But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn
And now I issue a dare. A challenge, if you will. Get a song stuck in everyone's head this Friday. Go on. Just try it. Here's my contribution -- put yours in the comments:


It's not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do the things you do to me
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no...

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one...



Get to it...



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Nibblin' on sponge cake,
watchin' the sun bake;
All of those tourists covered with oil.
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp--
They're beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.

(sorry Robyn, I could not resist)

All right stop
Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow that a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop?
Yo--I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.

bwahahahahahahahahahha.

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star,
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

Oops - it's "moving to the country..." - sorry. My bad. Good song though.

Last one, I promise. Feel free to edit me and combine the comments. I tried to link directly but it didn't work. :-( I don't have trackback, so this is the best I can do. ;)

someone told me many many years ago, sing the Alka Seltzer jingle, and it will get ANY song stuck in your head, *out* of your head.

All fixed. In the future, you can just use the URL button right under the comment entry box. You paste the URL in the pop-up, and voila! Instant hyperlink. :-)

I actually did try that but it did nothing. OK, now I'm really going to bed. Probably singing, "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz...." ;)

Don't worry about a thing, cause everything little thing is going to be alright....
Singing... Don't worry about a thing, cause everything little thing is going to be alright....

Rise up this morning, smile with the rising sun.. three little birds perched by my doorstep. Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true.

Saying this is my message to you..who..who..

Don't worry about a thing, cause everything little thing is going to be alright....
Singing... Don't worry about a thing, cause everything little thing is going to be alright...

(feel free to clap,snap your fingers, or bounce around the house while singing on this No Pants Friday)

She's dressed in black again
And I'm falling down again
Down to the floor again
I'm begging for more again
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black

My mind wanders endlessly
On paths where she's leading me
With games that she likes to play
And words that she doesn't say
But not when we're alone
And she's dressed in black

Give me a whisper
and give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard, now
and please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you
and the times we had, baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight

I'm a blond little girl, in a fantasy world
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
You are my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamouring thing
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky
You can touch, you can play, if you say: I'm always yours
Uu-oooh

I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, that is your creation

Why do you build me up {build me up)
Buttercup, baby just to let me down {let me down}
And mess me around
And then worst of all {worst of all}
You never call baby when you say you will {say you will}
But I love you still

I need you {I need you}
More than anyone, darling
You know that I have from the start
So build me up {build me up}
Buttercup, don't break my heart

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover, fifty ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan
Don't need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free

From the most annoying song EVER, at least if you're a college football fan:

Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.

If you ever go to a game where Tennessee is involved, you'll be whistling it for a week. Mainly because it's apparently the ONLY song their band can play, and they play it every time they score, get a first down, or a player scratches his balls.

Imagine me and you
I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the one you love
And hold her tight
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're near me, baby, the skies will be blue
For all my life

(Sorry...this is what happens when you watch "Adaptation" and "Life or Something Like It" within a 24-hour period.)

Lost in a dream in the arms of the night
Two lonely prisoners of our own device
Don't let me go. Hold on together
You wanna know if love can be real
I wanna take everything I can steal
Love on the line, it's now or never.

Why can't the night last forever.

This could be Paradise
Holding you here by my side
If we just close our eyes
We'll be in Heaven tonight.

Run through the night down streets of desire
Burning my soul, my heart's on fire
Give up the fight, it's sweet surrender
With trembling hands we reach for it all
Two desperate hearts waiting to fall
I need you now, now more than ever.

Why can't the night last forever.

This could be Paradise
Holding you here by my side
If we just close our eyes
We'll be in Heaven tonight.

This feels like Paradise
I see the world in our eyes
If we just hold on tight
We'll be in Heaven tonight.

Song: Heaven Tonight
Artist: Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force
Album: Odyssey

It's one of many songs I've gotten stuck in my head at one time or another...

This is the song that never ends,
It just goes on and on my friends,
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was
And they’ll continue singing it forever just because,
This is the song that never ends....

*snicker*

If there were ever a song that was pure evil, it is that one, my friends...

"Spiderman. Spiderman.
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size.
Catches thieves- just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman!
Is he strong? Listen, bud.
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing, from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey, there! There goes the Spiderman!
In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime.
Like a streak of light, he arrives just in time!
Spiderman. Spiderman.
Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman.
Wealth and fame? He's ignored.
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big bang-up.
Wherever there's a hang-up,
you'll find the Spiderman!"
Hahaha! :p

This is guaranteed to be stuck in the heads of our New England friends...the theme song from the Foxwoods casino commercial (http://www.foxwoods.com)

Take a chance, make it happen
Pop a cork, fingers snapping
Spin the wheel, 'round and 'round we go!
Life is good, life is sweet
Grab yourself a front row seat
Let's meet, and have a ball
Let's live (let's live) for the wonder of it all!

Paradise, lucky seven
Grab yourself a piece of heaven
You and me, we can have it all
Living large, get on board
This is it, it's your reward
Let's meet, where the trees are standing tall
Let's live (let's live)
For the wonder of it all!
Meet me at Foxwood (Foxwoods!)

That damned song stays permanently in my head all summer, every summer. I hear it at least six hundred times during Red Sox TV and radio broadcasts! They even have a Spanish version!

Oh...and speaking of annoying local commercials during Red Sox games...I leave you with this gem:

Who do you call when your windshield's busted?
Call Giant Glass!
1-800-54-GIANT
Call Giant Glass!

Although that jingle gets stuck in my head a lot, when my windshield WAS busted, I called JN Phillips. LOL!!!

1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9, 10-11-12...
ladybugs came... to the Ladybug Picnic.

1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9, 10-11-12...
and they all played games... at the Ladybug Picnic.
They had 12 sacks so they had sack races,
and they fell on their backs and fell on their faces,
ladybugs twelve, at the Ladybug Picnic,
they played jump rope, 'till the rope - it broke,
so they just sat around telling "knock-knock" jokes,
ladybugs twelve, at the Ladybug Picnic.

1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9, 10-11-12...
and they chattered away, at the Ladybug Picnic,
they talked about the high price of furniture and rugs,
and fire insurance for ladybugs,
ladybugs twelve, at the Ladybug Picnic.

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinkin to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year
You can find it hear
