Uh oh...I find myself sharing Ian's sentiments....
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Love "Men without hats" and the Safety Dance... it's safe to dance, it's safe to dance, it's the safety dance!

*wanders off humming*

DANCES!

As a public service I offer the worst ear worm ever. I recommend not listening:
Sleep with clean hands ...

Right ... I shall show my workings for this one.

There is an election on.

The Leader of Plaid Cymru is Adam Price,


Adam Price sounds like Alan Price

Alan Price was a singer in the 1960s


He sang with the Animals, and had a successful partnership with Georgie Fame.

In 1967 Alan Price reached #4 with "Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear".


The Muppets covered it in 1975- with Scooter singing and Fozzie as ... the bear.


So now ... because of this chain of thoughts ... whenever I hear a Welsh accent, I immediately start doing an impression of Kermit the Frog ... M'Lud.

FSN...the Jury is out...gone to the Pub...and probably won't be back till Easter!  ;D

As to The Safety Dance...THAT DAMN THING WORMS! I was just being drunken silly...but now I like it a lot...almost as much as:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNmnbOmWpgA   LOL!

In fact, I posted it on Facebook as my helpful contribution to voting. (No-one 'Liked' it  :( :( :( ).

Can't figure out why the last seconds of vid were of missiles? Back then We Knew we were likely to fry...and didn't give a s*** but suppose bands 'Had ' to make a statement.   =)    However, I didn't even get a 'like' from B****y Corbyn! Wonder Why?  ;D ;D ;D

It's his opening lyrical blast that is stuck in there. I commute 56km to work on a motorbike, there's a lot of strange things populating my mind each morning :-)

I prefer the 'studio' version.  ;)

Had me diving into the CD collection to check on the titles of a couple more of their tunes.....

"Sylvia" and "House of the King"........Really like those ! :)

Good news - no longer have "Senorita" running through my head.

Bad news ... I have this instead!

Sandinista thanks for that "it's a small world after all" truly an earworm as I haven't been able to get it out of my head. another disny tune a bit like "follow me boys " which nearly became the song for the Boy Scouts of America another ear worm

I like that Rag n'Bone Man track. Very punchy. Was about to say "I'm sure I've heard it before" then checked and found out it's a year old and therefore will have floated through my subconscious many times :D
