What’s your Earwig?!
Lockedby gadgetgirl · about 16 years, 9 months ago
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.Neil ]:)

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….! 😀

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.

Cure for “Musical Cooties”
by charliespencer · about 16 years, 9 months ago
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.

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

Negative.
by charliespencer · about 16 years, 9 months ago
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.

Not too bad this morning..
by maecuff · about 16 years, 9 months ago
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..:)

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!

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)Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

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!

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

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.

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 . . .

In reply to Monty Python (slightly uh…racey song from the Meaning of Life)
uhhhh I have a warm fealing running down me cocles,,,, when I hear that one.
It explains a lot about the movie that almost the entierty of the production budget was spent on that number.
But the earwig I most hate is of course Barbie Girl.
btw. What hapened to the website that had Ken and Barbie picture as the position of the month??

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
by ozi eagle · about 16 years, 9 months ago
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
by montgomery gator · about 16 years, 9 months ago
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.

I’ve had this horrible headache since Saturday. I went to the doctor today and he said I have a sinus infection.

your vertigo
by jck · about 16 years, 9 months ago
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.

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.

Reply To: What’s your Earwig?!

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”.

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…

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
by geezah · about 16 years, 9 months ago
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.

but held on to my ding a lingOnce I was swimming cross Turtle creek

with both hands holdin’ my ding a lingThis here song it ain’t so sad

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!!

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!”

I deliberately entitled this discussion “What’s your earwig?” and although I [i]may[/i] have insinuated you get rid of them here, I never, at any time stated any words that could be construed as contractual as to the non-acceptance of other perhaps lowly, abused or disused or even redundant earwigs. 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. The post originator is not legally, quantifiably, or aurally liable for any new, improved earwigs, or for their proliferation into pupa or mutation into anything else.

And I got on my knees

Because I’d go beserkWell you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mindAnd they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
They’re coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they’re coming to take me away ha haaaYou thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lidRight? You know you laughed
I heard you laugh. You laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I’m utterly madAnd they’re coming to take me away ha haaa
They’re coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away ha haaaI cooked your food
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 muttAnd they’re coming to take me away ha haaa
They’re coming to take me away ha haaa ho ho hee hee

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” 😉 ;\

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.

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

It worked! He got just a tiny bit steamed around the collar.

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.

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!)

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 lifeWherever 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 fewThe 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 lifeNow 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 hardAnd 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 trueThe 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_______________________________

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.

Earwigs

In reply to What’s your Earwig?!
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
