A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
Is it the song, or was that a "short" joke...?Originally posted by RichmondJake

Not an annoying tune, but it does tend to get stuck in my head:
You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.
She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.
But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.
But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
When you woke up this morning everything you had was
gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a voice telling you there was something you should
know. Last night you were flying but today you're so low
- ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
you'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers. Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you
didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little
drink' Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
Mama said you'd be the Chosen One.
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.

Hit it, Sammy!
Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two

Oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good!
Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie

By the way, I still think Haysi Fantayzee performed some of the most earworm-inducing songs of the 1980s. From a review by Kurt Rieghley:
Hear it for yourself. Don't say you haven't been warned.Their insidious "Shiny, Shiny" vaulted into the UK Top 20, and even cracked Billboard's Hot 100 in the US. With seesawing fiddles and Garner's off-key incantation "good times, come to me now" the tune boasted more hooks than a herringbone corset. Fifteen years later it still exerts a horrific ability to lodge in a listener's memory on first hearing.
Recognizing their modest strengths, the duo packaged the European edition of their sole album - 1983's Battle Hymns for Children Singing - with a booklet of risquŽ portraits. America had to contend with the music alone, which had already passed its sell-by date before the LP hit stores. "One of the most intentionally annoying records of all time," proclaimed Ira Robbins in the Trouser Press Record Guide. "A few tracks are fine for very occasional listening, but enduring this entire album in one sitting is like having painful dentistry performed by an overbearing three-year-old."
Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell. -- Edward Abbey

I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do
He said that
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice
And then the witch doctor, he gave me this advice
He said that
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang

You've been keeping love from me just like you were a miser
And I'll admit I wasn't very smart
So I went out and found myself a guy that's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang

IIRC, that ad jingle was so popular at that time (gotta love the late 1960s 'folk' crazeOriginally posted by zmanPLAN
) that the song itself was subsequently released as a single. This was much like Phil Collins' song Tonight, Tonight, Tonight that was originally used as the background for a beer(?) ad and then soon after released as a single, this in the mid-late 1980s.
Another 'folk' ditty from that time (late 1960s) that will really get your head to explode is Guantanamera by the Sandpipers.![]()
