Doh! A dear, a free male dear! Ray, a dollop of golden buns!
Jul 31st 2008
Karen HawkinsGoddess Grins
Me, that’s what I saw myself!
Fah, a long, long chain of duns!
So, a needle hurling Fred!
La, the goat that hollars GO!
Tee, a clink of churning dread!
Which brings us back to . . . DOH!
Ok, so maybe those aren’t QUITE the words, but you get the gist. I’m not good with words, but tunes? Once I get one in my head, it burrows in and sets up house.
My daughter calls these songs ‘tune worms.’ It’s an infestation as it were. And I wish they’d make a pill for it already.
The worst thing about a tune worm is that it doesn’t even have to be — and usually isn’t — a song that you like. Sometimes it’s an ad jingle or a snippet of song that is, simply put, annoying and regrettably simple. I never get a tune worm that might impress people like Mozart’s seventh symphony. Nope! I’m the woman in the back singing The Dr. Pepper Jingle slightly off key and completely incorrectly over and over and over and over and over and … you know how it goes and it ain’t pretty.
My top ten most annoying tune worms:
1. She’s a briiiick house! She’s mighty, mighty, just lettin’ it all hang out!
2. Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper, too?
3. The Double Dutch Bus.
4. I’m Too Sexy For My (fill in blank)
5. Gobble ‘em down and the plate comes back – for Hungry Jack!
6. C is for Cookie
7. Yankee Doodle Dandy
8. And then I saw her face! And now I’m a Believer!
9. Roll Out the Barrel! Roll out the barrel of fun!
10. Should auld acquaintance be forgot aaaaand never lost to mind!
Have you ever had a tune worm? What was the song? How did you get rid of it or is it still humming in your mind right now? And two hours from now, will you be humming “I’M A PEPPER! SHE’S A PEPPER! HE’S A PEPPER! WE’RE A PEPPER! WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO BE A PEPPER, TOO!

I too suffer from the effects of the “tune worm”, some of the ones I ALWAYS get in my head are…
*The Adams Family Song (so along with the singing and humming, people also get to hear my snapping fingers every three seconds)
*Those little chants people sing at baseball and softball games (“we want a triple, just a little triple, t-r…t-r-i…t-r-i-p-l-e…TRIPLE!” lol)
*”Your Guardian Angel” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (love that song!!)
*”Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)” by Billy Joel (yet another beloved song)
*And just about every Joss Stone song known to man
Aside from that it’s usually just a certain song or jingle that captures my attention at one point in the day…
Lol it can often times be quite annoying but I tend to enjoy most of the tunes that worm their way into my brain. =)

Karen, there should be a special place in the seventh level of hades for people who deliberately make a tune worm enter an unsuspecting person’s mind. ARG!! I was fine until I read your blog and now I have several worms doing laps in my poor pointy head.
Mine are usually show tunes.
1: Bless your beautiful hide ( Seven Brides for Seven Brothers)
2: Eidelweiss (Sound of Music)
3: I like Him ( Man of La Mancha)
4: Panis Angelicus (Sting’s version)
I imagine I will be dropping back in as more worms appear.
Are you having fun in SF???

I have to laugh about the Sesame Street song. I know them all and my children are 33 and 31! Well, and 23 but the little one never did get into Sesame Street. It’s coming in handy singing to the grandbabies. The song I used to get stuck in my head is Big Spender, of course with all the sound effects. Let me get right to the point, bah, bum!
Leah Braemel on 31 Jul 2008 at 5:41 am #
Around this house, you daren’t sing It’s a Small World or Baby It’s Cold Outside. You WILL hear screaming from all quarters.
Margaret Garland on 31 Jul 2008 at 6:28 am #
“Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain, la de la dum.”
“There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one” This will be vying for space all day now!
“I love you. You love me. We’re a happy family!” Arrgghh!!
“I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire”
Just what I need today. Song worms! And more will come out now. Thnx, KarenH.
Margaret Garland on 31 Jul 2008 at 6:32 am #
I hope the goddesses are having fun in SF this week. I can’t wait to hear the juicy details of their mis-behavior.
Oh No! A song worm just popped into my head!
“I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars”
Put that in your brain today, KarenH!
FreshEChelle on 31 Jul 2008 at 6:42 am #
Oh Karen, you’ve a vicious streak going today! I call tune worms “musical headaches”. A couple of years ago, my musical headache was Ringo Starr’s “Photograph” for 5 freaking months!!!
cail on 31 Jul 2008 at 6:50 am #
i’ve had Abba stuck in my head since I saw Mamma Mia. Specifically the song ‘Super Trouper’ which I know very few of the lyrics to, and ‘Honey Honey’ which I like a lot, but again, only know one line…
Emmiebee on 31 Jul 2008 at 7:05 am #
Oh, no, not song worms! Run, RUN!! Even worse is when all you know is the parody of a song, though. My DH has an unfortunate passion for Weird Al songs, so I can sometimes be found to be humming “White and Nerdy”, or “Amish Paradidse”. Sheesh. Oh, and showtunes are impossible to dislodge. I’ll leave you with “Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, silver white winters that melt into Spring, these are a few of my favorite things!”
Lose that one, if you can!

I listen to music all day long (right now I’m stuck on country) and pretty much like what I listen to. My song worms are songs I like although they tend to be the same song over and over. But you all have done a good job of putting some nasty ones in my head.
Karen H, I’m not familiar with the Double Dutch Bus. Should I just leave it alone? Especially if it’s on your bad list?
Michelle B on 31 Jul 2008 at 7:36 am #
I’ve always got songs stuck in my head. My husband will sing or whistle a song, any song, and in a few minutes I’ll be doing the same song and you’ll hear my DH say, “Gotcha!” He loves that game, and I play along sooo well. So I am forever getting caught by the radio, elevator music (when did the songs I loved so well in my teens become elevator music?!), movies, whatever.
Cail – I’ve had Mamma Mia stuck in my head since the trailers for that movie came out and now that I’ve seen it (wonderful movie btw) not only do I sing, but dance as well. When Indiana Jones came out I was whistling that song all the time, drove my kids batty.
Hope you are having a “toe-tapping” time in SF, Goddesses!
Kari on 31 Jul 2008 at 8:03 am #
Ditto to the Mamma Mia statements. Cute flick!
My song worms are:
What would you dooooOOooo for a Klondike Bar?
So I can watch that video I got in my head of a blue-eyed boy dancin’ in the bed of a two-toned Ford Oh Lord, is it love? I just can’t say but I’ve had that song in my head all day – by Julianne Hough ( I can’t get this friggin song out of my head!!)
I’m sure after reading all of today’s post I can add to this list
cail on 31 Jul 2008 at 8:09 am #
i love that muppet song!
Kathy/Cookie on 31 Jul 2008 at 8:27 am #
I love that muppet song too! my fav Muppet song is from The Frog Prince. I named my cat after my favourite muppet Sweetums.
” sweetums lay your ugly head, down upon your wretched bed…”
I was singing Cookie Monsters song 2wks ago with my girlies at the grands- everytime someone ate a cookie- we belted out the song.lol
Plus I gave Laura a tune worm a few weeks back. I started singing ” It’s hard to be humble” it was too funny!
And during the sleepover at the grands the girls and I kept singing the song “I kissed a girl”
77 yr old Grammie didn’t think it was funny. But then I told her about the song lyrics I used to blissfully sing when I was kid- Lady Marmalade’s french chorus!! not knowing what it meant. and my mother French! MUHhahahahahahahah. the girls just like the beat of kissed anyway. it’s catchy

Oh god this happens to me all the time.
Everyone was kung fu fighting….
Super Freak

I am sure there are more but I am a bit frazzled this am. My dad fell and broke his hip last night so things are kinda out of sorts this am.

I don’t want to think about others because already these are in my head and I can’t get rid of them.
Hope all the goddesses are having a good time at the RITA’s. Don’t forget that we want to hear all the inside scoops and stories.
Kathy/Cookie on 31 Jul 2008 at 9:22 am #
oh Judy!!
wishing your dad a speedy recovery!!
Judy F on 31 Jul 2008 at 9:26 am #
Thanks Kathy they are doing surgery today at 4ish. Its been a rough year with my parents.
LauraR on 31 Jul 2008 at 9:42 am #
Judy when my grandmother broke her hip several years ago they did surgery in the evening and then they had her up out of bed the next morning. Keep thinking those good thoughts!
Karen Hawkins on 31 Jul 2008 at 9:54 am #
Judy, I hope your father gets better fast!
Thank you all for the new tune worms. Now, I’m going to be snapping my fingers to The Adams Family theme (thanks, cherie), Baby, It’s Cold Outside (leah, that’s a good one because it will also make me want to dance which I don’t do well, either), Eidelweiss (eviqn, that’s a tricky one because I know only ONE WORD in the whole song), Hey Big Spender (Audrey, that’s a tough one to get out of your head, too), The House of the Rising Sun (Oh yeah, Margaret, trust you to pick one that will make my two note humming voice crack painfully — my roomie will NOT be happy about that!), oh yes, Mama Mia songs (Cail, aren’t they HORRIBLE tune worm songs? So catchy!), My Fovorite Things (Emmiebee, I don’t know why, but that’s the worst one for me from Sound of Music), and MORE!
Man, you all are gooooood at this! My head is going to ’splode!
Karen Hawkins on 31 Jul 2008 at 9:59 am #
Thank goodness I don’t know Fresh’s tune worm from Ringo. It sounds particularly pernicious.
Dbrown — Double Dutch Bus is a funky song from oh, the early 80s, I think. Very catchy, though. If you hear it, you will lay awake tonight humming it and trying to do the little rap in the background.
Michelle, I love the game you and your husband play! He’s a Tune Worm Infector!
Kari, the Knodike Bar song is a good one! I’m not sure about the commerical, although I can say ‘Corinthian Leather’ EXACTLY the way Mr. Rourke would.
Kathy, share those Tune Worms! That’s what they’re for!
Judy F, isn’t Super Freak hard to get out of your head? And there are definitely places you don’t want to be singing that one!
Karen Hawkins on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:05 am #
Elsie, noooo! Not ‘We Are Family!’ I’ll never, EVER get rid of that one.
Judy, my friend who was hit with a car had his hip surgery and is doing really well. Said the hard part was being in bed in pain before the surgery. He’s up and walking now. I hope your dad is up and about soon!
Conference Report: Had a great book signing yesterday and got to see all of the goddesses! Julia London looks fabu, all trim and skinny, as does Karen Rose who’d just gone shopping with Claudia D! Claudia, btw, was wearing the most adorable outfit — that woman knows how to dress! Sabrina Jeffries had her assistant with her (We’re all jealous and want assistants now), and Suzanne Enoch was wearing the prettiest silver/gray dress ever. I think we’re all stuffed into Spanx and powdered up for the event, so it was quit glam!
We will DEFINITELY post about our RITA contestants! We’ve all got fingers and toes crossed!
Margaret Garland on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:05 am #
Judy, I’m so sorry about your dad. No wonder your are frazzled. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for his surgery to go well and that he heals quickly.
Sandy "Snik" White on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:05 am #
I get the most random song worms at times, thankfully, I learned today, I’m not the only one singing commercials. The main culprits for me are as follows:
1. Zoom, zoom, zoom (stupid car jingle, I don’t even know what kind it is)
2. A specific song from Sesame Street. There used to be a break and it would show a ping pong machine and the song would go a little something like this…1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 8 9 10….11 12. Anybody? Anybody? It might just be me, but it gets in there, and doesn’t let go.
3. Popular, Loathing and Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked.
4. *hangs head in shame* Best of both worlds from Hannah Montana
Margaret Garland on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:24 am #
KarenH, “The House of the Rising Sun” is pretty much a 2 note song, isn’t it? I can only sing the first stanza. I like it even when it gets stuck in my brain.
Here’s another that popped in my head.
“We’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect Har-mo-ny”. All I know of that one, TG.
“Good morning America how are you?
Don’t you know me I’m your native son,
I’m the train they call The City of New Orleans,
I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.” – Not only does that get stuck, but it’s stuck with Willie’s voice. Not a pretty way to spend the day. LOL
Margaret Garland on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:28 am #
My baby’s gone! Wah! She done left me all alone. And she’s turning her cell phone off during the day. *Sniffle*
Yes, goddesses, my little jockette, Olivia, left for 4 days in VA for a huge softball tournament. I took her this morning to meet her ride. Her coach, his helper/friend and 3 other giggly girls. They were already in high gear when I left them. And I don’t mean driving gear. Caoch Jere was still struggling to tied the top thing down on his mini-van when I departed.
Not only could neither her mom nor I go, but she didn’t WANT us to go. Oh the cruelty of children.
And, now, we have KarenH sticking song worms in our heads. Talk about cruel!
Kari on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:29 am #
Welcome back, Sniky!!
As for your #1, it’s Mazda. And someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure Mr. McDreamy is the voice for Mazda.
Every time I hear “We Are Family” I automatically think of “It’s Raining Men”.
Thanks for the report, Karen!!! It’s good to know our Goddesses aren’t dressed in bikini tops (as pictued above).
Aemelia on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:34 am #
I always seem to get The Carpenters stuck in my head (my mother used to play them on our road trips)
-Sing, Sing A Song…La La Lalala La La Lalala…
-Close to You-Why do birds suddenly appear…
etc, etc, etc….
SheridanLA on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:43 am #
I had a song from Avenue Q stuck in my head for quite a while.. even made me keep giggling enough to make it my ring tone.. The Internet is for Porn.. The Internet is for pon.. why you think the net was born? porn, porn, porn.. tee hee
I also had Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash in my head on training rides forever. I blame that on one of the other mentors. weasel got it stuck in there for me.
Then, to torture one of our assistants, I merely sing the new Willy Wonka and she has it in her head all day. *evil grin*
Those are all I can think of right now..
Judy, my thought are with your dad today.

SuzyQ on 31 Jul 2008 at 10:59 am #
One song that always pops in my head is “Let’s go baby, let’s go baby, come on” Don’t remember who sings it but whenever someone says “let’s go” it just starts in my head.
Margaret Garland on 31 Jul 2008 at 11:00 am #
OMG, Sheridan!!! *Groooooaaaann!!!
December (funkybunny) on 31 Jul 2008 at 11:41 am #
LOL @ SheridanLA – the internet is for Porn!! Loved that show.
Its usually some Jimmy Buffett (which is a GOOD thing!) or whatever song was on the radio when the alarm goes off. (possibly a Bad thing.)
Suzanne Enoch on 31 Jul 2008 at 11:56 am #
Ka-Ha, you crack me up. “La, the goat that hollers ‘Go’!”
For some reason “I am the pirate king” from Pirates of Penzance has been going through my head all morning, along with “Fins” by Jimmy Buffet. Maybe because we’ve been watching “Shark Week”.
Freedom Writer on 31 Jul 2008 at 12:00 pm #
Just this morning I had a tune worm. I kept singing: One singular sensation, every little move she makes. I was singing about myself of course.
Other tune worms include:
She’s a very freaky girl, the kind you don’t take home to mother. From a Rick James song.
Another from SBFSB: And the women were sobbin, sobbin, sobbin…
(The Worst): Who lives in a pineapple under the sea, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! Absorbent and Yellow and Porous is he, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

But it’s summer and we’re runnin’ out a’ ice

Spongebob!! love it!!
I get Log stuck in my head from Ren and Stimpy once in a while..
It’s log, it’s log,
It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood.
It’s log, it’s log, it’s better than bad, it’s good.”
Everyone wants a log
You’re gonna love it, log
Come on and get your log
Everyone needs a log
log log log
and yeah, December.. Ave. Q is BRILLIANT.
Kathy/Cookie on 31 Jul 2008 at 12:27 pm #
I usually have a Hedley song in my head
this one- the video is a cheesy send up of “Rio” by Duran Duran….

There are times when I can’t stop singing the Spider Pig song, even though I’ve never actually seen the Simpsons movie. But my best friend kept singing it weeks after she’s been to the cinema, and now it’s stuck in my head!
“Spider Pig, Spider Pig, does whatever a Spider Pig does…”
Oh my…
cail on 31 Jul 2008 at 1:32 pm #
welcome back Sniky!!!! We missed you!
I loved Ave Q. And the Internet is for Porn ALWAYS gets stuck in my head. Usually when ppl make a comment about the internet, the purpose of the internet, or porn. which happens very often.
Kari on 31 Jul 2008 at 1:57 pm #
Let’s say that someone might not know of this “Internet is for Porn” song…..where might she, I mean someone find it?
Sniky, how did you like Mamma Mia? I heard it was a gas!!
Mamma Mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resist you?
hahaha
Kerri on 31 Jul 2008 at 2:10 pm #
Sesame Street has many catchy tunes that later stick in your head forever. For me, it’s “The Elephant Elevator Operator”. I can’t get into an elevator without that song going through my head! Or how about, “Some of these things are not like the others, some of these things are kind of the same”?
Sandy "Snik" White on 31 Jul 2008 at 2:37 pm #
Cail! thanks for the welcome!
Kari – as for you…no more eating BEFORE a movie! The songs however were great…that is, until Pierce Brosnon sang…I could NOT keep it together.
cail on 31 Jul 2008 at 2:43 pm #
Sniky, they should have DEFINITELY cut his last song. Or next time they should cast men who can sing!
Sheridan LA on 31 Jul 2008 at 2:50 pm #
Kari.. you an find the Avenue Q soundtrack on itunes, I believe..
and how could I forget Spider Pig?!???!??!? so. funny!!!
Sheridan LA on 31 Jul 2008 at 2:51 pm #

That just isn’t right!! LOL
Totally agree, Cail.

I am the anti-SuzanneE because we are polar opposites. You’ll have to check out Suz and my blog on Saturday to see what I mean. Heh!
I am sitting in a luncheon in a hotel ballroom getting ready to hear Victoria Alexander speak and all I can think is:
SPIDER PIG! SPIDER PIG! ALWAYS DOING WHAT A SPODER PIG DOES!!!! CAN HE FLY? NO, CAUSE HE’S A PIG!!!!!!!……
Thanks, guys!
Yasmin on 31 Jul 2008 at 3:09 pm #
Lately I’ve had the Harry potter theme song in my head. One that always keeps coming back is
” The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I’m the only one”
Yasmin on 31 Jul 2008 at 3:11 pm #
ohh I just remembered this I always have in my head
” hey mickey you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind, hey mickey, hey, hey, hey mickey”

Sheridan did you feel the earthquake where you live? My brother really felt it in Azusa when he was working. I think they said said it was a 5.4 or 5.8 near chino hills.

Yaya,
yeah… we felt it.. was trippy.. I felt like my chair was on a boat… the ground rolled under me.. we were in the middle of a shoot and one of our clients was in the bathroom, she thought we were messing with her somehow… not sure how we would have made the bathroom floor move.. but there ya go!
Karen Rose on 31 Jul 2008 at 4:07 pm #
Now I’m humming I’m Mr. White Christmas, I’m Mr. Snow.
Gee, thanks.
Hey! C is for Cookie is a classic. As are all the other Sesame Street songs. “Oh what is the letter we love? What sound are we extra fond of? It’s not any trouble you know it’s a W when you hear whoo whoo whoo!”
I have been properly educated in the art of fine shopping. Claudia is awesome! We did Nordstrom’s in an hour. One hour. My mind was all a-whirly. I told Claudia not to let me leave with blue or black and she took me at my word. I thought for a moment she’d draw blood when I picked out the fifth blue thing, LOL.
I am humbled and amazed… Shopping, it’s not just a job. It’s an adventure.
Margaret Garland on 31 Jul 2008 at 4:52 pm #
So what color did Claudia let you have? And what was it?
An hour of shopping at a department store sounds like 55 minutes too long for me.
Karen Hawkins on 31 Jul 2008 at 5:07 pm #
Nooooooo! Not the Hey Mickey song! Make it stop!!!!
Suzanne E was on a plane when the quake hit. She said the flight attendant never stopped in her presentation. The lady must have had nerves of steel!
Paula on 31 Jul 2008 at 5:29 pm #
You are all making my head go strange with all those songs going round and round, I’m never going to be able to sleep tonight! I have been listening to Amy McDonald so much I seem to have her songs floating around in my head at the moment.
YaYA like Karen H Not the Hey Mickie song it gets so irritating.
I’m off to bed and hope that all those tune worms will keep quiet and let me sleep.( it is 1130 pm here in the Uk)
Hope all you goddessess in SF are having a good time.
Judy F on 31 Jul 2008 at 5:57 pm #
Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers. My dad is 83 and was diag with alhzeimer’s about 4 months ago. He is doing well since he is now on meds for it but the doc is worried how it will effect his recovery. The surgery went well so its just wait and see now. I think I am going to bed soon.
Here are a few more songs:
Oops There it is…
Are you ready for this?….
Oh what a beautiful morning. ( I had that song in my head the other day)
Can’t touch this. (hammer time)
Ellen on 31 Jul 2008 at 6:47 pm #
This one is killing us. Both the DH and I had to endure the same song over and over when our boy was learning the Recorder. (That flutelike thingy)
Ready? Here goes
Nau tee Puss eee Cat
Nau tee Puss eee Cat
Nauty Puss E
Nauty Puss E
Nau tee Puss eee Cat
My DH sings it to me every time he wants me to laugh.
Judy on 31 Jul 2008 at 7:06 pm #
I’ll tell you what I had in my head all day long today.
“Honey Honey” and “Mamma Mia” by Abba. I saw Mamma Mia! last night and had those two songs in my head.
Yesterday I had “Dear Maria, Count Me In” by All Time Low. My friend had it in her head and her worm tranfered to my head.
I used to have “Happiness Is A Warm Gun” the Across the Universe movie version, because I just loved that movie and kept watching lol.
And also because I’m a big Fall out Boy fan I’m always singing Sugar, We’re Going Down, I don’t know why I always get stuck on this song but I do.
I don’t watch T.V. much anymore, so I rarely have commercial dittys in my head anymore. Although, it’s easy to get the Elmo’s World song in my head…now that is song worm that never leaves…

I know I’ve gotten song worms, but as of late, there really haven’t been all that many. Is it possible to build up a tolerance to them?
And JudyF, (((HUGS))). I’m glad your dad’s surgery went well. My mom broke her hip several years ago (she was running an errand for me at the time–can I say guilt trip?!), and the first day or so after her surgery, she was pretty groggy, but they did have her up and moving already the next day. I think it’s been about 4 years now. While she has to be careful, she’s moving pretty good, though does run into balance issues every once in a while. I hope his recovery goes well for you!!

3-4 years ago Vonage (a phone company) appeared in the world. They had silly super funny commercials, people doing silly stuff and getting hurt. For some reason I find this hilarious…weird I know. To go with the silly little skits they had a tune, woohoo, woohoo hoo, or some such thing. Well it’s been in my head ever since, we’re talking YEARS…I hum it everyday. Drives my DH NUTS! But I do it un conciously.
It doesn’t bother me, but it does bother anyone around me!
Also, there’s a FRIENDS episode, where Monica is comforting Rachel/Ross’s baby, and she swings the baby back and forth and says (sings) ‘oh baby baby’ in a deep voice…I do this regularly too. Why, I have no idea!

The bandaid song is sticky like glue. It’s in my head, ohhhh, MAKE IT STOOOOP!
Judy, good thoughts your way. It’s so tough when your parents or kids hurt. I hope the surgery goes well and it doesn’t impede your dad’s progress.
And Kathy, Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog is HYSTERICAL!

The “Looking Back” song popped into my head while I was driving home from picking up pizza. My sons and I would sing it on the way to and from pre-school. With my voice or lack thereof my sons still love me.
Karen Hawkins on 01 Aug 2008 at 1:00 pm #
The song that never ends is THE worst tune worm song ever! And now, thanks so much, I’m going to be humming it all day.
Unless, of course, I can find a way to scrub me wee brain!
Kathy/Cookie on 01 Aug 2008 at 5:56 pm #
oh, and just so you know, the Addams Family theme song is my ring tone on my cell!

I alternate it with The Monkees theme song

Lol Kathy! Those are self-inflicted tune worms! You’ll get no sympathy from me!
