I recently bought some bird food that is "insect and pepper flakes"
Which is great fun to the tune of "Incense and Peppermints"

xp Wuhan has been a weird constant in my life for a decade now - first I got married there, then my sister-in-law moved there, now I organise students coming from there to the UK. So it's been in my head since 2010. Could be worse.

Also, my partner uses a "Kleen Kanteen" brand thermos for her coffee, and it has given rise to a number of songs as I wash the dishes, with Sheryl Crow's "Steve McQueen" most badly affected. REM's "Electrolite" (also mentioning McQueen) has also been invoked, along with the "clean machine" line from "Penny Lane."

When i was a kid, I thought Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar" was Ozzy's "Crazy Train".
Cos he sings Gravy Train but i thought it was Crazy Train
So now that's the way i hear it

local oyster n seafood joint's staff used to wear t-shirts that said Shrimply Irresistible. so basically the robert palmer song no longer even exists for us. we came up with some excellent lines for it, too, but i can't recall 'em right now.

xp - I had a similar issue with Stone Roses "I Wanna Be Adored" -- thinking it was a cover of Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" -- years later I still hear "adored" as "your dog"

FWIW I have been known to sing the Offspring "you gotta keep 'em sepaRATed" thing while separating eggs. Also helps with recycling.
A seam ripper (a sewing implement) is usually intoned to the tune of "Moon River." Seam ripper, wider than a mile etc.

That said, a friend of mine once worked in an office where someone who used the restroom in a spectacularly malodorous fashion, at about 12:00 every day. This person was stealthy and was never observed in the act. In fact, there was speculation that the person may not even have worked there, but rather was a worker on an adjacent construction site. He or she became known as "the noon shitter."
It became, as they say, A Thing.
Inevitably "noon shitter" became followed by "wider than a mile..."

and on the Sade topic -- a friend has a dog named Blade. Another friend and I thought it was funny to pronounce the dog's name "Bla-day" (to rhyme with Sade the singer) which spawned dog-themed lyrics to Sade's greatest hits: Smooth Pupperator, Sweetest Dog Food, etc.
