“Mom, I know two songs that really get on people’s nerves. Wanna hear?”

*UPDATE: If you really want to know:

“Blah Bliddy Blip Blop”—must be sung in an excruciating operatic voice; consists of strings of high-pitched nonsense syllables.

And the accurately named “This Song Gets on People’s Nerves”—lyrics same as title, in a low monotone, endlessly repeating.

Be glad you can’t hear the demo. One Hundred Bottles of Beer on the Wall never sounded so good.

   Aren’t you gonna tell us what songs they are? For research purposes, of course. Not so we could annoy anyone with them.

   I thought it was just my children! They sing “I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves, everybody’s nerves, everybody’s nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves and this is how it goes.
   (pause for beat)
   I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves, everybody’s nerves, everybody’s nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves and this is how it goes.
   (pause for beat)
   Repeat until Mother shrieks.

   The problem is that their tune is NOT monotone, it’s actually kind of catchy and then it goes through my head the rest of the day. A grievious act of cranial terrorism, IMO.

   We get the exact same song as the deputy headmistress. I’m guessing she is in the US and we are in the UK, thereby proving that it is sufficiently infectious to spread internationally. Why????
