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.

...There's so much I would change.
It doesn't need improvement--
It needs a complete RE AH RAAANGE!

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

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." :-)

skipvia commented on the word poetry in motion
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.

reesetee commented on the word poetry in motion
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

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.

reesetee commented on the word poetry in motion
Earworm emergency! Quick! Everyone sing the Dolby song and get Tillotson out of plethora's head!

Pleth: two things...

fbharjo commented on the word poetry in motion
It keeps on conundrumming, and conundrumming and conundrumming.......... (Maybe that the way the nuns taught some of us difficult concepts. They kept drumming it into our heads. But they were pros at it !)

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

fbharjo commented on the word poetry in motion
G.H. it was more like prosemotion with a dash of guile! in multiple courses, of course.
