2. The part that sounds like clapping?
I like the song, but it is a random song to get stuck in your head when you haven't heard it in forever.

Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 01:31 PM by miss_kitty
"Marty Feldman Eyes" stuck in MY head-and *I* know why.

Her hair is gray and old
Her lips chapped and dry
Her hands are always cold
She's got Marty Feldman eyes
Her once good looks are gone
She'll no longer entice
A big mole on her nose
She's got Marty Feldman eyes

She'll unease you
She has fleas too
And she has Hodgkin's disease too
She's atrocious
Sometimes she forgets to make the toilet bowl flush
She's got Kirstie Alley big fat thighs
She's got Marty Feldman eyes

She's from a mental home
You know her mind's not right
Her hair she doesn't comb
She's got Marty Feldman eyes
She'll scream or mumble at you
Repeats everything twice
She's got a few loose screws
She's got Marty Feldman eyes

She's an old shrew
And she's been to
Other planets in a U.F.O. too
She's atrocious
And she knows just what it takes to make you go nuts
All the boys think she's a guy
She's got Marty Feldman eyes

She'll impede you
And deceive you
All the better just to leave you
She's atrocious
When she scrubs her back she'll use the toilet bowl brush
All the boys think she's a guy
She's got Marty Feldman eyes

33. :)
actually that's circling a wierd scar i have on my nose. I got it when i was putting a chopping blade and cutting board up on a shelf above my head. the blade slid off the board and nailed me right on the bridge of my nose.

I went to the ER, but there wasn't enough skin to suture, so they glued the cut shut. So now I have this goofy scar across the bridge of my nose. :P

37. everyday is a gift to be enjoyed and lived to its fullest
I remember quite clearly ... one week to the day after 9/11 ... I put Miss Frodo in my car and drove to Cape May, NJ. Together we went up on the observatory platform watching Hawks in their magnificence Fall migration.

I will continue to celebrate being alive ` with all the good and bad, for without the cloudy cold days we might not fully appreciate the sun

17. I have a Weird Al song stuck in my head so consider yourself lucky
At least I think it's weird al.

Anyone want to help out here? It goes like this:

"I've got two small ferrets in a great big cage"

That's all I remember and it's now in a loop in my head. It's making me INSANE. I don't know WHY it's in there, but it is.

..."Betty Davis' eyes Stuck In My Head". Good song? Sounds freaky as hell.

36. Bangkok, oriental setting
and the city don't know what the city is getting...


I think Bette Davis eyes will replace that one, thank you! Either that or the Come On Eileen song someone mentioned earlier. I'll try 'em both out and see which one sticks.

My husband, the other night, said "One night in Brussels" and I've been stuck with "Bangkok" ever since. I was wanting a change, and you helped!

Not too mention Kimmy's charming, Ma-Kettle-recovering-from-laryngitis vocals.
