Blame eyesroll... she mentioned earworms

[redqueen]

So why should I suffer alone? This radio station plays this song every day I think, right when I'm waking up. It's an evil plot, I think.

And don't bitch at me... you clicked, didn't you?


Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces
Traces of romance in our heads!

[GOPisEvil]

1. Grrrrrr...I knew better...

[redqueen]

16. Yes

Yes, you did.

Masochist. :P

[Richardo]

2. For god's sake change stations!

You're obviously in the real life version of "Groundhog Day". :scared:

[Richardo]

3. PS: eyesroll *always* mentions earworms, so that's no excuse.

[redqueen]

6. True

You have a point, there.

Still... I'm happy to have some company now.

:)

4. Christ I saw her live

at the Moore Theater in 1974 or some shit like that-I hate you for now, redqueen. That brings me mind cooties as well :(

[redqueen]

8. Awwwww

Sorry you hate me.

Would you kick my ass for me?

[miss_kitty]

21. Yes, if that'll make me feel better

:evilgrin:

5. Eeep! I Like That Song

The original by Maria Muldaur, though. I really dig the jazzy guitar solo in the middle and i really like her phrasing a lot. I don't like the recent remake though.

10. Remake?

I didn't know about that.

I don't hate the song, but having it in my head every. single. morning. is WAY too much.

I'll be your belly dancer... prancer
And you can be my sheik...

(Always bristle at that part... it's pronounced SHAKE not SHEEK... grr.)

[ProfessorGAC]

22. It's Pronounced That Way NOW!

As the Middle East is more in our consciousness, we pronounce it as you say. But, trust me, in the 70's i never heard one person say "SHAKE". It was always "SHEEK". And, my dad's friend (and my Confirmation Sponsor) lived in Saudi for many years. And he ALWAYS said "SHEEK".

So, it was right when Maria said it.

On the remake thing: One of the faux country, semi-torch singers has a VH1 video. I don't know who she is, and i don't care. I don't do country.

7. Don't make me drag out the Sir Mix A Lot.

Actually, that statement works in many, many situations.

[redqueen]

12. Her butt is so big!

I don't get it.

You're over my head so much, sometimes I think you're an aeroplane.

[eyesroll]

18. Get it or not....at 3 a.m., you'll be thinking about anacondas.

And fruit.

[Kellanved]

9. don't get me started

There was this summer hit here, "Dragostea din tei" (or similar). Anyway, I got to spent a few days stateside, and I had hoped to escape the song ... but no: some guy a few rooms down kept it going 24/7 :grr:

[redqueen]

13. I think it's a sign

someone up there hates you.

[Gothic Sponge]

11. So I'd like to know where, you got the notion

Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
To rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat

[redqueen]

14. hahahahahahaha

Thanks! I think that knocked out the crooning. :)

Time will tell...

[ismnotwasm]

15. Blech

I"M listening to "Think" by Drowning Pool. Nothing like a little mainstream metal to FORCE those earworms right out of your head

[redqueen]

19. Yeah

that'd get me fired, though.

[ismnotwasm]

24. There is that is suppose.

Hey, I wonder what a metal version of Midnight at the Oasis would sound like? Betcha someone's done it. Hmm I'll ask my son.

[CO Liberal]

17. I'll See Your "Oasis", and Raise You One....

The sun will come out tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow,
They'll be sun.....

:-)

[redqueen]

20. Now I have to SING!

[liontamer]

23. I have never even heard of that song

maybe you should switch radio stations

[redqueen]

26. No, I coulnd't possibly

This 70's station is all that I can listen to. It's sad, I know. I have to have the radio on all night. The classical station plays marches at inappropriate times, and the jazz station (the good one) goes off the air at midnight.

[sundog]

25. Actually, Brand New Heavies did a great cover of that several yrs ago

[redqueen]

27. I'm going to have to check that out

How've ya been, sundog?

:hi:

[sundog]

28. busy busy busy... which is good - keeping the bills paid :)

[donheld]

29. God i love Maria's verson

[redqueen]

30. Is that Vin Diesel in the shower as your avatar?

YUM!

[donheld]

31. yes it is
