I will not have a problem with this earworm, mine right now is a great
catchy little song I was taught by a friend who has two small boys. I
wrote it down and taught my little grand daughter and I just have to say
"zoom" and have everyone singing, zooming and humming for hours

Here goes

Zoom, zoom ,zoom,
we're going to the moon
zoom, zoom, zoom
W'ill get there pretty soon

come and join us on our trip
Clib aboard our rocket ship
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We're going to the moon

Ten, Nine, eight, seven, six five, four, three, two, one

"blast off"

any other earworms to share..........

OMG!
The one I've got today is:
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
And then one day he was shootin' at some food
When up from the ground came a bubblin' crude.
Oil, that is, Texas tea.
Well, the first thing ya know, ole Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said, "Jed, move away from there"
Said, "Californy is the place you oughta be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is, swimmin' pools, movie stars.
etc...etc....etc...

Earworms, Well, for me they are usually some silly song I hear on the
radio, maybe a one-hit-wonder, example, "Come on Eileen" or one of the goofy
songs on my DD's cartoon shows, example "Pepper-Ann" theme song or Dragon
Tails tune.

AAhhhh! Doesn't it just drive ya Crrrraaazzyyyy!!!!

give me an earworm over tinitus any day! When I do get one, I love singing

I've got a Willie Nelson tune in my head...

I didn't come here
And I ain't leaving!
I've been thrown into better places than this!
I didn't come here
And I ain't leaving!
So you better pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss!

In that timeless Willie style - bluesy with quite a lot of hop to it...

noise....LOL

DH taught our oldest DD to play a tune from Charlotte's Web and
everytime she passes the piano she plays it. It is SO in my mind and
**I CAN'T GET IT OUT**. I should be happy she is doing something

ok after seeing that post the weirdest song popped into my head for some
reason ...I can't remember the exact words but it was something along these
lines

When I was a itty bitty boy my grandmother gave me a cute little toy .
Silver bells hanging on a string and she told me it was my ding a ling a
ling.

I remember that one, too. Not well enough to give more words, but enough to
have the tune in my head now. <g>

Ok, I've missed all the *really* good parts of this thread, I think... Yes, I'm
gonna google it when I get around to it. <eg> I'm 'satiably curious about the
rest of the songs.

But *this* song, I remember. I used to love it! So I went and googled for the
lyrics. Attributed to both Bobby Rydell and Chuck Berry as the singer; no, I
didn't bother checking further to find who actually wrote it. ;)) I heard the
Bobby Rydell version the most, I think; although I'm not positive about that.
What I do remember is that whoever it was, he managed to give it the *lewdest*
intonation you could ever imagine, especially for a white-bread, AM radio
station in the 60's! (KISN, Portland, OR, in case anyone's wondering - THE rock
'n roll station in the city, back in the day.) I noticed that even in third
grade. ::snerk:::

Methinks they used to play it around Christmas a lot. LOL! (well, hey; it was
Portland. the city that produced the band the Kingsmen, of 'Louie Louie' fame.
remember the flap about the possible obscenity of *that* song?? and now the One
More Time Around Again Marching Band, all 500+ strong, use LL as their theme
song, and play it while marching in the Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade,
televised over a goodly part of the country. ahh, progress!)

OK, sorry, no, I don't work for the Portland Chamber of Commerce, despite the
rumors...back to Ding-A-Ling:

*********
Ding-a-Ling
Bobby Rydell

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling

Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
Fell so hard I heard bells RING!
But held onto my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling

Then I was swimming cross Turtle Creek
MAN! Them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimmin' 'cross that thing
With both hands holding my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling

Then Mama took me to grammar school
But I stopped off in the vestibule
Every time that bell would ring
Catch me playin' with my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling

This little song, it ain't so bad
The cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
Must be playin with your own ding-a-lings!

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Won't you play with my ding-a-ling

Man, it's a good thing I can get Radio AOL now, with my new computer. This one

Nope! It will go...
"Round, like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are ticking past the minutes of its face
And the world is just an apple spinning silently in space
Like the images you find in the windmills of your mind."

Oh, my gosh! We used to go to dance clubs and do the polka to whatever
rock-and-roll song that was being performed!

We also had a regular Tuesday meeting at the Plaza Bar & Grill. After
chorus practice (2:00 PM), we would go there and occupy a little side room
that had a fireplace and club chairs. We talked and sang a capella while we
drank beer and snacked on appetizers. Other patrons of the bar enjoyed our
shenanigans so much that we got a lot of free food and drinks. Eventually,
we had a following of people who came just to hear us! We probably
introduced a lot of people to classical and jazz music, so it was well worth
the effort. We usually stayed until 8-9:00 PM, spending the last few hours
sobering up so we could drive home safely.

Those were the good old days!

Sigh! I returned to Franzl's once, but it was closed. I have never gone to a
reunion, as Calgary is just too far to justify it. Someday.

::snickering:: Oh my...I just keep imagining your poor bus drivers! Do those
folks get combat pay? <bg>

Only time I rode a school-bus was during the 3 years I lived out in the
country, and ours had a radio. So it was usually tuned to a rock 'n roll
station. I'm happy to report no violence occurred due to music, either to/from
the driver (a 23-yr-old woman) or students (wee ones in kindergarten to seniors
in HS). Good thing; with that mix, I can imagine the arguments about which
songs we'd sing on the half-hour or so trip to/from school. Especially in the
mornings, when we weren't sure our driver had had her coffee yet... ;))

Man, the *courage*!

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting burnt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head....

Heh...thanks for all the 'summer' songs, folks. Now I can at least be thankful
I don't have flies!

Hmm...I keep forgetting every summer to be thankful for *no mosquitoes*, too.
Since moving from downtown to the east side of Portland, I've only been bitten
by skeeters around home about 3 times - that's a record, in 12 years!

Although when it gets above 90+, I might trade a few mosquito bites for cooler
weather. <g> Maybe.

Well, my school bus driver, was the truent officer so we had no excuse for not
being on it. Our favorite was the 99 bottles of beer on the wall. We usually
sang that on the way to and from the picnic at the lake that the driver would
take us on once a year. Fond memories.

Which version tho, Nora?
..... if one of those bottles should happen to fall....
or
..... take one down, pass it around....

I'm laughing as here we complained about all the cold and snow we had this past

I, for one, am not fool enough to want the cold and snow back, but I do

Yes, Helen, sweater weather is about the best. Of course, what I call summer
weather, most of you would call sweater weather anyhow. <g>
And I don't really mind the cold and snow - as long as I can stay caught up
with the shovelling.
