La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
What's the name of that song?
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
What's the name of that song?
It goes la-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
Something something birds.
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-dee,
I wish I remembered the words.
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
What's the name of that song?
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
I'd like to sing right along!
I've heard it said,
With words and music
A fellow can't go wrong.
So la-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
What's the name of that song?
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
What's the name of that song?
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
We need the name of that song!
It goes la-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
Something, something nice.
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-dee,
I think it repeats itself twice!
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
What's the name of that song?
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-dee,
I know the name of that song!
It's called--now wait,
I think I got it!
Oh, no--I must be wrong--
So la-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum,
What's the name of that song?
(Honkers) Honk-ee-honk-ee-honk, honk-ee-honk-ee-honk
(Oscar-annoyed) What's the name of that song?
(All) La-de-da-de-dum, La-de-da-de
(Oscar) They keep on singing that song
They go La-de-da-de-dum, La-de-da-de-dum
La-de-da-de-dum,
La-de-da-de-dum, La-de-da-de-dum,
They start it all over again.
La-de-da-de-dum, La-de-da-de-dum
(Gordon) Something shining above.
(two-headed monsters sing some unintelligible words that end with something that rhymes with "above")
We can't help singing La-de-da-de-dum
Loud and clear and strong.
But La-de-da-de-dum, La-de-da-de-dum
La-de-da-de-dum, La-de-da-de-dum
La-de-da-de-dum, Laaaaaaaaaaaa!
What IS the name of that song?
Sometimes, I would, on complete randomness, hum a tune that I recall from my childhood days. Usually, it would be in bed, while I catching up on my reading and the husband busy doing whatever he is doing on the internet (I-don’t-wanna-know!). He would look up at me and ask "What are you humming too?"
"Let me show you" is my usual reply as I snatch the laptop from him and google the title of the song on Youtube. I patiently wait for the video to load (no, unfortunately we don’t have Unifi, so we are stuck at a Gary-the-snail speed)
When the video plays, I will sing along to the song. He is as amused (as am I) on how I can memorise the lyrics to songs that I've listed to 20 odd years ago. No, if you are one who thinks I have the memory of Suit's Mike Ross (#Suits) [one of the best series I have watched so far] or Criminal Mind's Dr.Spencer Reid (#CriminalMinds), you're wrong. I barely even remember what I had for lunch yesterday or where I left my hp & wallet when I'm in church (I have this habit of leaving my stuff around church).
So, how and why do I remember all this irrelevant things? Like when Rory, the new Irish lad in Glee sings "Bein' Green" I immediately recognise that song as one sang by Kermit the Frog in one of the Sesame Street episods I so religiously watch when I was younger. Or more tunes from Sesame Street like "What's The Name Of That Song?" or "Sing After Me" or this particular song "Food Around The Corner" from a cartoon.
Now, I regret introducing these songs to him, coz he hums it out all the time!
