What's your Earwig?!

and should suit NeilB down to the ground! Wonderful, Mae, you've excelled yourself....

"now I got twenty acres, and you got forty three, and I gotta brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the key....."

Us UK-ites will stick to our version, though, by The Worzels....it's 10 times worse.....believe me...

GG

Dad drat the dad dratted Maximum message Level .... A Gal cant talk here :D

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!"

That we were supposed to be eliminating earwigs..not thinking up new ones :p

Aah..what the hell....I am having one hell of a Monday :D

look what we did to poor Mambo! :O

Hello, boys and girls. This is your old pal, Stinky Wizzleteats. This is a song about a whale. No! This is a song about being happy! That's right! It's the Happy Happy Joy Joy song!

(told you not to read it! ]:) )

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.

ooops

Sorry, all, slipped back into work mode there....

because I don't have a CLUE what you're going on about!

Wahey

UK Rules OK!!

(C'mon NeilB, Rule Britannia, if you please!)

:p

GG

when you get a few people taking a "break" all at the same time?

I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

I love you
You love me
We're best friends
Like friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

[b]IT IS ON!

and yes, I love you too, but is that a song from somewhere???

GG

he was going to get a tan to cover his blushes....I think he's back in a day or two....

If he is, and tries to catch up, let me know....that'll be the red glow in the sky over the entire US!!

:x

GG

Now I am hooked to this one ... nice work jd

The one I find easiest to get hooked on to, is the one we used to sing in kindergarten..

If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you are happy and you know it, and you really wanna show it, clap your hands

an Earwig for switching Earwigs (if that makes sense) :D

- there's one here coming out with kiddy-songs!

Who's nearest to get 'em?

to get rid of them. All one can do, is spread the joy and infect as many people as possible. It doesn't really help, except the sadistic pleasure you get from knowing you're driving another human insane..

Someone left the cake out in the rain..I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again..

Now, THAT'S good songwriting..

when he first started up.

Was right at the stage of the divorce discussion where the topic of "assisted masterbation" came up and other topics along that line. He made the mistake of asking for clerification on a few of them..... :^O

It helps you to not take good smut for granted when he is around! :D

that makes absolutely no sense at all, but I like your sense of humour! :D

Welcome aboard the board!

So, what's this patent earwig switcher, then?

GG

Cant really help it.....I get stuck to this one... :D

Okee, lemme find a more grown up song to get stuck to :p

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??

:x

GG

You must not have "Barney, the dinasour" on your side of the pond?

it is a guy in a big purple dinasour suit that goes around annoying everyone that comes within ear-shot.

I keep jumping from one earwiggy song to another, in a time span of about 30 seconds.....

I have an earwig about earwigs :p

Yes, we've got him.....

- but I don't watch him at MY AGE!!!

I watch Other Things instead!

hahaha!

GG

(jd, just give me 5 minutes for a breather, I've done nothing but giggle since you got on the board today, and I desperately need to breath without choking just for 5 minutes!)

[i]"and I desperately need to breath without choking just for 5 minutes"[/i]

Ok, you can get on top for a while, but then right back at it when the five minutes are up! ]:)

My favorite sound in the world, the sweet sound of choking with a slight gag reflex added in? :x

Nice and subtle for you my dear......

Come on...do we really need a reply body ??...I just wanted to say LOL :D !!!

by wilrogjr Nov 14, 2005

Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring ...

FIRE!

oh, ok, then 5 minutes on top....

- and I don't choke.

- and I don't gag.

by m_a_r_k Nov 14, 2005

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.

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!

by m_a_r_k Nov 16, 2005

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.

by ldyosng Nov 16, 2005

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 . . .

My dead dog Rover
I hit with the power mower
One leg is missing
The other is gone
The third leg is splattered
All over the lawn...

And now for something completely different:
When the moon goes down on Medina lake . . .
Or
It's hard to say I love you . . .

http://it.stlawu.edu/~x0tsing/takeaway.ra

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk

Well you left me anyhow
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
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 haaa

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid

Right? 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 mad

And 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 haaa

I 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 mutt

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

earwig about handing out new earwigs jd??

(chuckles) I am certainly not opening one of your posts which have a warning in the subject line next time ... After all, once burnt, twice charry ;)

he takes absolutely no encouragement whatsoever!

You have been warned! hahahahahaha!

:D

is that people were put on this earth solely so I could give them a hard time! :^O Some more than others, some longer than others!

plenty of sunshine, heading my way
zippidy do da

(please tell me gg, that you didn't miss that one?) :x

Hey, I've always wondered about the words to that one! It's years since I've heard it!

Nope, not strictly speaking truthful that; I hear it quite regularly....someone around me keeps singing it.

Eeek.

S'me. :_|

Gulp

Time for the farm. ;\

"There are nine million bicycles in Beijing. That's a fact....."

(fair exchange is no robbery, jd!)

GG

nine million bicycles? wtf is that?

Again, it seems I have been SAVED by the language barriers and culture differences!

there coming to take me away HA HA!

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-)

I am finding that out !!!

By the way, is it considered as an earwig if I want a tune to get stuck in my head?? My mind just keeps skipping through tunes at a mile a minute :p

that's indicative of wanting to host a colony....

Ok, that's it, guys, take her back for recertification and medication, she's had enough here....she's actually looking for earwigs....

grief, there's one every day.....!

:D

GG

(j/k, honest! But I think you've got my sense of humour sorted by now!)

I need to get in a good night's sleep....Hopefully I will stop looking for earwigs in the morning and wake up with one buzzing around my head...

You know, Like NORMAL people....:p

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

http://www.katiemelua.com/single5.htm

top one of the tracklist, sound sample only 36 seconds long.....

(on the basis of if I have to have it, so do you!!)

:x

GG

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...

by sleepin'dawg Nov 15, 2005

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" ;) ;\

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

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.

by bfilmfan Nov 15, 2005

And I was standin' on the side of the road
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....

Oh no no no no no....Now I am stuck clicking my heels going

zippidy do da
zippidy ay
my oh my, what a wonderful day
plenty of sunshine, heading my way
zippidy do da
zippidy ay!

I told myself ... no reading posts from jd ... but will I ever learn?? :p...:D

well, no, but only because my Dad told me about it......

and change the earwig plant.

Started to do "It's a small world", but figured I didn't want that getting mixed up with the rest of your personal message! (if you know what I mean! ;\ )

Thought I would try to sneak that one in.... :p

:x

want to re-word that last one, jd?

Gotcha back!

Hometime here - have a good rest of day!

"Slip" instead of "sneak"? Maybe "sneak and slip..."? :p

Saw in a novelty store camoflage condoms.
The caption said "Never let them see you coming". :O

(how is THAT for off-topic my sweet?)

by geezah Nov 15, 2005

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!

g

by maecuff Nov 15, 2005

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.

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!

by jdgretz Nov 15, 2005

Is a wonderful little two step. Unfortunately I'll bet that other than you and me, no one else here has ever heard the song. Shame, really. I do hope Fast Buck did well.

got time off for good behavior

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

by sleepin'dawg Nov 15, 2005

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!!!

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

by maecuff Nov 16, 2005

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.

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!!!

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!

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?)

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

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

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.

by maecuff Nov 17, 2005

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

And what's wrong with Elvis? Elvis rocked.

by sleepin'dawg Nov 16, 2005

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] ]:)

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

by jdgretz Nov 17, 2005

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

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!!

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!

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.

This thread isn't old and worn out!

Some of us are still getting regular earwigs!

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")

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.

by jdgretz Nov 17, 2005

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)
