15 SECOND THEMES: THE POINSETTIA BOWL
We walk around singing little songs in our head all day. For instance, one that’s haunted us for years has been the imaginary song “No Free Sex (for the chinese businessman)”. Get a Bee Gees/Jamiroquai hopstep playing in the background, a driving funk bass line, and sing this across the top in a disco falsetto and you’ve got the idea.
No free sex! For the Chi-nese business-mayun!
He’s got to pay! (He’s got to pay!)
He’s got to pay! (He’s got to pay!)
Every day (Every day)
Every day (Every day)
Repeat until funky, and you’ll get the idea. That particular one’s been playing in our heads for eight years, but that’s normal, right?
We do this far too often to be considered healthy, so we put down the mini-song that should be the 15 second theme song they play for the Poinsettia Bowl inbetween each break. Remember: it’s the Poinsettia Bowl. Do not let your pets eat it, or they will die.

I meant “earworm,” of course. Because songs aren’t creatures that go in your ear. (If songs were creatures that go in your ear, that 3EB song from earlier in this thread would be the mini-space-lobster from Wrath of Khan.)

Pants, re: 11&12 - sorry for the lateness of my reply. It’s the plot-crucial earwig from The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester. But Nitzer Ebb should cover it. Right up their alley.

Oren @23 - hey, that really worked. So does the Marseillaise, if you’re a cheese-eating surrender monkey.

All-purpose cure for songs in your head: the theme from “Sanford and Son.” Fun fact: Quincy Jones wrote it.

Can’t believe I paused my Pandora to listen to that.
Oh well, I’m just pretending to work today anyway.

It is one starter and one true freshman backup, who saw most of his action on ST. Luckily, the defensive secondary is one of our deepest positions and Jenkins is still there. But, it definitely won’t help.
