a chronicle of song snippets

Here are some of the more memorable snippets of songs from a couple of the DVDs which played at my house while Mom and Dad were visiting. Maybe by sharing them online, I'll be able to get them out of my head. So, no more dilly-dallyin' let's get started.

"Gotta crawl, gotta crawl, gotta crawl, to the ugly bug ball, to the ball, to the ball, and a happy time we'll have there, one and all, at the ugly bug ball."

"No shilly-shallyin', no dilly-dallyin', let's have a drink on it now!"

"Detrooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, detrooooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, DetrOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT!"

"What's wrong with that?!"

"There are those, I suppose."

"You must walk feminine, talk feminine, smile and be girl feminine. Maximize your femininity, if you want to catch a beau... Let him do the talking, men adore good listeners. Laugh, but not loudly, if by chance he tells a joke."

"And she thinks she's the pink of perfection" with the resulting, "She's not knock-kneed Nancy."

"I'm just a little black rain cloud, hovering under a honey tree. I'm just a little black rain cloud, pay no attention to little me."

"Up, down, turn around it puts me in the mood. for food.. I improve my appetite when I excercise."

"You must be oh-so, mysterioso. ... to the rythm of by-um-pum-pum."

"Fortuosity, that's me by-word... and leave the rest to for-tu-o-si-ty."

Believe it or not, these all came from only three DVDs. I'll give you a brownie point if you can match the song with the movie. The movies are:
The happiest millionaire
Summer Magic
Winnie the Pooh

It would be cheating for me to participate, since I about have them memorized as well... I sang one of the Pooh songs to Mr. Shakespear today, and every time the wind blows, I think it's 'Windsday.' It was a rather blustery day in Colorado when we drove through both going and coming! What on earth did we do to us? :>)

I've found the need to find a distraction or two myself. I think our readjustment was harder than yours.
