Thank you *soooo* much for sticking me with Herman's Hermits

*confused*

Herman's Hermits

Please accept my heartfelt apologies if I offended you in any way.

Wasn't "No Milk Today" one of theirs? It's been in my head since I saw your tagline...

Ah yes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf1X3aEaUj0

My tagline comes from a French song (by Thiefaine, maybe you know him?) which I have know from single-digit age probably. I just found out a couple of months ago while listening to a Kieler radio that it was a reference to some other popular song which may be, indeed, better known, and by the band you mention.

So, in principle, you should get the French song stuck in your head

Wasn't there a thread once (or is it an EGE?) about how to rid yourself of earworms? If my memory doesn't fail, once dangerous trick was to pick an even worse earworm and try to chase the waeker with the stronger. The danger is, of course, that you may end up with a worse one in your head

I would say that I don't know the French one, but if I do that, you might find it for me and I'll be stuck with it, too. So I won't. This version is bad enough to have in your head!

There it is:

Oh, it's not a translation. I rather like that singer (does this mean a Guide Entry may be coming up? Umm...)

Ah, so it was second-degree earworming, a reference to a reference

Thanks for the link...I think. Dare I click?

Please be my guest; I don't really think it would qualify as an (closest to an smiley )

It will give you an idea of who the guy is though.

Ok, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

(I'm afraid my knowledge of French music extends mostly to folk-rock groups like Tri Yann)

Well, that's a nice band to know

Yes - I blame my mother, not 2legs for a change

Better blame 2legs as well just to be on the safe side

Ah, yes, belts and braces and all that...

Well, now you got me stuck with

I love it when they sing all these Scottish and Irish things and you have to figure out which language they're singing in...

*bump*

Here is something for you:

It is quite, eer... interesting I'd say

Someone else who knows Monkey Island!

And who occasionally plays the original music instead of normal CDs Seriously, they wrote very good tracks.

I remember playing so much LeChuck's Revenge that, at some point, things I had to do were coming naturally (using jojo the monkey as a handle springs to mind )
