Mee-ew, mee-ew, mew mee-ew
Mee-ew, mee-ew, mee-ee-ew mee-ew!

LOL, now get *that* one out of your head!!! ;



I don't know the tune "Speedo," but I keep hearing the jingle to the
meow mix commercial instead.

Pam S. Help, I'm listening and it won't shut up!

DIL (me)!


Unless anyone beats your MIL, WE HAVE A WINNER!!


Not me, I'm only seven years older than Rob.

Thank goodness, I don't know the tune for "Speedo" either. On the other
hand, the tune of "The Atchison, Topeka, and the SantaFe" has been pestering
me ever since seeing 5 minutes of "Meet Me in St. Louis" a few nights
ago"......Lorna

"CatNipped" had some very interesting things
to say about Ear Worm:

Me four! Sorry CN, it didn't work on any of us.
For those of you who are puzzled about the term "ear worm." You know
when you hear a song and can't stop it from going round in your head, and even
humming and singing it for ages? There is not a word in English to describe
this, but there is in German, my friend N told me it translates into
English as "ear worm." I think it's perfect to describe the way it wriggles into
your ear and won't go away. I have adopted it permanently as part of my
language. English was definitely missing a word to describe this
phenomenom. OMG, Kylie Minogue "I can't get you out of my head" That
was an ear worm for me.
That's exactly where I got it from, I remember you writing about that the
last time we were talking about songs you couldn't get out of your head. I
too thought it was a perfect term to describe the phenomenon.

I use the term myself, and DH seems to understand it.

Howard Berkowitz had some very interesting things
to say about Ear Worm:

I'm just amazed that with all the music aficionados here on the group
that nobody remembers "Speedo" - it was a *very* popular song here in the
states and it is very often replayed on "Oldies" stations. I was only 5 in
1956, but I had two older brothers who were very fond of "The Cadillacs", which
is probably why I can remember it so well. Ah well.
M'gawd -- I was 8 at the time.

My mother was 4. :-)

LOL, actually I'm called "MaMere" by my grandbabies (all little coon@$$es -
that's "cajun" to you non-coon@$$es!). It's actually French for "My
Mother", but since my children talk about me to *their* children as "my
mother", the grandkids just picked up on "MaMere".
