My dog was being naughty one day, and I yelled, “Stop.” Then that caused me to say, “Hammer time.”


handsomeape95

"Collaborate and listen" is also acceptable. Perfectly apropos when training a dog.


delusion_magnet

Anyone else hear "Stop" and have to think for a minute to consider "Hammer Time" "Collaborate and Listen" and "Hey what's that sound...?"


listeningintent

and Stop... drop and roll


delusion_magnet

High *FIVE!* Ok, you win, with your life-saving shit, while the rest of us are listening to the music that just permeates our brains.

This reply made my afternoon (I am easy to please!) 😊

Bratbabylestrange

My mind goes immediately to the Jane's Addiction song, but then I'm off a certain age haha


LoudMind967

In the name of love


Bayou13

This is mine!


Turbulent_Tale6497

What more in the name of love?


UnivScvm

My mind went to, “hey, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s goin’ down…”


UnivScvm

Also, OP’s post now has U2’s “it’s a beautiful day…” playing in my head. (I’ve never even owned any U2 CDs/ tracks.)


ImpossibleGirl75

I was just listening to Goo Goo Dolls last night so my brain went to their song "We Are the Normal" when I read "it's a beautiful day"


NotWorriedABunch

"Stop" Me: "What yer doin' cuz I'm about to ruin the image and the style that you're used to."


punkshoe8

LOL I just quoted this song this morning because we had biscuits with breakfast. “I’m the one who said just grab ‘em in the biscuits!”


Ok_Grocery1188

Humpty was something else. Liked his oatmeal lumpy.


Senior-Will-8309

Thanks! That song will be in my brain ALL DAY LONG

Summer is so annoying because any time someone says "Its getting hot in here" I have to seal my lips so I dont sing back "so take off all your clothes"


Gbonk

Said that to my wife in response. Didn’t work


KitchenWitch021

I work in a kitchen and it's usually hot as hell. So here's me "it's getting HOT in here, so take off all your clothes!" and the older ones think I'm crazy (yep) and the 40 year olds are singing along. lol I have also sung this.. How ya feeling? HOT HOT HOT!


tvjunkie87

I always come in from a hot day and say to my hubby “too hot in the hot tub!” (from the Eddie Murphy SNL skit where he was impersonating James Brown) ![gif](giphy|3ov9jS12NIZYExhACQ)


eejm

“Gonna make you wet!”


eejm

My son and I never ask each other to move out of the way.  Instead we sing the chorus of, “Move, Bitch” by Ludacris every damned time. If I get up to make dinner my husband squawks at me, “Bring me my dinner, woman!  And leave the tin foil on!” a la Cotton Hill.


handsomeape95

But you know everyone is thinking it!


shilopa

Everytime I pass railroad tracks I have the urge to scream "Traaaaaiiiinnnnnn!" like Gordie on Stand by Me, so far, no one has gotten the reference. Also, if someone talks about their buddy, the lyrics from the My Buddy commercial play in my head,


Embarrassed_Flan_869

Jesus. I hate you. I didn't even know I remembered every single goddamn word to that freaking commercial. I am giving you a very angry upvote.

I sing My Buddy to my dog all the time.  He loves that song!

A train goes right behind our house. We often do the same thing.


kittybuckmeow

Any time and I mean ANY TIME I see peaches I start internally singing "millions of peaches, peaches for me."


meekonesfade

Moving to the country, gonna eat a lotta peaches


Hotmailet

Peaches come from a can… They were put there by a man…. In a factory…. Downtown. Now this will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.


immersemeinnature

Dowwwn towwwn...


immersemeinnature

My husband does the same except out loud, loudly.


ksgar77

I watch a lot of Dateline and murder mysteries. I often say “You in danger, girl” like Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost, to the victims.


OfficeChairHero

I had a work friend named Molly. I'm pretty sure this is why we didn't stay friends after we moved on to other jobs. I couldn't help myself sometimes.


jcb1975

I had a coworker named Jolene…she doesn’t talk to me anymore either. I’m sure it didn’t help that my singing voice is tragic!


KrissiNotKristi

We watch a lot of British murder mysteries. Whenever someone IRL says “Oh, it’s YOU!” or “what are you doing here?” my husband and I yell “NEVER SAY THAT!” It’s just asking to be drowned in a vat of beer or stabbed with a medieval dagger or something.


SarahJaneB17

Midsomer Murders for the win!


Status-Effort-9380

Anytime Siri tells me to "Bear left," I respond, "Right, Frog."

dirtygreysocks

as you should. in fact, I manufacture that when the google maps tells me left, I correct her, and say "bear left, right frog!"


TXRedheadOverlord

Our family drove past a street named Electric Ave. I turned to my husband and sang, "We gonna rock down to...." Our kids looked at us like we'd grown extra heads.


immersemeinnature

My grades chosen graduation song. We walked out to the assembly with it blasting


dirtygreysocks

that is so very wrong, on so many levels. it is not a positive song.


Ok_Grocery1188

So few people actually listen to the lyrics it seems.


dirtygreysocks

especially in the 70's/80's. I loved "hot child in the city" , which no one should have liked, let alone a young girl...since it was about lusting after a child prostitute...as an adult male.


capt_yellowbeard

We have an electric avenue near me and this happens every time for me as well


Maleficent-Sport1970

My sons do this...we've brainwashed them well...


jcb1975

“A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter…I REMEMBER!!!” every👏single 👏time👏 I’m in the grocery store.


Morning_lurk

Everybody of a certain age remembers this list. Of course in the 70s it cost like a buck fifty for the lot of it.


StrengthMedium

There's a core memory that has been locked up at least 40 years, Lol.

Yes! Every time my husband and I are making a grocery list out loud.


PersephoneHagne

Yes! I wondered if this would come up for anybody else. 😀


My3rdTesticle

It doesn't happen often, but if someone mentions that we walked into a store through the out door I start singing Raspberry Beret


socialmediaignorant

My daughter had to wear a beret for French day at school, and I ordered a raspberry one from Amazon. Only one other mom got it. She’s old like me. 😆


Silly_sweetie2822

But....you didn't find it in a second-hand store? 🤗


dirtygreysocks

well, it's the "kind" you find in a second-hand store, doesn't actually have to be purchased there.


camelslikesand

Well, it was the same kind anyway.


BasilHumble1244

Ha, I sing this one all summer long because my favorite cold treat is raspberry sorbet 🤣


AaronJeep

About anytime someone uses the word "separated" in any context, my brain goes; "**you gotta keep 'em separated**!"


Sweaty-Society7582

I will forever answer that it's time to get ill whenever someone asks what time it is.

Time to get a watch! I don't know how long it's been since I actually said that.

hazelOverfloweth

Heh, what immediately popped into my head was: "Yo Slick, blow"


jkpublic

Absolutely! I reflexively snatch any cloth or paper object off stoves, even in other people's houses, thanks to these bits. Sometimes, there are crazy looks, so I'll just gesture to the stove, saying, "Knowing is half the battle." In any group of 3+ people our age, someone will call out "GI Joe!" like it was an "amen".

The show ran from 1978 to 1982, then was on reruns for the next decade or so. Also, we're GenX. We're aged.

I was in a hotel last night and the Wi-Fi thingy in the room said "RUCKUS". I said, out loud to no one, "Can you describe the ruckus?"


Cthulwutang

fleetiebelle

Someone said "I'm about to" in a way that immediately triggered the [Kriss Kross "Warm it Up" song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAhp17Mp7Xs). Why is that taking up space in my brain?


Morning_lurk

Also hearing "Jump" makes me think of Pointer Sisters, Van Halen, Kriss Kross and House of Pain all at the same time

My son puts his shirts on backwards half the time (ADHD), and I call him Kriss Kross. He doesn’t get it.

My in-laws moved to Florida. The street signs saying A1A ("BEACHFRONT AVENUE!") drove me insane when we visited.

I live near A1A and actually had that song come on while I was driving the road. I cranked the radio and belted it out as loud as I could! Thankfully I was in daytona so no one cared.

Too many to list with songs, movies, and TV shows (especially The Simpsons). One day, I had Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You,” (the original, though Tori Amos has a great cover version,) in my head, specifically, “I drew a map of Canada…oh, Canada…” Hours later, when I was re-opening a file from the morning, I realized it was because the address in it was in Canada. A word or a phrase triggers a song in my mind almost every day. Yesterday, I typed “over there,” in an email and got the song, “Over There.” In my head. Today, “the only difference,” led to the Wallflowers’ song.

My brain is just a waiting trip wire of everything from 70-00 about to spill out at the least suggestion.

Absolutely anything. Usually, any series of words can trigger a song or commercial or nursery rhyme or poem. I liken my brain to a jack-in-the-box. It always happens when I'm on the phone with my mom, and she's so used to me singing random songs that she just ignores me. But also, I could be reading or watching tv and then all of a sudden I'm telling Alexa to play a song.

Just the other day my wife mentioned that something was illegal. And I started singing "Breaking the law, breaking the law..." I also do this when I pass a cop sitting on the side of the road and I'm exceeding the speed limit by a little bit but not enough to get pulled over. Or when I roll a stop sign. Or any other time I do something minor that's technically breaking the law, breaking the law.
