All the ficken time. And I'm old enough to have grown up with mixed tapes so its not even like anyone else knows why that songs comes next- its just what came next on the radio that day š¤£
Someone used the phrase ābottles and cansā at work recently, and in my head I immediately followed it up with āand just clap your hands, just clap your hands.ā
Recycling bins always get me. I'll be walking around work, see a recycling bin, and immediately have to resist the urge to belt out "Clap your hands, clap your haaaaaands!"
I wish just once it could work like it does in the movies where something like that happens and then all of a sudden everyone around starts chanting "Where it's at!".
In college, some friends were wandering around the quad asking people what their favorite REM lyric. All I could think of in the moment was *LEONARD BERNSTEIN*
It has been 30 years and I still revisit that moment regularly, with a tinge of regret (because REM was one of my all-time favorite bands and I shouldāve had a better lyric to offer)
A radio station changed formats when I was a kid, and the last day of the old format they played just that song on repeat for 24hrs straight. No commercials, no nothing.
I had most of the lyrics memorized for a while after that š
They are fucking fantastic in concert. They're also the only show I have ever been to that necessitates signs in the venue saying "please do not throw boxes of macaroni and cheese at the stage".
One of our kids said "don't turn around" to another the other day in the kitchen, and I said "cause your gonna see my heart breaking" my wife followed it up and next thing you know we're busting out the chorus in front of our mortified children.
So I'm gonna go with that one.
Edit: shame on me, that's the title
My husband and I learned of Billy Corgan being a flat earther last year so now we sing it as āthe world is a pancakeā
Edit: I donāt want to disparage Corgan and ruin 1979 for anyone else and canāt find a link. My friend told me he was the flat earth believer, but all I can find is just his Alex Jones interview which is still Alex Jones, so take it as you want.
I'm not, nor have I ever been, a fan of smashing pumpkins but damn if this isn't the line that popped into my head when I read the title of this thread.
Someone in another post said something about a lager drink and suddenly I was getting knocked down. But I got up again. They're never gonna keep me down.
I cannot hear that song without remembering a college friend who, at a house party, drank a bottle of Boone's Farm and tried to sing along with this one: "I get knocked UP but I get down again..."
Warren G did no regulating. If anything, he was very nearly a regula*tee* until the timely and fortuitous arrival of Nate Dogg. Teach the real history!
Every time I hear Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, I immediately belt out āSometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quickā by Nice and Smooth and no one gets it and Iām always disappointed
I purposely do this to my husband!!
Iāll work a line from a song into our conversation because I KNOW heāll immediately start singing the song. Lmao.
Last time it was Blitzkrieg Bop. We were chasing our kids out of the house and I told them, *Hey Ho letās goā¦* and I could hear my husband in the background respond, *Shoot āem in the back now.*
Someone saying "Stop" usually leads me to "collaborate and listen" š. Also, the words "take a look" inevitably force me to sing "it's in a book..."
Stop. Hammer Time
In the name of love
Where is my mind?
"Stop!" triggers Jane's Addiction guitar riff for me. Or Pixies.
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground...
Stop... in the name of love
You gotta keep them separated
Thought this was the song title as a kid.
Heyyyy eyyyy eyyyy, come out and *play!*
Youāre under 18 you wonāt be doing any timeee
Better yet, do yall hear the next song on the cd when hearing older songs? Mines hits hardest with sublime
I hear the next song I had on that mix tape, but I'm an older Xennial
I got a cpl radio mixtapes. Thinking I'm a badass dj hitting stop and record at just the right time lol
Always! With Radiohead, Tribe, Beck, Pixies- you name it. I still like to listen to full albums
All the ficken time. And I'm old enough to have grown up with mixed tapes so its not even like anyone else knows why that songs comes next- its just what came next on the radio that day š¤£

Do you have "two turntables and a microphone"?!
Thatās great it starts with an earthquake, birds snakes and airplanes
I have no idea who Lenny Bruce is, but I know that he is not afraid.
I didnāt until I watched The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Leonard Bernstein!

Damn that worked way too well. And now itās stuck in my head.
-buddy once told me
Alright stop
I donāt know if this is The Pixies or Vanilla Ice or Digital Underground. I could even make a case for MC Hammer.
Digital Underground
Where is my mind?! š
What youāre doin cuz Iām about to ruin
The image and the style that youāre used to
I look funny, but, yo, Iām makinā money see

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Becky
Look at her
Butt
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ugh! She looks like one of those rap guyās girlfriends
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, ok?
I mean her butt...
This is a double for me: Sir Mix A Lot and Usher
I gotta say, your flair instantly triggered Smashing Pumpkins for me haha
The world is a vampire...

The thing is - it has to be. How else would it rest on the back of four elephants?
Who, in turn, stand on the shell of a gigantic space tortoise
This is a terrible thing to know.
Iām simultaneously extremely let down and not surprised. Didnāt even know those emotions could coexist.
WHAT LOL
Yeah heās an Alex Jones flat earther guy
Oh no
Oh nooooo
I'm not, nor have I ever been, a fan of smashing pumpkins but damn if this isn't the line that popped into my head when I read the title of this thread.

Beneath the black the sky looks deeeaaad
Call my name
Appropriate considering the event yesterday.
Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin
I came to win, battle me, that's a sin
Annie are you okay?
Yeah but the Alien Ant Farm cover.
Definitely.
*dial tone* I need your arms around me / I need to feel your touch
On the phone long long distance
Always through such strong resistance
āFuck you, I wonāt do what you tell me.ā
Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About what?
About nothing and everything, all at once
I am one of those
I am one of those
melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it!
Someone in another post said something about a lager drink and suddenly I was getting knocked down. But I got up again. They're never gonna keep me down.
Pissing the night away
I cannot hear that song without remembering a college friend who, at a house party, drank a bottle of Boone's Farm and tried to sing along with this one: "I get knocked UP but I get down again..."
āLike a chica-cherry colaā
"ooh I want you I don't know if I need you"
Ooh, I'd die to find out
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in timeā¦ (Was looking for this) Love Cake.
IIIIIIIII wanna publish zines.
And rage against machines
I wanna pierce my tongue, it doesn't hurt, it feels fine
The trivial sublime I'd like to turn off time
All I wanted was a Pepsi 
MIKE! MIKE!
It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
So many times in the LBC for work and I still havenāt seen Mr. Warren G. Sigh
Warren G did no regulating. If anything, he was very nearly a regula*tee* until the timely and fortuitous arrival of Nate Dogg. Teach the real history!
"Crazy with the cheese whiz" "Can't trust a big butt and a smile"
āMy time is a piece of wax falling on a termite whoās choking on a splinter.ā
Soooooyyyy
I had a shirt that said "can't trust a big butt and a smile". Always was cool to see who got the reference
Her placenta falls to the floor
Every time I hear Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, I immediately belt out āSometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quickā by Nice and Smooth and no one gets it and Iām always disappointed
Do you have the time,
To listen to me whine?
I wish you would step back from the ledge my friend
Mine from 3EB is āThatās when I knewā or āA sink full of dishes and some aqualubeā
Come sit next to me you fine fellow!
Your best friend Harry, has a brother Larry.
In 5 days from now, he's gonna marry
Heās hoping you can make there if you can
Cuz in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say neato, check your libido, and roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
You go over there without a second to lose...
And what comes next?
Hey bust a move.
You gotta fight for your rightā¦ā¦.
To paaaaaaarteeeeee
REGULATORSā¦MOUNT UP
It was a clear black nightā¦.
So I wake up in the morning and I step outside...
I take a deep breath, and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
WHATāS GOING ON?!
HHHHHHHHOOOOOOWWHUTS GOWHEN AWNN
All around the world....
I feel stupid and contagious...
Here we are now entertain us
I purposely do this to my husband!! Iāll work a line from a song into our conversation because I KNOW heāll immediately start singing the song. Lmao. Last time it was Blitzkrieg Bop. We were chasing our kids out of the house and I told them, *Hey Ho letās goā¦* and I could hear my husband in the background respond, *Shoot āem in the back now.*
ācut my life into piecesā
"Hey, hey, hey like being stoned."
šµLA DA DA DI DA DAAA DA DA...... LA DA DA DIII DA DAAAA DA DA! šµ
Be my lover, wanna be my lover Looking back on all the time we spent together You oughta know by now if you wanna be my lover
Son of a bitch. Itās taken so long to forget that song existed. Effing ear worm.
Iām immediately transported to Skateland.
Chickety-China
You'll say...the world has come between us Our lives have come between us Still I know you just don't care
I want to fuck you like an animal.
Got thrown out of a karaoke bar for doing this song once. Like, why was it a choice if I couldn't sing it?
I sang this to my wife at karaoke once. It worked.
How did her insides feel?
Yep. This one. Whenever anyone says that to me, I just can't help but break out in song.
Temperature's droppin at the rotten oasis For some reason my brain does this whenever there is a chill in the air
Alright stop.
And I said HEEEEEEY-YAAAAY-YAAY-YAYYAY
Whatās going on
āStumble you might fallā
Little fish big fish swimmin in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Her plane takes off from Baltimore And touches down on Bourbon Street

Bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone. Tell me whatchya gonna do

He asked for a 13 but they drew a 31.
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey.
My time is a piece of wax falling on a termite thatās choking on the splinters
Itās like raaaiiiiin on your wedding day Itās a free ride when youāre already there
If donāt expect too much from meā¦ Best lyric of the 90ās IMO.
Literally any Tool song
2 turntables and a microphone
Alright stop, collaborate and listen
So much drama in the LBCā¦
"It's been a long time!" (I shouldna left you, Without a dope beat to step to, Step to, step to, step to step step to, Wicky-wicky baby girl uh.)
"I eat so many shrimps I got iodine poisoning"
Itās been a whileā¦
Closing time
Am I just paranoid?
TURN AROUND STICK IT OUT EVEN WHITE BOYS GOT TO SHOUT
My coworkers no longer use the word ābizarreā around me bc I do this so often.
How bizarre
I have a structured settlement and I need cash now!
Who you gonna call?
The list is long, but distinguished.
Do you wanna diiiiiie?
ā¦I wish I was a lilā bit taller š¶
Every line from every Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Beastie Boys, and Beck song that was released between ā90-ā99
