Unskinny Bop
At some stage in the past, probably in the eighties, somebody released a song called 'Unskinny Bop.' I don't know who wrote it. I don't know who performed it. I don't want to know. I just want it to go away.
It popped into my head apropos of nothing last Sunday and it's been there ever since. It's annoying at the best of times when a song gets stuck in your head. It's worse when you don't like the song. It's unbearable when you don't like the song and you don't even know any of the lyrics. All I can remember of the entire song is the hook from the chorus, which is comprised of the title of the song, with an echo on the second word.
That's it.
It annoys me. A lot.
If it doesn't leave soon, people are going to die.
A lot of people.

Crap.
Now I'm going to have to look it up, because it hasn't jumped into my head, and I pride myself on knowing all the crappiest '80s songs in existance, so I'll look it up, and go "OOOOh yeah" (hehehe did you like that?) and then the crappy '80s song that I can't recall will be firmly lodged in MY brain, and I will have to come and mow you down with one of your own tractors in an act of revenge. It is only right.
I think it was someone who wanted to be in Motley Crue when they grew up.

Pa! Then I'll have to go to your place of work and...
ummm...
look at womens bottoms.
Or something.
hehehe
i think it was poison, but not sure. definitely know the song though.
my favourite motley crue song is dr feelgood
Offhand, that's the only Motley Crue song I can - or want to - remember.
It was Poison. And it was 1990. Get your decades right, old-timer.
Meanwhile I heard Poison's 'Nothing But A Good Time' on the wireless the other day for the first time in probably a decade and appalled myself by cranking it up.
- Caz.
Dirk, the only solution is to start drinking heavily.
errr, motley crue was a one hit wonder wasn't it? dr feelgood was their only song?
Caz,
I only said that I thought it was the eighties. Meanwhile,the pedantic among us could mount an argument for 1990 being part of the eighties. They'd be the same people who said that y2k was part of the old millennium.
Also, I wish I was there when Poison came on the radio. I would have taken video footage and retired on the proceeds.
Adrian,
ok, but only because you said so. I'd never do it otherwise. Unless I had something to celebrate. Or some sorrows to drown. Or I was bored. Or not.
Rat,
from memory, Dr. Feelgood was a rehab song after they had all (allegedly) cleaned up.
The only other piece of Crue history I know is that one time in LA, towards the end of a several week long drug bender with the band, Nikki Sixx(sp.?) once saw Ossie Osbourne snort a line of ants off the footpath.
Sherriff,
I'm sure that if you really, really tried, you could find a support group.
