to think that someone of my class and stature should not be pottering around the house and going "bounce,bounce,bounce, bounce in the the motherfuckin' house'

Its literally the most offensive, immoveable ear worm ever.

It's like an illness.

Fgs, I'm 38 year old woman in a cardigan and wearing Crics and I'm singing this watering the house plants.

SOMEONE FUCKING STOP ME!!!!!!!!

I can't stand Iggy Azalea Confused

In the olden days we called the unicorn song "happy hardcore" that has to be the worst kind if music..

I know I can't stand her now.

I'm grateful to the thread for Space Unicorns though.

oh yes, to small world.
there is a reason it always has the shortest queue...

Now I have Wind The Bobbin up. Angry

Today I have had already had no less than TWO earworms, first a ghastly weird ditty "Hooray For Harold Lloyd" with disturbing jazz hands to boot (I have no feckin idea why jazz hands either) and when I told DSis I had an appalling earworm, but wouldn't say what because I was BEING KIND, this is what I was given in return:

Wind it back again, wind it back again...

FlaviaAlbia · 24/04/2017 22:07

I love its a small world. I made DS and DH go on it with me about 5 times Grin

I'm otherwise pretty normal. Honest...

HoneyDragon · 24/04/2017 22:09

Last time I counted up I've done it 23 times.

I'm alternating lately between 'you're welcome' and 'shiny' from Moana. Sadly I only know one line of each so it gets monotonous.

ComedyofTerrors · 24/04/2017 22:18

I'll just leave this here....

Was that entirely necessary?

To think I was about to complain about being haunted by this courtesy of the Mercedes advert.

I want my No Diggity back

FlaviaAlbia · 24/04/2017 22:21

Wow, I am an amateurShock that's impressive Grin

PyongyangKipperbang · 24/04/2017 22:26

I havent slept in 48 hours thanks to "D"H's Maningitis (like Manflu but worse, looks like he might be upgrading to Manthrax at any moment....).

So I am not sure if this thread is real or I am suffering from sleep deprivation hallucinations.

Dont really care either way, its fun :)

Bunnyjo · 24/04/2017 22:28

I cannot abide Iggy Azalea and I can honestly say that I won't be bouncing in any motherfuckin' house any time soon. No chance of it becoming an earworm of mine... However, I refuse to listen to any pineapples or pens after that got stuck in my head for two motherfuckin' days!

SilverdaleGlen · 24/04/2017 22:30

Thanks for that I just playlisted it. Will help on my journey to an arse twerked into a size 8 by summer mission (only another 5 dress sizes to go) Grin

MangosAndPapayas · 24/04/2017 22:36

RedBugMug Thank you for the wonder of the pineapple pen.

I found it compulsive horror viewing. I could not tear my eyes away.

Can someone please explaint to me why gangnam style is a runaway hit but no one has heard of the pineapple pen man? They are bad. Compulsive viewing bad.

Has no one mentioned Crazy Frog>

HarryPottersMagicWand · 24/04/2017 22:37

Great. Obviously I clicked on the link upthread. I couldn't make it through the whole song. That was fucking SHITE! And I like rap. Also massively inappropriate to have kids in that video! Ok Missy Elliott did but it was the radio version and there weren't oddly shaped asses bouncing weirdly all over the place.

Thankfully Get Your Freak on has entered my head. Dumb ways to bloody die is desperately trying to overrule it though!

RestlessTraveller · 24/04/2017 22:37

I googled it. DF asks 'what's are you watching?' I reply "It's Iggy Azelea and a lot of lovely ladies shaking their bottoms". Cue eye rolls.

He's currently pottering around the kitchen muttering "bounce, bounce, bounce". I feel a download coming on.

RestlessTraveller · 24/04/2017 22:39

That would be Darling Fiancé, I wouldn't be pointing ladies bottoms out to my father!

SherlockPotter · 24/04/2017 22:40

Mo Bounce is amazing... I'm not ashamed to admit this either.

LBOCS2 · 24/04/2017 22:43

"Pen pineapple, Apple, pen"

I mostly have the song from Frozen Fever going around my head at the moment which is a shame as I prefer Moana.

HoneyDragon · 24/04/2017 22:46

In my defence the song got me before I'd seen the video. And the bottoms.

It does lend itself to pottering Confused

My ear worm shows my age:

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.
She's a lumberjack and she's OK
She sleeps all night and she works all day.

< Python, get out of my ear >

BlooBagoo · 24/04/2017 23:01

Well Iggy Azelea didn't do it for me but pen-pineapple-apple-pen is now stuck in my head.

For me the worst earworms that can last for days are The Clash's Rock the Kasbah and Patrick's "I Wrote This Song" from SpongeBob. All it takes for the last one is for me to hear the word "pointy" one time and that's me for days.

TheWoollybacksWife · 24/04/2017 23:09

Do not Google "Beep, Beep, I'm a Sheep" - every time I get rid of that irritating ear worm DS comes in singing it again. He taught his cousins it at the weekend so my SILs probably hate me now.
