I can't see the name Hayden Panettiere without thinking of the Beastie Boys:

Intergalactic, Panettiere, Panettiere, Intergalactic

I have to ask how often you see the name Hayden Panettiere!

Is that how you lot are pronouncing Pannettiere?

...eh you get the gist of it (dog latin), Thursday, 21 December 2023 10:39 (four months ago) link

dog latin: for the purposes of this thread, yes. In a representative democracy, we reach a consensus on how to mangle the pronunciation of furrin words, and abide by that decision. My country, right or wrong.

morrisp: according to my attorneys, I don't have to answer that.

Lately when I feed my cats I find myself singing "foooood for caaaaats" to the tune of the Squeeze song "Cool for Cats."

This is in addition to the longstanding mental association with the old Far Side CAT FUD cartoon.

But the two don't really work together. I don't sing "fuuuuud for caaats." It's definitely "foooood for caaaaats."

When I see the Belvita line of breakfast crackers/cookies I have to sing it (internally) as is done for "Candida" in the Tony Orlando song.

My place o' employment includes a Microbiology lab which tests for pathogens including candida albicans, so I'm well versed in Tony Orlando & Dawn running through my head.

Probably more for the misheard lyrics but
Kids - MGMT

I might have already said this one but whenever I see bacon in the supermarket it's PSB "How can you expect to be... bacon, seriously?"

If you were in middle school around the same time I was, maybe you will also hear this in a voice from a certain Miami bass song (track 3… IYKYK):
