Earworm alert (Subject line changed to divert lynch mob)
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 03:02 PM by undisclosedlocation
Who keeps getting "This Is It" by Kenny Loggins stuck in my head?

It's not funny, dammit! Especially the Michael McDonald parts.

Seriously, is somebody using this in an ad campaign? I have no idea why the damn thing keeps creeping insidiously into my head day after day. I swear I abused no substances in the 70s that would lead to flashbacks. (But wouldn't that be a particularly evil one?)

5. All apologies; I swear that passing it on was not my intent
I find that "Police On My Back" (Clash version) defeats most earworms.

Now I better go edit the original subject line before the Lounge can get its torches and pitchforks together!

8. See # 5
All apologies (which, come to think of it, ought to be another good tune for defeating earworms)

3. Is this one better?
People smile and tell me I’m the lucky one, and we’ve just begun,
Think I’m gonna have a son.
He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love,
Sun is gonna shine above.

Chorus:
And even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with ya honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

Seems as though a month ago I beta chi, never got high,
Oh, I was a sorry guy.
And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name,
Now I’m through with the game, this boy will never be the same.

(to chorus:)
Pisces, virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind,
And the little boy is mine.
Now I see a family where there once was none, now we’ve just begun,
Yeah, we’re gonna fly to the sun.

(to chorus:)

Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up,
Love her and she’ll bring you luck.
And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home,
Don’t you live alone, try to earn what lovers own.

(to chorus:)

:hide:

9. Yes it is, actually
Heck, I don't actually have anything against "This Is It." Just bewildered by its continuing reappearance in my brain. That and I can't sing tenor...

4. Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose.

7. That one too! Oh my god, I'm possessed by Kenny Loggins!
(although I only know the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band version, so I guess I'm just possessed by his songs.)
