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

I'm too sexy for my shirt
too sexy for my shirt
too sexy it hurts.
Ad nauseum
sorry i think I've got a million of these, brain numbing tunes

I always heard the first two lines of the Comet song as:

Comet! It makes your teeth turn green!
Comet! It tastes like gasoline!...

Oh my, would you believe when I was a young teen and the Henery the 8th song was popular, I actually thought it was a cool song? What's wrong with me?!!

Fortunately it's not as long as the annoying song we used to sing on summer car trips to drive our parents nuts -- "Found a Peanut"
Found a peanut, found a peanut,
found a peanut just now
Just now I found a peanut, found a peanut just now.

Cracked it open, cracked it open,
cracked it open just now
Just now I cracked it open, cracked it open just now.

It was rotten (sung in similar fashion)

Ate it anyway…

Got sick…

Went to the doctor…

Gave the peanut to the doctor…

etc., etc. until the original person has died, gone to heaven, etc. The doctor and nurses also eat the peanut (presumably more than one peanut from the same defective batch, etc.) All die, go to heaven, have to explain to St. Peter why they are there, which, in turn begins the cycle again.....

It's a wonder our parents let us live!

Further to the Ren and Stimpy one...

"LOG...

Rolls down the stairs
dum dum dum dum dum
Runs over your neighbours dog

It fits on your back
dum dum dum dum dum
It's Log Log Log!

It's LOOOO-og
It's LOOOO-og
It's big it's heavy it's wood
It's LOOOO-og
It's LOOOO-og

It's better than bad!
It's good!

Everyone wants a log!
Come on and get a log!



LOG FROM BLAMMO!"

Im surprised no ones mentioned the chicken song!

Oh wow, somebody else remembers the Comet song!

unfortunatly i remember it too...

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out a love between
my brothers and my sisters
all over this land

If I had a bell...

*goes off to find the lyrics to the LOG song*

for extended busrides, my favorites are...

Father Abraham had many sons. Many sons had father Abraham. I am one of them, and so are you, so let's just praise the Lord...right arm, left arm...

and...

Caracas, Venezuela
Bogota, Colombia
Quito, Ecuador
La Paz, Bolivia
Asuncion, Paraguay
Santiago, Chile
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Montevideo, Uruguay
Brasilia, Brasil

ya sing each five times before moving on to the next and repeating the ones before it.

there's also the Spanish alphabet song, but I'll spare you.

Ive noticed that really annoying songs are only annoying if you are not the one singing them. ie, if you constantly sing something all day you wqill annoy everyone around you but you will have a ball.
also, im not sure if these are the same as the ones in the earlier post, but here are some lyrics as i learnt them.

i know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves.
i know a song thet gets on everybodys nerves, and this is how it goes...

Just read the last one before my other one, my youth group has some alternate lyrics:

Father Abraham, had many lungs, many lungs had father abraham, i have one of them, and do do you, so lets just praise the lord.
left lung, right lung, top lung, bottom lung,

there were many variations on specifically which lungs were being refferred to and they were all included somewhere such as the east lung, green lung, lower right lung, etc...

try the "Happy, Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy, Joy" song from Ren & Stimpy.
That sticks in ya brain. Or The Anthem Of The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen (also from Ren & Stimpy), or The Log Song (also from Ren & STimpy). I only tend to sing The Log Song when I'm drunk, and the kilted yaksmen song when I'm very drunk. I can only normally remember all the words when I'm drunk.
Ditto, the theme song from the 80's children's show "Let's Pretend"

(sung to the tune of God Save The Queen/Our Country Tis Of Thee)

Our Country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beef carcasses
And we have to clean up after them
And our saddle sores are the best
We proudly wear woman's clothing
And searing sand blows up our skirts
And the buzzards, they soar overhead
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole
Our bones will bleach in the sun
And we will probably go to *thbppth* (they blank out the word Hell)
And that is our great reward
For being the-uh Ro-yal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen

"The Log Song", from Ren & Stimpy

What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbour's dog?
What's great for a snack and fits on your back?
It's Log, Log, Log!

It's Log, Log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's Log, Log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Everyone wants a log! You're gonna love it, Log!
Come on and get your log! Everyone needs a Log!
(Log, By Blammo!)

"Happy Happy Joy Joy" from Ren & Stimpy

Hello, boys and girls. This is your old pal, Stinky Whizzleteats.
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!

[chorus]
Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Joy!

I don't think you're happy enough! That's right! I'll teach you to be happy! I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs! Now, boys and girls, let's try it again!

[chorus]

If'n you aint the grandaddy of all liars! The little critters of nature. They don't know that they're ugly! That's very funny, a fly marrying a bumblebee! I told you I'd shoot! But you didn't believe me! Why didn't you believe me?!

[chorus without last line]
Happy Happy Happy Happy
Happy Happy Happy Happy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Joy!

no, we all live in a yellow submarine would translate roughly to

"wier wohnst aus eines gelbe unterseeboot"

and excuse my rubbish german i haven't used it since i was 15. so thats 20 yrs.

I'm sad (and a little ashamed) to admit the last tune stuck in my head for two full horifying days was *Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy*

Thanks to working on the school musical, I've had various songs from the musical Gypsy stuck in my head for the past few weeks. They're good songs, but it's still quite annoying...
Currently it's the newsboy's song...
