inexplicably, for a few weeks off and on i've had the saw-the-video-once Limp Bizkit comeback failure "Gold Cobra" stuck in my head, except the chorus is

Golan and Globus they're golden,
They're golden, so golden, y'all
Golan-Globus

In a local grocery this weekend I spotted some large yellow courgettes, with a the name written on a tag in front of them. I must have looked at the tag for a split second.. Cue my brain singing 'large yellow courgettes' to the tune of Raspberry Beret at me for 3 days straight.

I was visiting our local water park a few weeks ago when I spotted an older guy with a Psychopathic Records Hatchet Man tattoo. Wouldn't you know it, Bob Marley was playing over their sound system at the time. Since then, I've had

Every time I see a package of “Baby Arugula” in the grocery store I get Raffi’s “Baby Beluga” stuck in my head. Am I doing this right?

Various things get sandwiched into Hall & Oates' Maneater these days:

eh, meant to underline cruise missile there to showcase the interchangeable parts.

Occasionally I have to teach people how to use an espresso machine, and one crucial step is telling them to "purge the group head" which I always think to the melody "hang the DJ hang the DJ hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ hang the DJ hang the DJ" but I never sing it out, I just get a faraway look for a moment while it happens.
