When I'm filling the bath for DS2, I always sing How Deep is Your Love Bath.

Hugo, me too.
Dancing at the disco, bumper to bumper
Wait a minute.......

WHERE'S ME JUMPER?

YY to most of these especially having both the key and the secret and hammertime following stop.
However, any mention of hammertime tends to elicit a distasteful Peter Sutcliffe reference from DH so I tend to use collaborate and listen instead.

I am incapable of saying the word handbag without it coming out all Importance of being Ernest.

In my more rational moments, I always say "home again, home again,"

My mother used to say that as she turned the corner into her street and now I do as well. I always swore I'd never turn into her but it looks like I don't have a choice.

UterusUterusGhali · 26/04/2016 20:44

If we're having Nachoes, I always sing "Nacho, nacho man. I wanna be a nacho man" like Homer Simpson.

I used to sing "changes" by David Bowie when changing nappies.

Whenever DP or I mention our communal cash wallet we have to call it kitty kitty kitty.

Charley50 · 26/04/2016 20:38

Oh and I had a colleague called Arlene, every time someone said her name I would sing 'Jolene Jolene Jolene Jo-leeeen' cuz it sounded slightly similar.

OnTique · 26/04/2016 20:38

Dh's aloe vera/ 'allo Vera comment has been wheeled out so many times we barely even notice it now.

Ditto his Billy Joel impression if anyone happens to utter the words 'in the middle of the night'. I say Billy Joel..it's more Vic Reeves pub-singer really.

Charley50 · 26/04/2016 20:34

When I cook pasta I always say the imaginary book title; how to cook pasta, by Al Dente.

WanderingTrolley1 · 26/04/2016 20:33

My daughter's favourite colour is purple.

For the past few months, whenever she points out a purple item, we've being singing it back a la Prince's Purple Rain :(

flannelwash · 26/04/2016 20:33

When my Dh drops his trousers I do a fake scream, I think it originated from "The santa clause"

I may also sing "the circle of life" to my cat whilst holding him up like simba Blush

I quote daddy pig everytime I look at instructions "It's no good...it's nonsense"

As well as everything mentioned upthread

When someone says up i automatically say down and visa versa.
It annoyes the crap out of me but i still do it. Every.single. time. Angry

elspethmcgillicuddy · 26/04/2016 20:23

Not a song but I'm a HCP and when calling people through to my room I have to restrain myself from saying "Mary Smith... Come On Dowwwwn!" In the style of The Price is Right and similar gameshows

CocktailQueen · 26/04/2016 20:19

DH and I do 'don't call me Shirley' too. Also random quotes from Airplane if anyone says 'What's that?' 'It's a big building with patients - but don't worry about that now.'

Also: We have clearance, Clarence.
Roger, Roger.
What's our vector, Victor?

my DS has a knack for singing the right Queen lyric at the right time. Mostly its funny but sometimes I wish he would stop.

He walked into a lamp post and I couldn't help it 'another one bites the dust' Grin

mostly I just use Ghostbusters lines at the wrong times :p

Baconyum · 26/04/2016 20:10

Aww salsa that was my little gang at uni's song

justdontevenfuckingstart · 26/04/2016 20:10

Every time The Goonies is on I will text my sister to say 'Boodie trap' and she texts back 'That's what I said!' and if DD2 mentions nachos, usually in Sainsbury I go 'Nachooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' and then she walks off.

SoupDragon · 26/04/2016 20:09

the end bit of International Playboys.

I have no idea what that is.

OpenMindedSceptic · 26/04/2016 20:08

When ever I say to DH that we are having quiche for lunch he starts singing:
'All that I'm saying is give quiche a chance.'

salsamad · 26/04/2016 20:05

Every time we're on holiday in a hotel and we leave the room - I will ask DH "You got the key" and he sings back "I've got the secret......" Every single time!! Grin

ApologiesToInsectLife · 26/04/2016 20:04

'HEY YOU GUUUUYYYS' I did that the other day to the dc and they just stared blankly at me.
