  • Sixteen reasons why I hate the song, gangerh. And Johnny Tillotson. And the coloratura soprano's shameless ripoff of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Among other things.

  • This phrase always makes me think of Tim Curry in "Muppet Treasure Island."

    Sue me.

    June 9, 2009

  • I've never even heard of that song, skip. (Guess I'm lucky.) What I think about when I see this phrase is Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science." :-)

    June 9, 2009

  • So, reesetee...do you dare?

    Some of my animosity toward this song may stem from a huge argument I had with my mother when I first heard the song on the radio way back when. I insisted that Tillotson was singing "Oh a tree in motion." I was...wrong.

    June 9, 2009

  • Well. All I can say is that this song just strengthens my desire to quit my job and become a backup singer in a doo-wop band.

    oooooh, aaaaah, wah wah wah wah

    June 10, 2009

  • Two things:

    1. My mother's first boyfriend apparently sang this when she walked up to him. All together now: Nawwwwww!

    2. This song has been stuck in my head for a good 72 hours now. Specifically, just the RE AH RAAAANGE line.

    Woe.

    Woe woe woe woe woe.

    June 10, 2009

  • Earworm emergency! Quick! Everyone sing the Dolby song and get Tillotson out of plethora's head!

  • Hah! Heh 'jo! Sounds like prose in motion, eh? Did they beat you into a state of high conundrumdudgeon? Were you conundrumbludgeoned?

    June 12, 2009

  • G.H. it was more like prosemotion with a dash of guile! in multiple courses, of course.
