Please kill my earworm !

[ButtercupKid]

I’ve got part of a song stuck in my head. It’s a comic song about doing something in the park (stop sniggering at the back there !) - picking flowers or something. I thought it might be Monty Python but it doesn’t seem to be and I can’t track it down. Please, someone, put me out of my misery and tell me what it is !

Worth a go here it is

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I'm determined not to open this, in case it gets stuck in my head!

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Jell6]

🤣🤣🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate in reply to Jell6]

Sensible choice Jell6 - I just had a listen and may never recover!

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

🤣🤣🤣

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

No, that’s definitely not it. I’m thinking anarchic ? Thanks for trying though 😀

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

I see Buddy’s bid and raise it! Could it be Tom Lehrer’s Poisonings Pigeons in the Park? I’d add a link but haven’t worked out how to do it - but you’ll find it on YouTube if you dare!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

That’s IT ! Thanks so much ! No idea why it came to mind while I was running in the park. We have ducks, not pigeons 😄

[Oldgirlruns Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

😂

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Never heard that before🤣

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Very funny, in a seriously dark sort of way.

[Comfortnotspeed in reply to Buddy34]

Oh. My grandfather used to sing it to me sweetly as a child... Explain a lot 😩

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Ooh I have never heard that before😆..can see why you thought it might have been Monty Python now😀xxx

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Seemed the right general direction 😄

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I love that song!!!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I might have guessed 😄

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Oooh is it...

where have all the flowers gone...long time passing

Where have all the flowers gone

Long time ago

Where have all the flowers gone

Young maids picked them everyone!

When will they ever learn

When will they e-e-e -e -ver learn😍

🌷🌷🌷🌷

I know it isn't 😉😊xxx

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

No, it wasn’t. But thanks for trying ! 😀

[Alast in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Oh no! that's taken me right back to the Children's Favourites radio (or should that be wireless?) programme on Saturday morning...

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Alast]

What kind of children would pick something that miserable ?!!

[Alast in reply to ButtercupKid]

But it was grim growing up in the early 60's. Everything was in black & white for a start!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Alast]

All the more reason to put cheerful songs on, I would have thought. Not The Laughing Policeman though - that’s just creepy 😂

[Alast in reply to ButtercupKid]

Perhaps that's why my wife uses it as the ringtone when I call her?

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Alast]

I think you’d need to check that out with a psychiatrist. Or maybe just ask your wife ? 😄

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

What a lovely voice you have Bbr🎵🎶🎼

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

How about a kiss in the dark, a walk in the park, but there again, not sure about flowers 💐 👍💐

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

No, don’t think I know that one. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[Speedy60 Graduate]

Flowers in the Rain by The Move?

[Speedy60 Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Oow, I'm way behind, sorry. Love Tom Lehrah 👍

[Alast in reply to Speedy60]

The first song played on Radio 1!

[Speedy60 Graduate in reply to Alast]

Way before my time. 🤥

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Alast]

Flowers in the Rain ? Or Poisoning Pigeons in the Park ? Before my time too - just 😄

[Comfortnotspeed]

It’s not about poisoning pigeons in the park is it?

No pigeons were injured in writing this. 😳

[Comfortnotspeed in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

How out of date am I with this reply? Embracing my brain tortoise 🐢😃

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

There is an element of that in it, but I’m not advocating violence to pigeons or any other species. I even rescue wasps myself 😄

[Comfortnotspeed in reply to ButtercupKid]

Lol! I remembered the rhyme of trynhide with cyanide. Which now won’t get out of my head!!!!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Why was school chemistry never this much fun ? 😂
