This is one I just can't stop singing in my mind.

The Balad of Bonnie & Clyde



Bonnie And Clyde
GEORGIE FAME

Bonnie and Clyde were pretty lookin' people
But I can tell you people They were the devil's children,
Bonnie and Clyde began their evil doin'
One lazy afternoon down Savannah way,
They robbed a store, and high-tailed outa that town
Got clean away in a stolen car,
And waited till the heat died down,
Bonnie and Clyde advanced their reputation
And made the graduation
Into the banking business.
"Reach for the sky" sweet-talking Clyde would holler
As Bonnie loaded dollars in the dewlap bag,
Now one brave man-he tried to take 'em alone
They left him Iyin' in a pool of blood,
And laughed about it all the way home.
Bonnie and Clyde got to be public enemy number one
Running and hiding from ev'ry American lawman's gun.
They used to laugh about dyin',
But deep inside 'em they knew
That pretty soon they'd be lyin'
Beneath the ground together
Pushing up daisies to welcome the sun
And the morning dew.
Acting upon reliable information
A fed'ral deputation laid a deadly ambush.
When Bonnie and Clyde came walking in the sunshine
A half a dozen carbines opened up on them.
Bonnie and Clyde, they lived a lot together
And finally together they died,

"From: Ian Scott-Parker (pishtush infowest.com)
Subject: feedback: dewlap

I never hear the word dewlap without remembering the 1968 hit 'The Ballad of Bonnie & Clyde' by Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames. Elaine Currie takes up the story, under the headline 'I Wonder Why Dictionaries Went Out Of Fashion':

"Georgie Fame and his band, The Blue Flames, were very popular and, when they released a record, it was played all the time everywhere. This song was about the bank-robbing duo, Bonnie and Clyde, and included a verse about them, stuffing their loot into a canvas bag. Unfortunately, when Georgie Fame wrote the words to the song, he got a word wrong. Instead of referring to a "burlap" bag, he used the word "dewlap". I couldn't listen to that song without picturing the villains stuffing bank notes into a cow's mouth and that definitely ruined the dramatic impact for me."

This error did not go unnoticed by the rest of the world. Georgie Fame admitted in an interview that somebody had told him, before the song was recorded, that "dewlap" was not the right word but he brushed them off and didn't bother to check. Once the song had been recorded and released, it was too late to do anything about it."

The technical term for a song stuck in your head is earworm.

My mom says that she uses Aerosmith to get other songs out of her head. It works too.

I don't know about days, try years

roll eyes



I can never forget kylie minogue singing "locomotion"

It was playing in my car back in 1988 on my way to work ,when i skidded off the road in my softop sportscar and ended upside down in a gulley beside the road

I survived,saved by the strength of my headrest, the passenger side was squashed

But ironically the music carried on playing until the ambulance arrived
Good old fashioned tape players ,and good old kylie dancing

WOW, what a great rendition of a really crappy song. I wouldn't mind having that stuck in my head for a while. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind having her stuck ON my head for a while. grin
