[SteveB]

"DJ Homicide" is a friend of Kevin Spears?

[Tamara Rhymes With Camera]

Dave, you're really quite the prankster, aren't you?

Or is this part of an intervention to get me to face my internet addiction?

[Betsy]

TRWC...I think this is what they call "entrapment". You're being awfully kind to suggest that it might have a benign motivation.
[now I have to go wash out my eyes and ears with carbolic acid...]

[GDogg]

I'll have the Popo Zao with some hot and sour soup and General Tso's chicken, please.

[(_i_)]

Then there's this classic from the 1940s:

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
"Swim" said the mama fishie, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

Proving that stupid song lyrics are not a modern invention, yeah yeah yeah.

PS I found the lyrics on the US National Institute of Health website at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/fishies.htm.

Your tax dollars at work?

[PirateBoy]

The link states that K-Fed has 8678 "friends". I wa was unaware of just how many homeless people have a connection to the Internet.

[mudstuffin]

this rap is crap
popo zao oh wow
what my mind fails to grasp
is that your sick of my ass
you've had enough of white trash
wannabes and their acts
gonna flush me down the crapper
but I wannabe a rapper
got my wife to subsidize
until she realize

this rap is crap, reject, it's wack
popo zoa not now
why you take offense at that?
do you suppose me rhymes be more wack
than Britney's toxic crap?
what's up wit dat?
can't see where it's at
gotta itch where it scratch
while this money lasts
got my head up my ____
ask me where my rhymes at
and I point to my
Po po
Po po
Po po zao po po zao

[Sledge Hammer!]

Is this a good time to mention that Kevin Federline is not a good name for a rock band?

[GDogg]

PirateBoy: Perhaps it's because MySpace doesn't have a classification for "Hangers-On."

[Betsy]

Mud! Bravissimo, dog!
Sledge: Yes! this is an EXCELLENT time:)
[standing ovation on the shores of Lake Michigan]

[PirateBoy]

This fits the K-Fed theme, and includes a photo of him at the end.

Topless Sandals. Seriously. Stick 'em to your feet and off you go. Which begs the question: Why?

You have been warned

[madsoapboxer]

OK mud, now I'm REALLY depressed..... it's extremely disenheartening to realize that I recognize almost ALL of those songs....

Just shoot me now.

[pogo]

Mud - that is an impressive list.

[I Hear Dread People.]

Back in the day, I used to be a pretty fair singer; I lead the gang in many a rousing chorus on the bus ride to & from out high school sports games. (Apparently the portable radio had yet to be invented.) One hot new favorite of the time was "The Name Game" by Shirley Idon'tremember. We had worked our way merrily through most of the members of our football team (Bill Bill bo Bill, banana fana fo bill, fe fi fo FILL!) and had just launched into a rousing chorus of "HEY! Chuck Chuck, bo buck, banana fana fo buck, fee fi fo......." when several of the sharper gals screamed out "STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" so loudly, the bus driver slammed on the brakes and dumped all our silly asses on the floor.

[U.O]

mud' -- great list ... HOWever, unless I missed it ... you neglected to include

Da Doo Ron Ron, Da Doo Ron Ron ...

Dread -- so that was YOU ... I almost got in trouble when some of the parents complained about my driving ... but when I explained what had been going on ... they all said ... Huh?

[No name band]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make It STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That STUPID IDIOT'S song is repeating in my HEAD!
Make IT STOP,MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE MAKE IT STOPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your's,

No Name Rock Band

[Guin]

Acck! Needs a warning for those of us who find KJerk nausea-inducing!

[Kev]

"Topless Sandals. Seriously. Stick 'em to your feet and off you go. Which begs the question: Why?"

I think the general idea of these things is that people who really like to go barefoot (count me in) can do so without 1) hurting themselves, or 2) running afoul of "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rules in stores, restaurants, etc. (And no, I don't own a pair of these, but I've heard about them for years.)

[pepe]

K-Fed-up. The hot new sensation to induce nausea and cause you to swear off rap songs forever!
Buy one for your teenager today, play it for good behaviour!

[Dave (not Barry)]

Dave, just because you don't understand a foreign language doesn't mean you should poke fun at it. Kevin has simply translated Eminem's "Ass Like That" into Hungarian, so it makes perfect sense once you know what's being communicated in this stirring tribute to his lovely wife Britney..

Ass Like That-

The way you shake it,
I can't believe it, I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee pee
go...doing doing doing
I don't believe it, it's almost to good to be true
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee pee go...doing doing doing

[Bryan]

At first I thought this was a quote from Boog Hamburger

[Noob]

Mud, I know well over half the songs on your list. In fact, a good number of them are trying to dance together in my head.

*goes searching for Ipod shuffle to cure incessant song fragment problem*

[Betsy]

Noob...it's pandemic. And you're right: they're all rushing toward the center of my brain where they'll collide, and fuse for a single nanosecond into a blinding flash of nuclear doo-woppity, and then...it'll be the Big Bang-a-ding-dong all over again (over over over anda over, what more can I do. cause she's got...)

Help (help, bo belp, bana fana fo felp)

Blue Moooon.

[Ross]

Mud

You forget:

Na na na na na na na
na na na na hey Jude.

But that was a great list. Ross

[Eleanor]

coo-coo-ca-choo

[No name band]

Cause she's got Personalities, Personalities, Personalities. And over over and over what more can I do...

Thank you very much Betsy you have just started Everone
singing that horendous song!

[Alfred]

Not Berried Dave- Really it sounds more like Vietnamese or Samoan. If it was Samoan he would be saying.
Chicken
Chicken
Chicken

In Vietnamese he would be saying jibberish.

Mud- Nice list, do we have a list for people that make the beat with there mouths. Beat boxers I think is the word.
Nan na na NA Na na na na Hey hey hey Goodnight

What ever happend to Ice Ice Baby.

[Noob]

I just let my 12 year old son listen to that link. He thinks K-Fed is a no-talent hack, too. Of course, he was quite cynical from the moment I told him who the 'artist' was.

I love my kids.

[wegman]

How does THAT (Kevin) get Britney? Even though she is a space cadet, she does look like she does. And she settles on that creature?

[AlanBoss]

Thanks to Mud, I now have 27 earworms going
all at once.

While now amount of drugs could induce me to play tha "music" link on K-Fed's page, I will say that when I saw the transcript of the lyric on Dave's post, the only thing I could think of was, "Everybody knows, about the bird. Bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word...."

[Wavey]

No one's actually attempted to answer Mudstuffin's quiz yet, so here goes:

1. Teenager in Love by Dion & The Belmonts
2. Witch Doctor by David Seville
3. Handyman by James Taylor
4. Poppa Oom Mow Mow (that's the correct spelling) by the Rivingtons, later copped by the Oak Ridge Boys for Elvira
5. Tutti Frutti by Little Richard
6. Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat by Paul Evans (I *think*...It took me forever to pull that out of the cobwebs of my brain.)
7. Hot Dog Dooly Wah by the Pyramids
8. Charlie Brown by the Coasters
9. The Name Game by Shirley Ellis
10. ?? no clue on this one ??
11. Ling Ting Tong by the Five Keys
12. ?? no clue on this one either ??
13. Baby Talk by Jan & Dean
14. ?? argh...sounds so familiar but...can't...remember...??
15. Boy From New York City by The Ad Libs (love that one!)
16. ?? no clue ??
17. Come Go With Me by The Del Vikings
18. Little Darlin' by The Diamonds
19. Get A Job by The Silhouettes (that one was easy!)
20. Nee Nee Na Na Na Na Nu Nu by Dickey Doo & The Don'ts (my dad had a 45 of that stupid thing when I was a kid)
21. Sh-Boom by The Crew Cuts
22. Blue Moon by The Marcels (I always hated what they did to this song. It's meant to be heartfelt, slow, sad, moody and yearning. Actually, one of the best versions I've heard of it is in "Blue Moon Revisited" by Cowboy Junkies, where Margo Timmins sings an excerpt of the original Blue Moon in the middle of that song. I always wished she would've just sung the entire old song. Beautiful voice. But I digress.)
23. ?? Can't pull this one out of the brain...??
24. He's So Fine by The Chiffons
25. Breaking Up is Hard To Do (original version) by Neil Sedaka
26. ?? something about aliens, I think? But that's all I remember ??
27. ?? ah, I don't know this one either ??

How'd I do? I'm not a huge doo wop fan -- 60's through 80's are the eras I know the most about. Someone help me out on the ?? ones.

[Wavey]

And of course, there's always the bubblegum classic:

Dong dong Di Ki Di-Ki Dong

by none other than The Kasenatz-Katz Super Circus.

[Betsy]

Next morning...still at it:

Shoo dootn dooby doo/Shoo dootn dooby doo

and

Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ka ding-dong-ding-dong ding
[that one's so easy it hardly counts]

[U.O]

10 - ?
12 - Trouble (reprise) ... not whut I'd call a "rock 'n' roll" song ...
14 - I met him on Sunday
16 - Please Mr. Custer ... another "not r 'n' r ..."
23 - Speedoo
26 - The Martian Hop
27 - Imagination

[Wavey]

Thanks, U.O. I don't even know "Speedoo" or "Please Mr. Custer."

Then there's the whole genre of nonsense phrases that sound vaguely like a foreign language...

Quando paramucho mi amore de felice corazon / Mundo paparazzi me amore chica ferdy parasol / Cuesto obrigado tanta mucho que can eat it carousel
