When I get really cheerful, I am apt to start singing very silly songs. Monday evening the one that was running through my head was "Fish and Chips and Vinegar". Today it's one or two variants on "I'm a little teapot".

I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my [arm akimbo] handle, here is my [arm akimbo]... Oops! I'm a sugar bowl!

I'm a little CJ, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout
When I get all steamed up and I shout
Just feed me 'cause my blood sugar's out!

I hadn't thought of Fish and Chips and Vinegar since girl scout camp in 1978, and now I have an ear worm.

*blink blink*

I'm gonna have to call for a translator on that one...

What part needs translation? Ear worm? It's a song, or part of a song, or melody that gets stuck in the head.

In the shower right now I had not only Fish and Chips and Vinegar but the two songs that are sung with it in descant.

I think of those as three "verses" of the same "song". We always sang them as a round.

Clearly I was deprived as a child. I don't know that song.

Perhaps Mary and I can sing it for you at fondue.

Oh good. I don't think I know it either.

Ah! You want to see two cute blond women doing something together. ;-)

I know how to make it a three-way. :)

*innocent blink* Who else knows the song?

I'll spend the next week or so teaching Casey. ;)

It's okay, you can have an ear worm, too. Just think of little dolls, singing. Over and over. :)

It's an okay renditiion, the sound quality is even worse through
headphones.


At least my officemate is happy.

Again, I say...

Bwaaaahahahahahahahahaaaa!!

Augh! No! Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

I have honestly never heard the term 'Ear Worm' to describe a song that gets stuck in your head.

*shudder* EWWWWW!!!!

... ok better now...
Wednesday, April 24th, 2002 11:03 am (UTC)
I'm just glad it's not "Apples and Bananas". Once THAT song gets in my head, it takes days to leave.
Wednesday, April 24th, 2002 12:13 pm (UTC)
Damn, now that one is stuck in my head. Now I am just going ot have to go play Rowan his kiddie song CD to get it out.
