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

[HoneyDragon]

Sing the end bit of International Playboys. Can't help myself, it just comes out.

Go on then people. Out irrational odd habit that one....

Oh Waterloo station has to bring on 'Waterloo Sunset' Shirley.

I used to sing 'this is Metanium' instead of 'this is insania', by The Orange One

What have you been singing poff ?

I salute single magpies, without fail, no matter who else is there. I also mutter morning captain, how's your wife? If I didn't do this, the world would end.

Another cat here that gets Circle of Lifed (held aloft while ds sings Naa Savenyaa!) before he's allowed to sit on ds's lap. Every time.

Rather than asking if the other would like one or two slices of toast, we offer 'toast and toast'. This leads to a rendition of 'Let's get toast...toast and toast. Toaster than you ever can imagine, toast...' to the tune of Rosie Gaines' Closer Than Close.

In joke with my dad If Anyone is talking about ducks we have do a wee ducking motion (sort of Bob my head down)
It's s bit embarrassing when I do it and folk do t know the "joke"
Bloody hilarious when done with likeminded people though!
Dad: was out for tea last night had duck* to start

• both Bob head down then start laughing get some faces from the uninitiated!

The Sausages dog was in That's Life. It also said "Gladys." It's the beat clip on YouTube by a mile.

I think I've been singing "Waterloo! How did it feel when you won the war?" I knew it wasn't right but couldn't work what it actually was.

Love this thread.

If I'm directing DH and 'to the left' is mentioned I always follow up with 'everything you own in the box to the left.'

Also glad it's not just me who sings Donald where's me trousers... (For ages I thought i'd actually made that song up until I randomly heard it at the end of an episode of Come Dine With Me).

I make up words to instrumental theme tunes for example EastEnders = "every-one is going to die, die die die die die, in horrible waa-aays"

When asked the time I always say 'time you got a watch', however inappropriate the circumstance

If I ever mention that something comes in a two-pack, my DH has to sing Changes by 2pac. He also does the Question/destiny's child thing mentioned upthread.

I am crying at 'toaster than toast'. Brilliant.

'To the left' however is followed by 'to the right. Step it up step it up ors alllright'.

Eddie Izzard fans will know this one.

It is essential, upon offering guests a piece of cake, to ask
...

"Cake? Or death?"

Similarly, should you be gifted a bunch of flowers, one MUST declare....

"Bunch of flowers!"

Anybody called Brian is automatically "a very naughty boy" (Monty Python)

"Whenever Law and Order or Law and Order:SVU start, I have to recite the "In New York City......" bit, in a deep, fake American accent. All the family roll their eyes at me." I watch these buy dd doesn't but if she's passing through the living room she will quote the entire intro if it's on! How does she know when she doesn't watch it?

Just remembered back in the day when we used to play cards in the family, if someone said 'hit me' we'd all reply 'with your rhythm stick'

Also if someone said 'call me' someone would respond 'no need to hesitate, we just communicate'

Weird family!

I ordered a jumper from Tesco for Christmas Jumper Day. It was dispatched but I didn't receive notification of delivery. So I forwarded the order notification to their customer services team, no message, just a link to Sultans of Ping on YouTube

I thought the Duty Penguins were all at the South Pole. North Pole would be Duty Elf Bear.

When I approach automatic doors I have to "open" then with a grand commanding gesture, while saying (or at best whispering) SHAZAM. I then sweep through, confident that my magical powers are intact.

They obey my imperious will every time, you know.

No way Athelstane? What about when you began: "ONE batty bat, ah ah ah, TWOOO batty bat..."

If anyone in a costume drama mentions a manservant we always demand they get it out on the table so we can take a look at it. And from the same legendary Blackadder episode we derive the only possible pronunciation of "Bob".

PMSL at all these poor cats being held up like baby Simba :o

I do so many of these - and DS2 is similarly afflicted. He does the 'tell me what you think about me' thing whenever he hears the word 'question'

If I hear anyone shouting 'Hey you!' I have to follow it with 'the rock steady crew.'

If anyone says 'just say no' I break into the Grange Hill anti-drugs song, to which I inexplicably know all the words

'Stop!' Has to be followed by Hammertime. I thought it was the law.

Ds1 voices one of our dogs brilliantly, and monologues him all the time.

If I fart, even on my own in the car, I have to say 'pardon'. It's like a reflex. But I've been doing it so long, I don't say the full word, I just do a kind of 'menem' noise under my breath. I feel wrong if I don't.

If I hear the word 'phenomenon' I have to follow it with 'do do do do do' like the Muppets song.

If I'm cooking on my own I sometimes pretend I've got my own cooking programme and talk to the camera as I go along. I'm 42.

There are more. Soooo many more.

Another one!

If I'm in a lift with the dses, one of us says 'tableau!' And we create a dramatic pose so that when the lift doors open whoever is waiting for the lift is treated to a mini theatrical moment when the doors slide open.

The challenge is for all three of us to have the balls to hold the pose when the doors open.

They are 16 and 18

And of course, singing along to the One Show.

The whole house joins in.

"Ooone! Oooone! Ooone!" Etc

Whenever anyone says 'I forgot about that' or any variant of, my DP HAS to say 'you'll be forgetting about Dre next'

Any minor injury, "I'm afraid we will have to amputate."

Many many random song lyrics and singing that have already been covered.

Last night I asked dh if I scared or confused him. He said no. So I roared in his face and crossed my eyes, "and now?"

"And now?" Gets used a lot by me. Poor poor dh.

Singing random things I'm doing to the tune of Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Along the lines of:-

"Who knows where some plonker has left my blue jeans?
Sponge Bob Square Pants!
Annoying and thoughtless and jeansless are me!
Sponge Bob Square Pants!
If trouserless nonsense is something you wish
Sponge Bob Square Pants
Then hide all my jeans and replace them with fish!"

Dd sings the Sponge Bob Square Pants line for me.

It can go on for hours as I wander around the house.

And me, if anyone mentions vanity I have to say 'she/he probably thinks this song is about her/him'

And another - singing 'Ice ice baby' is a absolutely necessary when either providing ice cubes or skiing over icy patches
