A Few of My Favorite Things


Seagrape Tree in our backyard this week.

Read these three sentences and tell me what happens.

Zippity Do Da

A few of my favorite things

Going to the chapel.. 
Before you scroll to bottom think about what you will say in your comment.



The new Volvo Commercial.. CLICK HERE IF YOU DARE TO HEAR is driving me NUTS... he he he get it DRIVING me nuts..
It plays 10 times a day on the never ending talking TV that Bob watches. He has it in his LOOP and he puts it in my LOOP and if we by some miracle stop humming/whistling (yes we both whistle a lot) we will hear it on TV.... I don't have to hear the tune, just saying/seeing the words can start me UP

That started me thinking about other songs that play in the background to commericals and get stuck in my head. We never know which one of us will INFECT the other with an ear worm LOOP.

Oh no!!!! I've never seen/heard that commercial! I had the WORST ear worm while we were camping. It was an awful song that I heard just before we got there. Ugh. You and Bob sound like a recipe for insanity with ear worms!!!!

I get that and I have not heard that nor will I if I can avoid it! I did NOT click on the link! Louis Dean puts songs in my head and they just get on there and echo! I cannot get 'she reached down and picked the gun up that lay smoking in his hand......' from Seven Spanish Angels......it.won't.stop.

There's nothing I hate more than having a tune stuck in my brain, even when I go to bed it's still there, drives me mad.

On your three sentences I was doing ok until the third one, that one I sang. I can't think of what commercial or song it was right now but there was one that I had that thing stuck in my head for a couple weeks. I've never seen the Volvo commercial

That happens to me too. It's hard to get it out of my head!

Hello, I have seen that commercial many times. These songs do get stuck in our heads. An ear worm loop sounds awful. Enjoy your day!

Lol lol you are right. During the heat our morning walks are inside the mall. They have music playing all the time. I cannot tell you how many times a tune gets in our brain loop and it takes 2 minds to remember the title and vocalist. Recently it was a Valare (spelling, from the late 50's early 60's) either James Darren or Frankie Avalon singing.

PS I have not seen that commercial...but that song is one of my favorite things....by Julie Andrews...anyway.

I know just what you mean about commercials. One for me is the one for a doggie treat. One of my favorite oldies...so, I stop & listen when I'm by the tv.

I am afraid to click on that link, lol! These garden photos are wonderful. I love the shadows, the lighting. AND your tropical looking plants and flowers.

Pam said...

We have a few commercials that play over and over here also depending on the station we are on....some I can handle and others I just want to shoot the writer! HAHA....Then talking about commercials there are some even without music that are just so stupid that I wonder why those are the ones that they keep playing over and over again....

"Raindrops on roses, and whiskers …" LOVE it! (Except I keep threatening to sit down and change the words someday to fit me.)

Ya, I'm really susceptible to ear worms; and have been trying like crazy to recall some of the viruses I've picked up from the TV. Naturally, now I can't think of anything. Except "Sweet Caroline" -- they did such a cute job, I've NO IDEA what they were advertising. LOL!

I think the more insidious ones are those just playing in the background. FUN post!

I clicked on the commercial - it is funny, but I haven't seen it - I thought it was good! haha. Here they DVD most of what is watched and skip right through the commercials.

PS I want one of t hose cars!

Thankfully, since I don't watch TV (only stream online) I missed that commercial and so many others. Thanks Sandra for showing me just what I have not been missing and yes I did click on the link!

I really am loving the lighting you're using lately!!

I really try not to watch commercials(except during football season), so thank goodness I haven't seen the new Volvo commercial yet!
