When I get in the bath and it's a bit hot I always

If anyone ever says it's cold outside I always sing 'there's no kind of atmosphere' the depressing thing is when people don't get the reference

On the way to work with DH we always drive past a house called "Asbrook", the first time I saw the sign I thought it said Assbrook. It actually really bugs me that it only has one 'S'.

So now every time we drive past it I have to loudly correct the sign by saying "ARSE brook" to DH.

Love this thread.
When someone says "hello" I HAVE to sing "it's me" in the style of Adele

Aah. This thread makes me feel a bit better. I have a constant soundtrack in my head (and sometimes out loud if I think no-one outside the family can hear or if I forget where I am)- this is made up of song lyrics/film quotes/misquotes. It's entirely involuntary and mainly cheesy rubbish (so no risk of being mistaken for an eccentric arty type). Frequent occurrences are 'where's me jumper' for misplaced knitwear (so glad I am not the only one as this is a daily event with my children), I've got the key (and the secret) as we leave the house, ' Get out of my dreams (and in to my car) as we set off on the school run/to the shops etc, 'In Cars' if DH and I leave at the same time in our vehicles, 'Convoy' (complete with imaginary air horn pulling) if we are in a traffic jam with more than one truck, 'Give peas a chance' whenever I serve peas, 'Hands up, baby hands up (give me your heart etc)' when putting a jumper on a small child, 'Build me up buttercup' whenever I hear anyone say 'why do you', 'Don't, don't you want [insert name of thing]' if anyone says no to something I offer (eg a biscuit etc). If anyone asks where I'm from (as my accent is clearly not from where I live) I fight the urge to quote Casablance 'I'm a drunkard, that makes me a citizen of the world'- because anyone who gets it will think I'ma pretentious twat and anyone else will assume I'm confessing to a drink problem.

I fear that my DC are starting to do the same, and probably have no idea that this is a bit odd.

If someone mentions DNA I sing the suzanne vega/DNA thing -duh duh duhduh....

Maybe tomorrow has to be finished with "I'll wanna settle down" in the style of the littlest hobo.

yy to the Red Dwarf "it's cold outside"..

When I see roadside signs advertising sheep trials, I always have to say "Guilty".....every single time!

Also, Stop...... Hammer time

And most bizarrely if someone mentions doing something with their "bare hands" I always say/think/mutter "......and your tiger feet"

Oh and in my family... if there bad weather, one of us will say 'I'm off to brave the elements'
Then the other will say 'elephants? Where?' We so funny!

Also, if there is a royal wedding or some kind of Royal based event, my mother and I will share the following exchange in very fake Received Pronunciation...
'Nobody puts on a show of pageantry like the British!'
'Do you know, I think foreigners are a little bit jealous of our Royal family'

Which is a running joke from a book we both read years ago. It's so old, the original reference was to Prince Andrew marrying Sarah Ferguson...

I sing the 'how deep is your bath' one when filling the bath too.

Raptor, I love that! Grr!

Justmuddlingalong - I cheer the train off too, except I don't do a subtle choo choo, I say 'Wheeee!' Like sheldon.

I'm planning a big train based holiday next year. I don't know how I'm going to cope!

My husband always burps 'ralph' and sneezes 'mouse attack'. Wierdo!
I have to say 'home again home again jiggedy jig' as i pull into the driveway. bit more normal!

Dh and I both sing a lot. Saturdays on the way to parkrun always requires us to sing Parklife, the Flash song is wheeled out at any opportunity, and taking clothes off requires 'Get your socks off, get your socks off baby'. Fortunatly ds likes this and now will start singing off himself

I love this thread! Makes me feel less weird now

Bare left - omg is there???
Stop - hammer time
Surely you cant - yes I can, and don't call me Shirley
Can I... - kick it, yes you can!
And loads more that escape me at the mo, ill quote films a lot and reply in song lyric most of the time. I do DD1's head in and she's only 8

Ooh the Jolene post...does anyone sing the song when they see the Joleen hair bleach in Boots...?

I have to, I can't stop myself.

We have an old peoples home here in the village called Eben-ezer.

When I see the sign I start singing " E's are good, E's are good, he's Ebeneezer Good".

I make up a lot of my own advertisement jingles too

Also when my DS says "I'm bored" I keep repeating "GAME BORED" from the IT crowd .

If we go anywhere with the Sat Nav, whenever it says "Bear left" I always make paws and go "Grrr"

I've just realised that I say 'shower time' MC hammer stylee to my sons... I hadn't really noticed before I read this thread

Whenever I saw those "Free Nelson Mandela" stickers in cars and the like, my brain always filled in "..with 5 tokens from the back of your cereal pack!"

Dd found a random banana on a shelf in Aldi and did the minion song in the middle of the aisle! She is 13!

When the DC were little and we had to take Tshirts off them they were always instructed to wave their hands in the air like they don't care. On returning home from a trip out I would regularly serenade them with the Supremes classic "Baby, baby, where did your socks go? Did you leave them on Sainsburys floor?"

On a baby name thread there was a woman who used to work with someone actually called Jolene. Apparently the entire team were having some kind of breakdown due to the daily effort of not singing it.

Great thread!

Oh and with singing me and dh have to sing when anyone says have you got the key or I've got the key the reply has to be 'ive fot the secret'

Whenever ds1 asks for cheesecake I have to respond "Cheese? Cake? You dirty bastard" in a northern accident.

Lol love these and the fact we are all mad as a box of frogs. Mine (for some reason) when asked If I'm free in work or anywhere. .Is to respond delightfully camp in my hightest pitched "I'm Free" with a little wiggle to boot. Just can't help myself. Lol Also I see you baby shaking that ass we changed it to nappy lol bonkers but happy

Whenever I change a nappy (which is frequently) and we get to the bit when I clasp ankles and lift to slide new nappy under, I sing 'waaaaaave yooooooour botty in the air like you just don't care'.

DSs now automatically sing it too, and DD gives a gummy smile as three gurning faces loom down & serenade her
