Top Ten Jingles That Make You Crazy
Posted By FarmerJ on March 22, 2011
So, yeah. I sometimes whistle while I work. The Farmstead is quite serene, and it’s usually my practice to not disturb the tranquility with noise [except the humming of the washer and dryer, and the wailing of the vacuum cleaner, and the screeching of the smoke alarm, and...oh, never mind!] until after 3:00 p.m. I guess what I’m really saying is that I don’t typically turn on the television or radio until after 3:00 p.m. So, therefore, my thoughts are clearly left to their own demise.
Some might think I’m crazy, but in my mind, it’s perfectly natural to whistle [and, sometimes, when I don't think the dogs and cat are around, I'll even burst out singing] “Plop! Plop! Fizz! Fizz! Oh, what a relief it is!” while I’m scrubbing the tub or swishing the toilet bowl. I’m really not as demented as that sounds. Really, I’m not.
The part that drives me crazy is that once I get one of these jingles into my head, I can’t get it to leave! You have to know what I’m talking about, yes? Just in case you don’t, and since we are a kind people here at the Farmstead, I thought I’d share with you some of the top ten jingles that can just make you crazy. That cover-your-ears-with-your-hands-and-shout-make-it-stop! kind of crazy.
In no particular order, of course. Ready?
Don’t hate me for this.
You promise?
1. Chili’s Baby Back Ribs ~ “I want my baby back baby back baby back…ribs. I want my baby back baby back baby back…ribs. I want my…”
2. Dr. Pepper ~ “I’m a pepper, he’s a pepper, she’s a pepper, we’re a pepper. Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper, too? Be a pepper. Drink Dr. Pepper.”
3. McDonald’s Big Mac ~ “Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions…all on a sesame seed bun!” I can still remember thinking my older brother was a genius for being able to rattle that off like nothin’, while I couldn’t get past ‘special sauce’ without messing up. How patient ~ or not! ~ our parents were…having to listen to us kids in the back seat all the way to Grandma’s house…125 miles away. [Don't worry, Mom. Our two boys, our baby geniuses, have paid me back many-a-time on road trips when they were little!]
4. Band-Aid ~ “I am stuck on Band-Aid, cuz Band-Aid’s stuck on me!”
5. Ragu Sauce ~ “I feel like chicken tonight! Chicken tonight!” [Sometimes, when the dogs and cat are around, I'll chase them with my flapping chicken arms while singing this one.]
6. Folgers ~ “The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup.”
7. Ace Hardware ~ “Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man!” [I love my own Mr. Fix-It Man, though.]
8. Keebler Tato Skins ~ “New Tato Skins got baked potato appeal, cuz they’re made with potatoes and skins that are real. Cheddar cheese and bacon…sour cream and chives…tasty baked potato, you won’t believe your eyes!”
9. Big Red Gum ~ “So kiss a little longer, hold hands a little longer, hold tight a little longer. Longer with Big Red. That Big Red freshness lasts right through it. Your fresh breath goes on and on…” [Go ahead. Finish it. I know you know the words!]
10. Oscar Mayer Bologna ~ I just can’t close out the list without including this one! I mean, seriously. To this day, I cannot write ‘bologna’ on the grocery list without singing the spelling of that word! Go ahead and tell me that you can. But, I won’t believe you! Here we go, “My bologna has a first name. It’s O-s-c-a-rrrrrrr. My bologna has a second name. It’s M-a-y-e-rrrrrrrr. Ohhhhhh, I love to eat it every day, and if you ask me ‘why’, I’ll sayyyyyyy…cuz Oscar Mayer has a way with b-o-l-o-g-n-a! How’s that?!”
I love you guys! [Bwahahahahaha!] ♥

What pray tell have you been up to…seems like my DAUGHTER is living in a world that only I wish I could find! What’s with the smoke alarm…did you put some goodies on to cook and went to clean the “potty”? ha, ha! So you get “heartburn” too…Are you thinking of what the future might bring and don’t want to face it? I get these little jingles in my so called brain…when I go to bed…no wonder there is not very much rest during the night…walls do talk…and tato skins…I can’t even imagine you would eat such a thing with all the home made wonders that I have been able to sample! What’s with the kiss? I don’t even know what that word means anymore…last, but not least, “baloney” on it all…let’s make the MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR…MAY WE ALL STICK TOGETHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN…
Hmmmm…well…it could be a side effect of all the varnish fumes, paint fumes, mineral spirits fumes, oven cleaner fumes and tall ladders where the air is too thin?? Or, it could be a spontaneous explosion of comic relief, which is better than an implosion. That ain’t perty, at all.
No, no smoke alarms lately. I don’t think I’ve set it off in the last couple of weeks, at least. Something bubbled over in the oven, hence the oven cleaner fumes. It seems everything has a ripple effect these days. Heehee!
this is what is in my head most of the days buddie. LOL
My bologna has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R
My bologna has a second name, it’s M-A-Y-E-R
Oh, I love to eat it everyday,
And if you ask me why I’ll say. . .
‘Cuz Oscar Mayer has a way. . .
With B-O-L-O-G-N-A.
My younger dd (Khori) used to run around the house singing the ragu commercial when it first came out,she was about two and would sing at the top of her lungs,”I feel like kicken tonight,like kicken tonight!”Lol
Thanks for the memories,
Love and God bless,
helen
Hi Helen! I am absolutely delighted about your visit and that you’re able to now leave comments. Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I can’t quit giggling about Khori singing kicken instead of chicken ~ that had to be a complete crack-up! Heehee!
Hugs, love and prayers to you, as always, Dear One.
