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....

Whenever we play Settlers of Catan I always sing "hold back the river". It was playing when I first learnt so now its associated itself with the game.

Whenever anyone says at work or at home "question", I always since "tell me what you think about me" a la Beyonce

If someone rattles off a list of stuff, or if I am, I always end it with "and a partridge in a pear treeeeeee"

These are all brilliant. We do a lot of these.
At night if I ask DH to turn off the light he will sing 'follow me, follow me, follow me down down down' a la nelly furtado.

STDG, heavy plant crossings are always "look out for the ents" for us but liking your variation!

I do the big bang thing with 'Bang'
Have to clap with friends theme tune
Thanks to the chicken Madras advert i sing that to my DH when we have curry.
Also my DH and i have a noise our nose makes which we do frequently.

This will sound weird but when there is an instrumental theme tune on TV (eg Coronation Street) I sing the title along to the tune (Co-o-ro nation street). Drives my kids mad

We have so many of these, as a family, and I've never questioned that it's anything other than completely normal.....up til this thread and now I think we may be a bit batshit.

Driving along the motorway/any road and seeing a boat on a trailer, we have to declare "oh, that was a high tide"

Seeing a lorry or tractor full of hay, you have to shout as loudly as possible "HAY!"

When the driver of the car says to the passenger "am I clear left?" (If the junction is difficult to see) the passenger must (after giving the all clear) say "call me a liar, except for that bus"

I don't even know what that last one means. But I say it.

Oh and if I ever meet someone called Kimberley, I have to make a concerted effort to not say "my friend Kimberley" a last Victoria Wood.

If someone says "...he's in denial" I always say (and laugh because Jr genuinely makes me giggle" "no he's not, he's in de Mersey"

Ffs fat fingers - a la Victoria Wood

And Jr = it

Aaaaand another....when driving in Wales, every time I see the word ARAF I have to shout/growl "ARAF!!"

I think I'm actually a bit mad.

When a travelling fair comes to town I have to sing Rusholme Ruffians to myself everytime I walk past. When I spot my cats eating grass in the back garden I sing "I see you [cats name] eating that grass, eating that grass, eating that grass..." And later when inevitably the grass comes back up. It works equally well as "puking that grass..." All to the tune of the groove armada track. Its called poppropriation as named by Adam & Joe.

I bought an aloe vera plant for my downstairs bog. I tried to insist that everyone had to give it a cheery wave and say "'Allo Vera" every time they went in there - dh and I have northern English accents so therefore in a Peter Kay stylee. Dh did it once to humour me and then threatened to avail himself of one of Vera's leaves every time he had a post curry moment . The dc's decided I was mad and just refused point blank to do it.. I'd like to say that Vera and I moved out and left them to their sad, humourless existence but unfortunately it was too cold in there for poor Vera who is now no longer with us

Passing, looking at, or eating eclairs always gets
Is that an eclair or a meringue?

No you're right it's an eclair.

From me. Cue eye roll from the children. They've had years of that.
Also Mummeeee, I'm thirsty. Oh right, I'm Friday.

Or a list of three things such as maybe apples and pears and plums get Oh My added a la wizard of oz lions and tigers and bears.

whenever anyone gets stuck somewhere (cardigan caught on a nail, toddler wedged between furniture, etc...) we all sigh and recite, "oh no! you'll have to stay there forever... get married there... have your babies there..."

YY to 'Kimburrly', also, 'can you see it on the trolley?' And 'two soups'. Anyone with a younger DP has 'cashback!' A'la Alan Partridge. God forbid if your name is Dan..

And we do ALL the song things, all of them. DH plays air drums (he drums in RL), never caught him missing an air high hat yet. If he's in a mood he gets the Reeves and Mortimer invisible handbag 'ooooh'. And I sing the milkshake song to embarrass the DCs enough to get them out the kitchen, or My Humps. Either works.

Dp and I have a Blackadder 'is that a so and so?'
'That it be'
'Yes it is!'

Also When replenishing stock on the shelves where I work many products bring on an involuntary earworm.
Thus Villa Maria wine starts- 'so write a letter Maria, address it to my wife....'
Tropicana fruit juice- club tropicana, drinks are freeeeeee.

Petit Filou yoghurts cannot be served in our house without the accompanying sung soundtrack of "Petit Filou, is it you?" à la Marc Bolan.

When the sat nav says "Bear Right" I have to respond with "Moose Left" (I think that was John Cleese).

Yes to Lady Bracknell and the handbag, Flash Gordon Saviour of the Universe, and a very camp "I'm Free".

I think I may have found my spiritual home on this thread

My son also answers questions with "That it be" prompting a "Yes it is!"

One small parenting success.

And when I tell my daughter something she shouldn't repeat she's told "Manuel" i.e. "You know nothing"

SDTG I have ALWAYS been your people.

Every time we give DD tinned peaches we have this conversation:
DH: Where do peaches come from?
Me: A can, they were put there by a man.
Him: Where is this man?
Me: In a factory downtown.
Both together: If I had my way I'd eat peaches every day
And so on...
We also sing "Gruffalo pyjamas" to the tune of "Buffalo Soldier" when DD is getting ready for bed.
DD thinks we are both completely bonkers!

If we've run a bath that's too hot we say it's a bit "Princess Margaret" in reference to the time she scalded her feet in a hot bath.

Oh oh oh!

Upon seeing mange tout on the shelf, or adding it to my cooking, I must always say "mange tout, Rodney. Mange tout" a la Del Boy.

I've never heard the"bear left/moose right" one before. I've laughed way too loud and scared the dog!

Oh yes, and if anyone drops a pea I have to say it's an escapea!

Helping DCs get dressed was always 'put your hands in the air ...like you just don't care'
Its cold outside ...and the paints peeling off of my walls (Gary Numan)
And two that come from 'jokes' two different people I knew used to tell...which I wish I'd never shared with my DCs ...
One is if it is 10 to 10 (time) - is met with 'its cowboy time 10 to10,10,10, 10 10 to 10 10 10 etc (lone ranger theme) - I have to stop myself saying it - say is nearly 10 oclock etc to avoid it (but it goes through my head instead)

And do you want to save that for Ron? - Later on - ha ha ha
Aghhhhhhhh...
