Walking past Canadian embassy with brother and definitely definitely did NOT sing "Uncle Fucker" from South Park.

Fantasticmissfoxy · 10/07/2017 20:47

Anytime anyone mentions Canada I have to sing 'there's no Canada like French Canada' a la South Park 😳 come across a single person yet who gets the reference, usually just get funny looks....

Cooking tonight and husband asks for Thyme and without realising I start singing something from a Denzel Washington movie 'Thyme is on my side, yes it is'. Apparently I do it every thyme time Smile

A relative used to live in Ware, Hertfordshire.

Any time it was mentioned, this would occur:

Person 1: i do quite like living in Ware
P2: Where?
P1: Ware
P3: Where?
P1: WARE
P4: Where?
P1: WARE
P2: oh WARE.

And we laughed every time Blush

How did I miss this first tine round!

We do quite a number already listed but ones I haven't seen:

When our cat called Nell walks into the room one of us will go 'Hey Nell, you're an allstar, get your game on'

And when driving and see Hidden Dip sign, go 'Oh Taramasalata' or Blind Summit sign, I always say 'it's like the G8 you know but for blind people'. A joke I once told some Americans we were driving with when they asked what it meant and they believed me 😃

PicardsCombOver · 08/01/2017 05:53

Every time I use a lift (disabled, so fairly frequently) I have to say '21st floor: menswear' like Jim Carrey. Blush

MrsGideon · 04/01/2017 16:57

Late to the party, but my mum is a counsellor and every time she goes to supervision, I can't help but sing "ch-chucklevision" under my breath

dodobedoop · 03/01/2017 14:26

DD and I do see ya, don't wanna be ya!!
Also the stop, hammer time.
Lots more too, hello fellow crazy peeps!!

ShowMePotatoSalad · 09/12/2016 19:17

When you say the word "banana" in front of my granny she always sings "yes we have no bananas, we have no bananas today".

Quite, quite potty.

She also says "Elvis the Pelvis, rock and roll Presley" at any mention of Elvis.

Giggorata · 14/10/2016 06:29

I do far too many of these... and (am I really going to admit this?) not only sing the Big Bang Theory song, but have also made up actions Blush
We always used to do the Skye Boat song on the ferry and take the high road when driving to Scotland.
I also have "make it so", which also pops out at work, non trekkers always look at me funny... and we use "he's dead, Dave. They're all dead, Dave." when someone isn't getting the message. Loads more SF stuff...oh dear.
Anyone who begins a sentence with "I woke up this morning" gets given a blues guitar riff...

TrionicLettuce · 29/08/2016 17:08

We can't get through parking in a multi level car park without starting to sing .

Any mention of ice cream and I have to do the little ice-cream-parlour-in-heaven "I'm sorry, we're out of vanilla..." from American Dad.

We've got whippets and frequently sing songs about their exploits to the tune of "Pretty Women" from Sweeney Todd. "Silly whippets, chasing rabbits...." Grin

alldaysleeper · 29/08/2016 16:47

Lots we use pinched from the Joan Hickson Miss Marples. When we meet someone Welsh "such clever people" being offered more to drink "how shall I face the vicar at lunch" and when talking to a friend will drop in "you never know with men" and then enigmatically say nothing a la Miss Barton in The Moving Finger.

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 29/08/2016 13:03

Ha yes to 'I'm old/I'm cold' a la joey tribiani!

I don't do hammertime, I do 'right now thank you very much, I need somebody with a human touch...........and so on, usually the whole rest of the chorus complete with dance actions. My 5yr old DD is particularly unimpressed with this as she is the most regular audience for it!

So many more, nearly all involving spontaneous breaking into song lyrics! Love this thread!

onemorecupofcoffeefortheroad · 29/08/2016 09:27

Whenever I leave work in the evening as I turn everything off in my office ready to go home I sing the words "I'm going home, I've done my time" the first line from the 70s song "tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree"

WantToRunAgain · 29/08/2016 09:16

Brilliant thread!

The Spitting Image song was "I've never met a nice WHITE South African" which makes a lot more sense given the political context of the time.

Hot baths in our house are monkey baths due to the sound you make when you get in Grin.

Whenever Ben Ando is on BBC news, I say "Can you hear the drums, Ben Ando?" in my little head. Like a twat.

alldaysleeper · 28/08/2016 21:49

Too, too many
We always do Clay Davis "shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit"
Joey - "long pause" Chandler - "mother kisser" "I'm tired" is always met with the full version of the song from "Blazing Saddles" When well fed and offered more food it's "Baby 15 Schnitzengrubers are my limit". Obvious one is the Airplane line when asked how I want my coffee.
DH goes very theatrical and becomes a resting thespian occasionally and reminisces about treading the boards with Larry when someone becomes overly dramatic.
Just realised there are hundreds of these Grin

CallousAndStrange · 27/08/2016 21:16

Ah Piggy with me it's "it could be bunnies!"

Also whenever I'm cleaning my teeth I have Gilbert and Sullivan's 'Modern Major General' in my head. The rhythm of it just goes with the scrubbing. I don't like Gilbert and Sullivan, I'm not sure where I first heard it but it's been happening since I was a child like some kind of autoplay activated by my toothbrush

Piggybuttons · 25/08/2016 16:29

If anyone says I have a theory I am dying to answer it with "it could be demons, dancing demons" a la the Buffy musical

TheBeaconsAreLit · 24/08/2016 13:51

If DP and I are listening to someone's conversation/doing something we shouldn't be/generally hanging around waiting for something and looking suspicious we announce that we're "just checking the walls" a la Basil Fawlty, with air-hammering gestures.
My sister and I can't read or hear the word oyster without shrieking "Oysters! Oysters!" like the creepy walrus from Alice in Wonderland. It gets particularly tedious if we're in London using the underground a lot.
And my really annoying one is to chirpily tell people to "have fun!" if they say they're going to the toilet, to a meeting, or anywhere that really, really isn't going to be fun. I'm trying to stop.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 24/08/2016 11:27

We do a lot of singing too.

My worst habit though is if anybody declines sugar in their tea or coffee, I'll happily trill "You're sweet enough already". Friends and family, fine, boss's boss in an important meeting, not so much...
