maybe this is deliberate but I was cleaning out my oven the other day using a well known oven cleaner and immediately started singing 'That's what my heart yearns for now/Oven Priiiide'
haha, when I was a kid, I used to sing "thats what my stomach yearns for now/sauce on piiiieeee".
But then again I used to change the lyrics to everything, such as Echo and the Bunnymen's "put on a decent record" to the tune of "bring on the dancing horses"

Kind of the reverse of this scenario, but a thing that's been happening a lot lately is 1) I hear a two-syllable word or phrase, 2) I then sing '(two-syllable word/phrase), baby (two-syllable word/phrase)' to the tune of 'Love Shack'. Like I say, this is happening a lot. Maybe I should see a neurologist.

It's been almost nine years since this thread started, and the sight of a midget now always prompts "girlfriend in a coma" -- the other day it was "Midget with a Smoothie" (this was a different midget than the previous years' midget with a trashbag)

sarahell is in my brain, as this is pretty much me 900% of the time. I am an amateur collector of phrases that can be sung to the tune of "Girlfriend in a Coma."
When my children were babies it was "baby in a diaper I know, I know, it's serious."
Recent other examples:
Gerbil with a carrot I know, I know...
Penguin in the men's room...
Robot with a migraine...
Ninja with some hummus...

Often when I get myself some green tea, I'm getting it with Greensleeves playing in my head. It's best whenever it's the Leonard Cohen version.
And if I have anything with old cheese (slice, salad, whatever), it tends to go on Simon & Garfunkel's Old Friends. "Old cheese. Old cheese. Great on a toast made of fine wheats." or similar.
