take out the papers and the trash

"Yakkity Yak" just came on the radio. I am reminded of what a complete and utter fuckermother Neil Gaiman is for pointing out, in Neverwhere, that you can combine its melody with the lyrics to "Greensleeves."

Now every time I hear it, it sticks in my head for days.

Should we ever meet, I will kick Mr Gaiman in the ankle. Really hard.

I guess it's rather like the song from Disney's Attraction That Dares Not Speak Its Name.

I'd hobble after you with my shins in pain, belting Gilligan's Grace at the top of my lungs....

And 'House of the Rising Sun' and most of the works of Emily Dickinson.

Huh! I'd always heard "Yellow Rose of Texas" for her work. Hm.

:hums:

Yup - both work. More earworms for me!

Well, I never!

...have been so glad I don't know the words to Greensleeves in my life.

A local singer/songwriter, Michael Phoenix, sings "Jabberwocky" to the tune of "Greensleeves". Scans quite well.

Heh, heh, heh. Serves you right.

The Amazing Grace/Gilligan's Island turnabout cracks me up.

The Amazing Grace/Gilligan's Island turnabout cracks me up.

I used it once as an audition piece, a cappella.

Got called back, too.
