Damian Grammaticas ... is just passing by

[TeenMinusTests]

Is it just us who whenever Damian Gammaticas comes on the BBC that sings 'is just passing by' in the style of Court of King Caractacus?

Any other unusual songs in your house?

Ours is "Petie Filou, ...is it you.. woo hoo woo"

Every time we have jelly for dessert, I bring it to the table doing my Beyonce walk and singing "I don't think you're ready for this jelly".

When the kids say they had a dream I always sing 'Last night I had the strangest dream. I sailed away to China, in a little row boat to find ya, and you said you had to get the laundry clean.' It drives them nuts.

I might have to have jelly tomorrow now

Do-do-do-do do-do do-do its shower time!

Feeding the moggies in the morning, to the tune of Blockbuster The Sweet, we sing " does anyone know the way? There's GOT to be a way to cat breakfast! "

@AdaFuckingShelby Sometimes I start by asking "DH, can you handle this? DS, can you handle this?" etc.

They don't find it funny, I should add.

We also do "The Heating's On" and "I've Got The Key" 😂

Many misquoted song lyrics in this house are entirely down to the great Terry Wogan.

Just remembered another one.

Mash! Aha... Saviour of the universe...

If the kids get a little sassy and answer back etc I always sing:

'don't push me coz I'm close to edge, I'm trying not to lose my head, a ha ha ha, it makes me wonder sometimes how I keep from going under' (the message grandmaster flash).

Really fucks them off. 😁

What time is it?

Showtime!

If anyone ever says '3' in answer to a question they always get 'is the magic number' from me.

This behaviour is funniest when met by stoney silence and maybe an eye roll from your nearest and dearest.

Why do it otherwise?!

And when Steve McManaman was playing football I would always sing the muppets.

McManaman doo doo do doo doo

OMG I’m stealing that starting tomorrow

I loved The Sweet

I like this, but Mash is always sung like 'Shaft!' In this house.

Mash!

Whenever we have malt loaf my husband sings soreen soreen soreen
soreeeeee-e-een in the style of Joleen.
We have loads more but I can't remember any right now, its been a long day.

If someone comes in at work and says “it’s cold outside” I sing in reply “there’s no kind of atmosphere!”

I like a cup of Lapsang Suchong tea in the evening.
This always results in someone singing "LAPSANG SUCHONG DANANANANANAAA" to the tune of Plastic Bertrand "ca plane pour moi".

Also there's a rap we do instead of listening to the covid press conference when it's on the radio.

@PuppyMonkey

Whenever someone - on telly or in RL, says: “Where do we go from here?”

We always sing: “Is it down to the lake I fear.”

Yep!

Aye aye aye aye aye yah. Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye yah...

And so it goes one (in our house)

I've got the key, I've got the secret too!

Also whenever anyone says maybe tomorrow, I sing "I'll want to settle down."

My kids used to love going shopping with me when I belt out the "wooooohhhhhhh bodyform, bodyform for you" whenever I needed to buy them.

Also it's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere too.

My boyfriend does the down to lake I fear. I didn't know so had to look it up. I think we might talk mostly in song lyrics and film/tv quotes. But he knows far more than me so I'm always having to google.

I couldn't think of any, but I'm sure we do this. Anyway remembered one. We have a cat who will plonk herself down inconveniently and refuse to move.

On my approach I will usually sing "kitty move your butt, butt, butt, I think I'll sing it again"

When TV weatherman Nick Miller's name is announced, I always follow it with
"No! I will not let you you. Let me go! Will not let you go..." etc.

I don't know most of the songs you're all mentioning, but we also do:
