Used to have a white cat and always sang "It's a nice day for a white kitten". I lost the cat and now whenever I hear the words "White Wedding" I think of him and miss him.

haha, when I was a kid, I used to sing "thats what my stomach yearns for now/sauce on piiiieeee".

The Winston Wolf/Harvey Keitel Direct Line advert where the guy has a bathroom leak that he's tried and failed to fix.

Keitel: "So, you've got an uncontrollable leak?"
Me: "I've got an uncontrollable leak

I've got an uncontrollable
It's got style, it's got class
So strong, I can't let it pass
I gotta tell you all about it
I gotta scream and shout it"

Me: "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah"
