h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So you're the second coming? Wondered when you'd show up. I'll just pop down to the synagogue and spread the word.

Well, you see, thats what I told them. And they fell for it. Silly people.

Other jingles/dittys/annoying things...

*thinks thinks*

We all live in a yellow submarine, a yeollow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine, a yeollow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine, a yeollow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine, a yeollow submarine

more annoying is the german version, which somebody taught me and i have to sing to the english when i hear this dreadful song.

something like;
die gelbes underwasserboot (excuse spelling any German people)

I got caught at school humming "Wouldn't it be luverly" (all I want is a room somewhere) from Oliver-the musical. ...it still sticks in my head sometimes (lots of choc-lit for me to eat).

We used to sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and the theme from Countdown on our way home from school. Also in graphics class...

Another one I got stuck in my head for something like 7 years, was that Paula Abdul song "Opposites Attract". I loved the video when it first came out - had to be in the early 90's. And I sang the chorus constantly in my head, until I heard it again about a year back...madness.

Staicase Mystery - Siouxsie and the banshees!

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
I'm going down the garden to eat worms
long, thin slimey ones
short, fat fuzzy ones
gooy gooy gooy gooy worms
Well you bite off their heads
and you suck out the juice
and you throw the skins away
nobody knows how I survive
on a hundred worms a day

For some reason when short of a lullabye I used to sing this to my babies

Awimaway awimaway

We used to sing "everybody walk the dinosaur" at one of our maths teachers - his name was mr ackers (boob boom acker acker boom boom)

And of course I was 13 when always look on the bright side of life from life of brian was in the charts so that was *always* being sung.

Oh god and I've just remembered the bus journeys singing "Eternal Flame" by the bangles in window shattering harmony.

Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
diddle diddle de dit dat dit dat dee.

birdie song

Ag-a-doo doo doo

Oh NO !
I feel like chicken tonite
chicken tonite.
I feel like chicken tonite
chicken tonite.


Stop.stop

Ah now this is an oldy but goldy

you'll wonder where the yellow went
when you brush your teeth with pepsodent

Or you'll wonder where yout teeth have gone
when you brush them with an atom bomb

Do you think jingles are dying out in favour of 'classic' pieces of music?

How about the Yes no song? It is ten minutes of alternating yeses and nos

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

One of my recent one's was Christina Aguilera's "Dirrrty" song.

Only it was one line.

"Sweatin' 'til my clothes come off"

Not good to be singing whilst walking around Woolworths...

Per #34 our version was:

You'll wonder where your teeth all went,
When you brush your teeth with wet cement!

Just a note to say that Wouldn't it be luvly is from 'My Fair Lady'..

Must...Resist....Tune - In - Head...!!!

Koyaanisqatsi

And even worse: from the cartoon Ren and Stimpy

Happy happy joy joy
Happy happy joy joy
Happy happy happy happy happy happy joy...

have a nice day

Here's a jingle my brothers sang to me as kids. (Comet was a cleansing powder)

Comet, it makes your stomach clean,
Comet, it makes your face turn green,
Comet, it makes you vomit,
So buy some Comet, and vomit, today.
