12. "We can dance if we want to..."
Yeah, I figured you might be too young for that one. (It's "Dancing in the Moonlight," by King Harvest, one of the truly awful songs of all time, and a really insidious earworm. Consider yourself lucky not to know it.)

3. Do your worst, amateur.
My strength is as that of ten men, because my heart is pure.

It don't matter to me
If you really feel that
You need sometime to be free
Time to go out searching for yourself
Hoping to find time to go to find

And it don't matter to me
If you take up with someone
Who's better than me
'Cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind
---

Don't make me get out the big guns!

17. "My baby takes the morning train/ he works from 9 to 5 and then..."
Big guns? Hell, I haven't even cracked the ABBA songbook yet.

19. So sorry, your spitballs ain't even getting close
Right now I'm listening to Johnny Winter's live version of Tobacco Road, and some live accoustic Allman Brothers is queued up behind it. Your weenie little ditties ain't even making an eyebrow twitch.

What's that they say- "The best offense is a good defense"? Or sentiments to that effect... :rofl:

20. Don't MAKE me start in with Kenny Loggins!
Actually, I thought that I was the only one prey to that particular earworm affliction until I posted about it and Matcom and others nearly killed me. I'm probably still on a few Ignore lists for that one, just as I'm probably getting onto a lot for this.

22. "Rock me gently/ rock me slowly/ Take it easy/ Don't you know/
that I have never been loved like this before"

That's probably my best shot; anyway, since nobody else appears to be interested (or they've already hit the big X by this thread) I think I'll go ahead to sleep. You can declare victory if you like.

10. woohoo ~ strawberry alarm clock...
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' and kind.
Dead kings, many things I can't define.
Oh Cajun spice, sweats and blushers your mind.
Incense and peppermints, the color of thyme.

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose.

Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns.
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around.
Look at yourself, look at yourself,
Yeah, yeah.
Look at yourself, look at yourself,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah.

Tune-a by the cockeyed world in two.
Throw your pride to one side, It's the least you can do.
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new.
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view.

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose.

Good sense, innocence, crippled and kind.
Dead kings and many things I can't define.
Oh Cajun spice, sweats and blushers your mind.
Incense and peppermints, the color of thyme.

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose.

Incense, peppermints, incense, peppermints.

Sha-la-la, sha-la-la.....

13. The first record that was ever played for me, at the grand old age of 5
and still a great one. For pulling out such a wonderful chestnut, you are excused from receiving earworms, unless you were implying that it's one, in which case I'm not sure I'd argue with you about that either.
