

British Naval slang for a head louse. It’s mentioned in Hornblower. I didn’t even have to look it up.

Though I’m assuming that it means the same over there!

Neil 😀

Supplied free by Neil’s Translation Services for the betterment of Humanity (and because it’s Friday and sunny)

Negative.

In reply to That’s an easy one

The louse definition is not used commonly over here. It’s more often used to describe an imaginary critter tranferred between opposite sexes, usually referred to in juvenile conversations. “Janey, don’t let him touch you; he’ll get his cooties all over you!” They’re regarded as an imaginary venereal disease for pre-teens. Also used as a synonym for for terms such as “Tonsil Hockey”, “Swapping Spit”, “Tongue Wrestling”, “Copping a Feel”, “Grab Ass”, etc.

Thank you

In reply to Negative.

I’ll add it all to the cross-cultural database

I don’t think we’ve got an equivalent…

Yeuccch!

I bloody well hope not!

Sexy louse

In reply to Negative.

There is a louse that lives exclusively in the pubic hair, and thus can be transferred between the sexes.

Ah, I’d forgotten about them

In reply to Sexy louse

Stateside we call them “crabs”, as in “Don’t drop matches in the toilet, the crabs have learned how to pole-vault.”

I had to found out also

In reply to NeilB! nuther translation….

and apparently it’s little bugs in your head.Yuk.That bloody tune,or whatever which wont go away.As a Brit,I also like lots of music from across the pond.I find Green Day’s “wake me up when september ends”goes off through my lugholes for no apparent reason.But maybe I’m just mad…:)

You said it…..

In reply to I had to found out also

not me….! :p

Not too bad this morning..

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

I had “Watching the Detectives” by Elvis Costello playing when I woke up this morning. On the way in to work, I had the Queers going. Only one line though..”Hey you mother f*ckers, I only drink Bud”. Could be worse.

I walk after work and ALWAYS listen to the same music. A mixture of The Pixies and The Ramones. Then I keep up with the music, which is fast and faster. Of course, that means I go to sleep at night hearing those songs over and over.

Right now, I have The Jam playing..Down in the Tube Station at Midnight. Not in my head though, it’s actually playing..:)

I’m a carrier

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

and as such, and pretty much immune to most. I listen to music almost 24/7 and if wasn’t for video games, DVDS, and porn i wouldn’t even own a TV.

But, having small children has provided me with quite an arsonal to affront others with!

One of my favorites that is almost sure to stick is the Disney “It’s a small world”. I will whistle this quietly so people will have to make the effort to hear what I am whistleing (making them even more easily influenced!) and they will be hooked and beotching at me for the rest of the day. My work here is done….. :p

Of course, Mae has become infatuated with me giving her random thoughts to keep her company throught the day. She is very fond of the Barney theme song i found. (heehee)

Hmm, I take that back. As people who have followed my discussion, I admit to having “theme songs” that fit the day I am having and have posted the lyrics for the more prominate ones. Not quite the same as the annoying “earwig”, but I will intentionally hop on a song because it fits.

The other day (when my big D papers came in) I was back on the James Brown, I FEEL GOOD! Not too long before that I was stuck on the Misfits “Die die die, my darling!” and would have this jamm’en to the heavens as I race down the highway!

Going to take a road trip right now, and it feels like a “Stabbing Westward” kind of day!

Cheers!

Remember the theme from MASH

In reply to I’m a carrier

The first words were,”Suicide is painless….” ad nauseum. That tends to wander through tha back alleys of the mind after listening to some twit trying to make up a phoney excuse.

a carrier of what???!! :p

just think {Laurel and Hardy} you’ll have all that road trip {In The Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia} to try and get {on the trail of the lonesome pine} any little ditty or earwig {in the pale moonshine} out of your head {her eyes met mine} that may have managed {where she carved her name and I carved mine} to get into your brain so subtly {oh… Joooooooon} you didn’t even {like the mountains, I’m blue} notice it happening…..

I have one

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

It’s a song by Seven Nations and I don’t remember which one. I have the instrumental part in my head.

I like Traffic Lights

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

The Monty Python song “I Like Traffic Lights”, since I posted the lyrics in the “I Hate Democrats” discussion. I guess mine is self inflicted. 🙁

Monty Python

In reply to I like Traffic Lights

I was going to post this in one of the (many) religious discussions. When this one gets stuck, it gets stuck! I’m whistling it as I’m typing!

Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That’s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the ‘Milky Way’.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It’s a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it’s just three thousand light years wide.

We’re thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go ’round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that’s the fastest speed there is.

So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space,
‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth.

And all of the others but especially…

Always look on the bright side of life
(de do, de do, de do de do de do de do)

You Had To Ask Didn’t you?

In reply to I can never remember the words

Here’s the skit…

Monty Python Spam Song

Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word “spam” is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag.

Man: You sit here, dear.

Wife: All right.

Man: Morning!

Waitress: Morning!

Man: Well, what’ve you got?

Waitress: Well, there’s egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;

Vikings: Spam spam spam spam…

Waitress: …spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam…

Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!

Waitress: …or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?

Waitress: Well, there’s spam egg sausage and spam, that’s not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don’t want ANY spam!

Man: Why can’t she have egg bacon spam and sausage?

Wife: THAT’S got spam in it!

Man: Hasn’t got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

Vikings: Spam spam spam spam… (Crescendo through next few lines…)

Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?

Waitress: Urgghh!

Wife: What do you mean ‘Urgghh’? I don’t like spam!

Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up!

Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can’t have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam.

Wife: I don’t like spam!

Man: Sshh, dear, don’t cause a fuss. I’ll have your spam. I love it. I’m having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam!

Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.

Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?

Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam… (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)

Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

Now “The Radio Song” has started playing in my head!

My earwig started this whole earwig thing

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

when I mentioned a song in the “Absolute Right or Absolute Wrong” discussion. I’ve been listening to the radio 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the last 3 days trying to hear that song again so I could figure out the name of the damn thing.

Billy Joel.

Nope, wrong song

In reply to You may be right

Someone already suggested that one, ldyosng. Did I spell your name right? Well, it wasn’t the Billy Joel song. I still can’t think of the name or the singer of my damned earwig.

It’s actually Lady Of Song

In reply to Nope, wrong song

Pet Shop Boys?
Try this link. I searched on “you may be wrong”.
http://search.azlyrics.com/cgi-bin/azseek.cgi?q=you+may+be+wrong

You know that joke: you know you spend too much time on the computer when your screen name and your vanity plate are the same? That would be me.
I sang multi-track backup on the recording of a demo tape named Lady of Song. After we laid down the tracks, the writer/producer told me that the title song was about me, and gave me permission to use the title. The guy was odd and the song was sophomoric – but the thought was very sweet and a profound compliment. Oooh! And now it’s playing in my head. EARWIG!

Oh so that’s what “Ldyosng” means!

In reply to It’s actually Lady Of Song

Ldyosng = “Lady of Song” 😉 Why didn’t you make it easy on all of us and call yourself “singerbabe”. Or “ITbabewhosingsinhersparetime”. Or “ITbabewhousedtosinginhersparetime” if you don’t do much singing any more.

I don’t think my earwig is a Pet Shop Boys song. It’s not as alternative/new wavish as their sound. I probably won’t hear this song for the next 100 years and I’ll go to my grave not knowing the name.

Sorry about that, chief!

In reply to Oh so that’s what “Ldyosng” means!

I’ve had the license plate for a lot longer than I’ve been using a computer.

As to the Earwig – don’t you just HATE when that happens? It took me a couple of years to track down “that cool song with the good beat and the Gregorian chant in it”. Finally found out it was Enigma and bought the recording. But not before just about tearing my hair out trying to find it again.

Then there was Albanoni’s adagio in G minor. I finally have a couple of copies of that one.

Now if I could just find the particular Regina coeli I’ve been singing part of from memory for the past 30 years . . .

30 years?

In reply to Sorry about that, chief!

Cr@p! My earwig will have burrowed into my brain by then. As soon as I read “that cool song with the good beat and the Gregorian chant in it”, I knew you were talking about the Enigma song. I knew it right away and you waited two years for it. :^O Cool song, by the way.

Smoke gets in your eyes

This oldie has been flying around in my head for about 2 months now. It all came when I tried to pick out the tune on my flute, followed by 3-5 hours of sleep every night since then. AIIIIIIEEEEE!

I play other tunes to drive it out, but it seems to find its way back eventually. Haven’t heard it today so far.

Down in Oz

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

Down under, in Oz, we have an insect called an earwig. It is about 3/4 inch long, by 1/8 wide, dark brown in colour, with big nippers at its tail end. The males nippers are a lopside C in shape, whilst the female’s are more like an = sign with the ends curled in. They live under logs, rocks anything lying on the ground.

Earwig insects also in the USA

In reply to Down in Oz

In the USA we have the same insect (or one very similar to what you describe) called an earwig. Makes me wonder if someone introduced earwigs to Australia, maybe to feed the Cane Toads that were introduced previously? 🙂

I have heard that Oz is plagued with many introduced species, including rabbits, mice, and cane toads. In Florida, where I was born, we also have cane toads that were introduced there, and, ironically, an Australian species of tree that grows like a weed in the Everglades, known as the Melaleuca.

Introduced Species

In reply to Earwig insects also in the USA

I thought the most invasive species introduced to Florida were the Northeastern Retiree and the Pale-Bellied Snowbird.

Figured You Out…always runs through my brain

I found a cure!!!

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

I’ve had this horrible headache since Saturday. I went to the doctor today and he said I have a sinus infection. He gave me a decongestant, antibiotic, anti-vertigo medicine, nasal steroids and vicodin for the headache. I’m not too troubled by earwigs right now. Right now, my biggest problem is drooling.

your vertigo

In reply to I found a cure!!!

ask the doc if you have BPPV (Benign Paroxysimal Positional Vertigo).

If so, ask about Eppley exercises…no meds necessary and they cured mine in about 6 weeks…they help to correct the position of the autoliths in the inner ear and stop the vertigo.

Sounds good in theory..

In reply to your vertigo

My Dr here is a putz. I’ve tried to talk to him about a number of things and all I get is a condescending head nod. I didn’t even go to him yesterday, I went to an Urgent Care, where they hustle you in and out like cattle. This is something else I don’t like about small town living.

if you need

In reply to Sounds good in theory..

I’ll tell you how to do them…to see if it helps…

I know how you feel…lots of docs here are just here for the money because of all the old people around that they can herd in and out like cattle.

Very few actually care…and usually if they do, they don’t take HMO patients cause the insurance companies try to tell HMO docs how long to spend with a patient.

Hope you get better.

That would be great

In reply to if you need

The vertigo is almost as bad as the headache, and it’s been going on for over 2 weeks now. I had this once before, years ago, and it lasted for months.

Contact me through peer mail so that we don’t bore anyone else with my trivial problems. 🙂

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

The dictionary states:

ear?wig (?r?wig?) noun

Any of various elongate insects of the order Dermaptera,
having a pair of pincerlike appendages protruding from the
rear of the abdomen.

verb, transitive
ear?wigged, ear?wig?ging, ear?wigs
To attempt to influence by persistent confidential argument or talk.

[Middle English erwig, from Old English earwicga : eare,
ear. See ear1 + wicga, insect.]

Word History: In an Anglo-Norman text written around the
beginning of the 15th century we are told that elephants
guard their ears diligently against flies and earwigs.
Elephants have good cause to protect themselves against
these insects if, as folklore has it, earwigs go through the
ear into the head. The earwig, however, prefers to dine on
things such as flowers, fruit, and small insects rather than
brain tissue. Folklore is responsible, though, for the
insect’s name, which was formed in Old English from eare,
the Old English source of our word ear, and wicga,?insect,?
a word presumably related to our word wiggle.

I think the work you want is “earworm”.

Nope…

The word I’m going to stick with, is earwig.

Honey is that YOU??????

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

Probably 3 of You know this lyric, it’s from Chuck Berry’s (NOT Barris, that’s a whole other mess)Song Nadine. First started in the shower one morning. Now this is a fairly obscure Chuck Berry song from the mid 50’s. Got dressed, got in the car, turned on the radio – “Nadine… Honey is that You ??? Ya goin’ back doin’ the things You used to do!” – Down right %$#@ erie! Creeps in all the time now, ’tis OK tho, ’cause it’s a good song. I find the only way to get rid of these things is to play them, which only works if You HAVE the song…

g

That’s Maybellene

In reply to Honey is that YOU??????

Not Nadine.
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
You’ve started back doin’ the things you used to do.
Not obscure. It was a major hit, spending 11 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1955 and is still considered a Chuck Berry classic.
His tune My Ding-a-Ling was his most popular, but Maybellene was his 3rd most popular.

Nadine, Honey is that You

In reply to That’s Maybellene

You may be/probably are right about the secound lyric, I’m sure it must have been in Maybellene. It’s not like Chuck didn’t boilerplate alot of his work, so that line may well have been in Nadine also. I remember when Mabaline came out, thanks to my babysitter, who introduced me to a lot of excellent 50’s tunes, during the 50’s. My Ding-a-ling came out some time after he had basically faded from the top 40 and a whole new generation discovered his older stuff.

A Different Kind of Earwig…

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

Mine is different, but it definitely music to my ears. Pardon me for this. This is Rated PG. My earwig is the sound of sex moans… thoses ohh’s and ahh’s and yesss! These sounds always disctract me completely.

Check Berrys’ Ding-a-Ling

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

My Ding A Ling

When I was a little bitty boy
my grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hangin’ on a string
she told me it was my ding a ling

My ding a ling, my ding a ling
I want to play with my ding a ling
My ding a ling, my ding a ling
I want to play with my ding a ling

And then mother took me to Grammer School
But I stopped all in the vestibule
Every time that bell would ring
catched me playin’ with my ding a ling

Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard I heard bells ring
but held on to my ding a ling

Once I was swimming cross Turtle creek
many snappers all around my feet
Shure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holdin’ my ding a ling

This here song it ain’t so sad
the cutest little song you ever had
those of you who will not sing
You must be playin’ with your own ding a ling
My ding a ling Your ding a ling, your ding a ling
We saw you playin’ with your ding a ling
My ding a ling everybody sing
I want to play with my ding a ling

In my case….

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

I need to get off the music I listen to night and day, to actually be able to find out whether or not I have a particular tune stuck inside my head…

This may sound silly but for some reason I have completely forgotten who the artist is for the song, “Lady in Red” :p

And the answer is…..

In reply to In my case….

Chris De Burgh!

There you go, geek, earwig sorted! (well, he is sorta from around my area…..!)

Now, if I could just get the Ying Tong song out of my head, I’d be fine….I have abso-flamin’-lutely no idea where it came from or when it landed, but it’s beginning to start me walking backwards for Xmas…..! 😀

GG

Sorry, this inadvertently turned into a totally UK-type of post…..ooops! :p

That saves me from …

In reply to And the answer is…..

Another month’s pondering …. 😀 Thanx a million…

It is funny, isnt it, how we get influenced by where we live .. 🙂 ??

I havent been in the UK for more than 5 months..but people tell me I have an english accent :O !!!!!

aha! that’s psychological!

In reply to That saves me from …

you’re making an effort to fit in by not standing out! (Some of us find this more easier than others – it depends on your “ear”) You’ll find after a certain amount of time you’ll feel more “accepted” and your own accent will return.

It depends on what you call an English accent, though! We have more accents here than people have hot dinners……I speak from experience, being a Geordie – I have to speak “English” in other parts of the UK not to fit in, just to make myself understood!!

Where are you from?/Based now?

My recent Earwig

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

I would have to say for some reason or the other I’m finding Seal’s song for one of the Batman Installment(can’t remember which one) is my latest affliction I cannot get that song out my system.

Got bit by an parady

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

it is a spoof on the Shania Twain song, “Any man of mine”. A very less than flattering spoof called “Any gal of mine”.

“I need a gal that knoooooowwwwssss, how the lawn gets mowwwwwweeeeddddd!”

First, I loath coutry music so that didn’t help matters!

Second, I had the parents over helping me work in changing out my bath tub so I couldn’t crank out some new tunes to squash the little bug! AAAAAAA!

It took about 15 minutes to get that one out.

So..

I hope you take every available opportunity to remind him of it, too!

You do realise, though, that this means I’m going to have to go back to the top of your divorce thread to glean the evidence (to be presented later, in a very cold, revengeful state) don’t you??

The funny thing about that song, a few years ago I took a bud to a peeler joint for his birtday (he had NEVER been to one). Anyways, a tiny little babe did her dance to this and that is ALL I think about when I hear that song! (Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom…..)

It reminds me, there is a tiny little comidian (can’t remember her name!) that has a high cartoonish voice. Her line was “My boyfrend asked me to talk dirty to him during sex. Now he can’t watch the muppet babies without getting aroused!”

Ergo, the onus is on the reader to ascertain his/her level of tolerance or intolerance to a particular posted earwig from the compounded colony above.

And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind

And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said

I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds
Ha! Well you just wait
They’ll find you yet and when they do
They’ll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt

And they’re coming to take me away ha haaa
They’re coming to take me away ha haaa ho ho hee hee

Thing one and two LOVE that song! I even had to put it on a floppy so they could share it with their teachers at school, they loved it so much.

It doesn’t classify as an earwig to me, because I enjoy it and will sing it at work or where ever!

B-)

The one that I want to Sing Sing Sing

In reply to fair exchange?

is a song from “Sound of Music”…”How do you find a word that means Mariaaaaaa” …. Love that song …

Culture exchange then…..

Hmmmm

In reply to Culture exchange then…..

well, I understand how that could make you shove pencils in your ears…… :O

Really not my cup of tea, and thankfully, not very memorable (imho). No hook, and nothing real witty about the lyrics, even if she does have a good voice. (for what she does)

there coming to take me away ha ha…

Well if you need a song butchered Katie is your girl.

In reply to Culture exchange then…..

I’d say her voice wasn’t too bad if it wasn’t so banal and boring and what she does to an old standard like Stardust is criminal. Never heard her before hope I never hear her again. Her voice displays the full emotional gamut from A to B. Katie sounds like she’s having her tonsils removed on the fly. You want an earwig??? Dylan: “Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed” 😉 ;\

Just not old enough

In reply to Well if you need a song butchered Katie is your girl.

for me to “get” the whole Dylan thing.

Maybe he talked to a generation, but for those of us NOT a part of that generation, the word “overrated” comes to mind.

Many of the “classic artists” from the 60’s and 70’s would NEVER get air play NOW if wasn’t for WHO they are as the music really isn’t very good often.

Wait 12 Years….

In reply to Just not old enough

I am old enough to get the Dylan thing. Believe me, in 1964 the last thing Dylan would have been called was “overrated” He was usualy reffered to as “Who?”. I never got the Sinatra thing! In 10 or 12 years Your kids, nephews, nieces, whatever will be calling Your favorite artists overrated. And in another 10 or 12 years … etc. etc. etc. Just listen to what You like and enjoy! Try something a little different now and then, broadens the soul!

The day I knew my husband was old..

In reply to Just not old enough

He listens to ALL kinds of music, a lot of older stuff, new stuff on independent labels, etc. He’s extremely knowledgable when it comes to music (unless it’s contemporary country). Anyway, the day he looked at me and said, “I just don’t get the whole Marilyn Manson thing.” I knew he was old.

Geez and Mae

In reply to Just not old enough

I personally listen to a very wide range of music. Just about anything, barring of course country and rap.

I grew up on Uriah heap, Hendrix, Beatles blah blah blah just a blasting. (Dad was a rocker!)

I added in the newer generations of music as I went along and would rather listen to music than watch TV.

I am now in the process of handing off the torch to my 13 year old twin boys. They get into and recognise from the beatles on.

There is suppose to be a Dylan documentary coming up. Maybe if I watch that I will “get it”, and maybe I won’t.
[b]
Is it about the music or the message behind the music?[/b]

For an example of what I was talking about, do you really think ANYTHING the Rolling Stones have turned out in the last decade was deserving of airplay based on the song on its own? How about AeroSmith? AC/DC? They all get a free pass on quality because of the nostalgia factor.

Oh, and Manson ROCKS live!

ZEP !

In reply to Just not old enough

The Mighty Led Zeppelin still ROCKS!!!
And Jethro Tull
And Queen
And The Rolling Stones
And The Moody Blues

Guess what??? A lot of people didn’t get Dylan.

In reply to Just not old enough

Dylan and Leonard Cohen appealed to chicks rather than guys who were into Hendrix, Clapton, Megadeath, AC/DC and who didn’t like the Eagles or Gerry Garcia and the GD. You hear people going on and on about the original Woodstock but in hind sight the best of that weekend was Hendrix and the rest pretty much ordinary;(including Joplin) if you didn’t mind being up to your a$$ in mud. Tastes change but I never could get into Dylan and still think he was over rated. There was a 2 hr special about him on PBS about a month back and after a 1/2 hour I clicked the remote. Sorry Bob you sucked then, you still suck and you’re going to suck next year too!!!

JD

In reply to Just not old enough

I agree, The Rolling Stones haven’t put anything good out in a looong time.

You’re lucky. I grew up with the Clancy Brothers and elevator music.

And that dawg

In reply to Just not old enough

is exactly what I have been feeling about him all along.

Heck, break out the Kingston trio and their controversial “I don’t give a d@#m about a green back dollar”!

Can you belive they would use such abusive language?

(wonder if anyone here is old enough for that one to grab a hold of their ear?)

Greenback Dollar

In reply to Just not old enough

Gee. Thanks JD. Now that little pleaser is traipsing through my head. Oh well, it could be worse, it could be
Tom Dooley
Or Mariah
Or McArthur Park (a seriously whiny epic dirge)
Or Wildfire (ARGH – I LOATH that “song”)

Rain fallin’ on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues gettin’ through,
Tangled up in blue.

Try getting that ONE out of your noggin….

Mama take this badge off of me

In reply to Dylan Brain Stickers

uff I need to get tangle up in blue out of my head because it inevetably for some reason or another always leads to the John Denever [mega bad] (please feel free to insert your own explicits here) Thank God I’m a Country boy, getting stuck in my head

Get it off me! Get it off me!!

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

I’ve just had an unexpected call from a mate of exceedingly long standing, who still insists on calling me by a 20+ year old nickname…..

so now I’m stuck with David Souls’ Delta Lady running round in my head! I overdosed on this one YEARS ago!

GET IT OFF ME!!! GET IT OFF ME!!!

(help, please, help :_| )

There’s always Neilson

In reply to Get it off me! Get it off me!!

Do you remember his charming lyric:

You’re breakin’ my heart
You’re tearin’ it apart
So f~ you!

That’s always a cheery number to play through your head when something else needs to be banished!

What did you wanna go an’ do that for? :_|

You know what I’m gonna do? Huh? Ya know? Hmm?

I’m….I’m….I’m gonna….gonna….aaargh…

I’M GONNA SET THE [b]DAWG[/b] ON YOU!!

You’re putting me on. Hey JD is an Elvis fan.

In reply to Thought of the day (don’t read us_gee)

Bet you’ve been to visit Graceland as well. Elvis??? Ewww!!!
BTW Manson is nothing but warmed over Alice Cooper.

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

That explains it then

In reply to You’re putting me on. Hey JD is an Elvis fan.

because I LOVE warmed over Cooper!

Had you been faithfully following my blogs you would have seen that I just recently handed down the Cooper love by getting the “Welcome to my Nightmare” CD and they flippen love it.

It is a natural that anyone that would copy someone I like, I would like! I just stear the boys away from his wacked out stuff…..

By the way, Coopers new CD, dirty diamonds. sucks. Three songs are acceptable and the rest are horrible.

Alice Cooper…

In reply to You’re putting me on. Hey JD is an Elvis fan.

I don’t think Alice Cooper EVER took himself as seriously as Marilyn Manson does.

And what’s wrong with Elvis? Elvis rocked.

Real rock fans got off on Buddy Holly.

In reply to Thought of the day (don’t read us_gee)

Both the Beatles and the Stones claim they were influenced by Buddy Holly but nobody but impersonators claim they were influenced by Elvis. Bet you liked Sonny & Cher as well. Sad, very sad. You’ve probably never heard of Bo Diddley either.

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

well

In reply to Real rock fans got off on Buddy Holly.

that’el be the day, that you say goodbyee
that’el be the day, that you make me cryyiiiiiii

Now You’ve Done It

In reply to Real rock fans got off on Buddy Holly.

I’ve been pretty good up till now, but you mentioning Sonny & Cher put “I’ve Got You Babe” in my head.

I hope you’re satisified.

jdg

You’re just looking

In reply to Now You’ve Done It

for an excuse to put on that ridiculous spotted hide vest and those silly fringed pants again.

At least it’s not the Nehru jacket and beads again.

Hey!!

In reply to You’re just looking

I’ve never owned a spotted hide vest (do you have one hidden in the closet???), and you can’t prove that pale blue Nehru jacket is mine. Ok, I’ll fess up to the beads and peace band.

(Whew, she didn’t mention my fringed boots)

Nor your pimp boots

In reply to Hey!!

Heels, pointy toes, black shiny critter skin (did you say they were lizard?) The only thing that might be gaudier would be those Stacy Adams things you were eyeing the other day.

And what about the burgundy polyester tux (machine washable, no doubt) with the ruffled shirt and the matching burgundy patent shoes? Go ahead and deny THAT ugly crud!

We won’t even start on your old brown Honda.

Was too young to know better

In reply to Hey!!

when I got the fringed mockosins!

At least no one ever got a picture of me in them, and they are safe in the back of my closet!

It could be worse..

In reply to Now You’ve Done It

We have a bit of snow this morning and one of my employees has been walking around whistling ‘Winter Wonderland’. Would it be justifiable homicide if I stabbed him?

Yes, Mae

In reply to It could be worse..

Totally justifiable in my mind.

Does this also mean that I can go for the jugular with the guy who’s just put up his home made sign for “Real Christmas Trees” on the side of road on my way into work……

[i][b]please????[/i][/b]

X-(

GG

Yes..

In reply to Yes, Mae

You should. And when we’re both in prison, we can write to each other. 🙂

ZZ Top!

In reply to Thought of the day (don’t read us_gee)

Their rendition of this tune at the county fair (along with everything else they did!) was great.

ZZ kicks butt!

So the other day my sweetie points at a guitar in the music store and says “Elvis played one of those.” Just to get his (old) goat, I asked him if he meant Elvis Costello, or there was some other Elvis before him?”
It worked! He got just a tiny bit steamed around the collar.
Hehehehe. Sometimes it’s just so much fun to be evil!!

there we go again

In reply to Thought of the day (don’t read us_gee)

i will never learn, will I??? clicked on it yet again 😀

Oh my, my, my, my, my

But the one that is stuck in my head is an old classic….

The Hills are aliiivee,

Aha! I know what you were watching this morning!

ummm ummmmm ummmmmm

Damn…cant remember the words … the tune is reverberating inside my head but the words just wont leave my tongue …

Now I am the one running up the wall, across the ceiling and down the other side 😐

It starts….

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

So long, Fare well, Auf Wiedersehn, Goodbye….

– if that’s any help!!

😀

GG

that helps loads !!!

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

I am now going to install this song in everybody’s head in the office 😀

(humming to annoy…So Long, Fairwell)

BAD GG

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

You know better than to help someone remember the words to an earwig! That is the first step to killing it!

You have to let them stew in it for a while….. With that thought just out of grasp!

THAT is when a true earwig bites and bites hard.

no, no,no.

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

I helped to spread this earwig.

Us_g is now humming away in her office, infecting all her colleagues….

See? Method in my madness…

(Now, retrieve Madonna from my brain, I really do NOT like that particular ditty, it’s a waste of notes!)

GG

And What do you know…

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

Everyone in my office has caught on the song….

They are beginning to complain now…because they are stuck with it … 😀

(smiles knowingly and nods)

Us_gee

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

You didn’t rat us out did you? There would be an up-rising if people found out there is a deliberate plot to infest them with earwigs!

like a virgin, touched for the very first timmeeeeeeee

Me?? Rat Out?? how could you??

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

😀 ….. This is a deliberate plan yes…but no one knows…TOP SECRET :p

tommorow, the people in my office will be singing..If yu are happy and you know it, clap your hands 😀

The secret

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

to getting a group of people is to quietly hum it for a while. They will have to deliberately listen harder to hear what you are humming and thus more prone to be infected!

Later on after the evil seed has been planted, THEN you can be more blantant about it as it is already in their heads and just needs a little nudge to push them over the edge.

like a virgin, touched for the very first timmeeeeeeee!

Masters of Earwigs !!!

In reply to My personal Favorite is …

I now successfully have my office singing “When you are happy and you know it, clap your hands” .. 😀

Thay are disgusted that they are singing a kiddie song … but ubtill I hum another “Catchy” tune…they are stuck with this one … 😀

I think I am going to watch them suffer for a few more hours 😉

(hums .. when you are happy and you know it …)

Your on your own for a few daze

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!

Leaving tonight to head out into the woods.

It is deer season and jd is going to be armed and dangerous!

Depending on the weather, it may end up more “DEAR” hunting in the bars, but what the hey?

so I am off the rest of the week. So cool, two three day work weeks in a row because next week we get to celebrate the starvation and slaughter of the injuns by our four fathers, or at least according to jaqui… (why do we have four fathers? I didn’t know they did that group thing back then? Oh well, what five concenting adults do in the privacy of their cabin in no business of mine!)

HAve a grand weekend all! Be back Sunday night, in time for the boys to come home. Don’t know if I will be able to find internet access where I am going, but will look!

There you go. JD is going out to shoot Bambi.

In reply to Your on your own for a few daze

Venison barbeque and free beer at jd’s place in Lansing MI Sunday nite. Let us know how you make out, O Great White Hunter.

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

Thanks for the invite

In reply to There you go. JD is going out to shoot Bambi.

Unfortunately I’ll be in the middle of moving a 100 lawyer plus support staff office to their new digs about that time. But hey, if you have nothing better to do you can come to LA and watch us bring the network and all the servers back on line and attempt to get everything working so they can get back to billing their clients bright and early Monday morning.

When it comes to this move, It’s Been A Long Time Coming.

jdg

Too bad jd’s not…

In reply to Thanks for the invite

…going to LA to hunt lawyers 🙂

Good luck thinning the herd

In reply to Your on your own for a few daze

Hope you get an inch or 2 of snow to help out.

BTW, why the hell did GG start this thread when I was away? By the time I get back, it’s old and worn out and I’m way behind and it’s too late to catch up. I can get that kind of treatment at home!

Hey!

In reply to Good luck thinning the herd

This thread isn’t old and worn out!

Some of us are still getting regular earwigs!

Mine, today, is one I don’t really mind, but after about four hours of it, it’s starting to get to me…..

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn’t be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin’ in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That’s why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
‘Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You’re working too hard

And don’t spend your time lookin’ around
For something you want that can’t be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin’ about it
I’ll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

(Reprise)
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature’s recipes
With just the bare necessities of life

Ah, the great white buffalo hunter has returned! A long weekend of dear hunting, and during the day I even got in a little bit of deer hunting!

Had a grand time, and I hope everyone enjoys their earwig of the daze! }:)

So did you shoot Bambi??? If so, when’s the barbeque.

In reply to Back from the great out doors

One of my buddies took down a moose and of course he couldn’t resist telling his kids that he had managed to shoot Bullwinkle. The reaction was pretty much to be expected.

Shhhh, be vewwy qwwiet

In reply to So did you shoot Bambi??? If so, when’s the barbeque.

jd is taking a nap in the woods after closing the bars down! 😀

Saw some sign, a few bucks in the area, but they got scared away pretty quickly when everyone else started coming out trampliling around the woods. (sigh). At least it was a great few days of sunrises and sunsets!

Looking at going wild boar hunting his coming week! That would be a hoot!

I remember a few years back as I nightly call home to talk to my boys, Thing One asked if I shot a deer and I replied no. He got VERY excited and said “It is still alive?” thinking dad was bringing a live deer home! It really is the little things that make everything worth it.

Wild Boar Hunting !!!

I was beat incomplete
I’d been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
‘Cause only love can last

You’re so fine and you’re mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You’re so fine and you’re mine
I’ll be yours ’till the end of time
‘Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I’ve nothing to hide

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can’t you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?

My earwig is usually whatever I wake up to on my clock radio. I listen to 93.1 JACK FM, so it could be anything. Sometimes it changes as I go through the day and listen to my van radio, but not always. skyfrog
