Weird that, whenever I see motor vehicles manoeuvring in unusual ways (and it's often), I hear Bowie singing, 'John, I'm only dancing...'

My sister sent me this, a global infection from the antipodes.

Bitch. This is a kind of term of affection in my family
As now it wont go away. How come after 30 years I can still remember the words to every verse?

You MOO. I didn't know that I hadn't forgotten that.

Fortunately, I have never heard the song in question. Now I have to be really really nice to Butterfly, lest she sing it to me and infect me with what sounds like a chronic case of earworm...

You can hear it HERE on Amazon. It's all part of life's shitty tapestry.

Earworm lyrics help needed!

It's driving me crazy.

ISIRTA Bill Oddie song (as performed by John Cleese with the company):

'I've got a ferret sticking up my nose...
How it got there I can't tell
But now it's there it hurts like hell
And what is more it radically affects my sense of smell...'

OK with that so far, but there's another verse that goes summat like;

'I've got a ferret sticking up my nose...
How it got there I can't say
It wasn't there the other day...'

And that's where i get stuck, and it goes round & round in circles in my head. And I know Butterfly knows the words... $:-\$

Just for you, transcribed from

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/CS_fCLKamfo&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/CS_fCLKamfo&rel=1</a>. You have the first verse right.

I've got a ferret sticking up my nose.
It pokes its head out every time he blows
I can stand it for a while
Although it's absolutely vile
It's not as bad as last week when I had a crocodile

I can see a bare-bottomed mandrill
Slyly eyeing his other nostril.
I really don't know what to do
But if it jumps inside there too
I shall be the proud possessor of a kind of nasal Zoo

I've got a ferret sticking up my nose
It starts singing when he wears his formal clothes
I can almost stand the noise
But at parties it destroys
My hard-earned and carefully cultivated social poise

I've got a ferret sticking up my nose
Worst of all it constantly explodes
Ferrets don't explode you'll say
But it happened nine times yesterday
And I should know for each time I was standing in the way

I've got a ferret sticking up my nose
He's got a ferret sticking up his nose
How it got there I can't tell
But now it's there it hurts like hell
And what is more it radically affects
My sense of smell!

Thank you. Now I can irritate myself by singing it in its entirety

Depeche Mode. Contrary to the words, I can just get enough, thank you.

Horrid one last night. I'm just fortunate it was a curtailed ride, and I put it down to delirium induced by fever:

'I've got a ferret sticking up my nose...

And again. In anatomical and veterinary improbability: how can a nose-ferret be an ear-worm?

No1. Son has discovered Spitting Image and spent last night repeating "Hold a chicken in the air, shove a deckchair up your nose.......".

Guess what I was singing on the ride to work this morning

How do you disown children?

Two bags of Portland cement and a reservoir is the favoured method.

A shovel is the favoured weapon of choice for splitting open a new bag of Portland and then mixing it.

I'm not sure M. le Maire's old friend Mr Shovel would be happy to be relegated to such a mundane task. You don't want chips on the shoulder of your shovel...
