This darned song has been going through my head lately, and I CAN’T GET IT OUT! I haven’t heard it in years either, so there’s absolutely NO REASON for this..
"Be nice and clean.."
I have a sad story to tell you,
It may hurt your feelings a bit.
Last night, when I walked into my bathroom,
I stepped in a big pile of…
Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
Shave every day, and you’ll always look keen.
I think I’ll break off with my girlfriend,
Her antics are queer, I’ll admit.
Each time I say “Darling, I love you,”
She tells me that I’m full of…
Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
Shave every day, and you’ll always look keen.
Our baby fell out of the window,
You’d think that her head would be split.
But good luck was with her that morning,
She fell in a barrel of…
Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
Shave every day, and you’ll always look keen.
An old lady died in her bathtub,
she died from a terrible fit.
In order to fulfill her wishes,
she was buried in six feet of…
Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
Shave every day, and you’ll always look keen.
When I was in France with the Army,
One day I looked into my kit.
I thought I would find me a sandwich,
But the darn thing was loaded with…
Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
Shave every day, and you’ll always look keen.
And now, folks, my story is ended.
I think it is time I should quit.
If any of you feel offended,
Stick your head in a barrel of…
Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
Shave every day, and you’ll always look keen.
(Thanks, Benny Bell! RIP)

Luckily, I don’t know the tune, so it’s not stuck in my head.
However, I learned a great way to get a song OUT of your head…just sing the last few lines or verse out loud and end it with a huge flourish: “…always look KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!! ta-DAHHHH!!!” and then do a drum roll and bow to accept the applause. The song will stop playing in your head after that.
I tried it and it worked! But now the fecking drum roll is stuck..
Ya gotta make the drum roll with your hands. Are your hands stuck in the drum roll? That could be problematic if you’re at work, or, say, welding something.
I-I-I’M NNNOT AT WORKKKKK..
WHICH ISSSS G-G-G-G-GOOOOOOOODDDD..
Like the picture. It’s one of the best pics of you I’ve ever seen.
What song is this? curious minds want to know.
Benny Bell wrote this song in the forties,
he thought it was going to hit..
but when people heard it on the radio,
they realized it was nothing but..
SHAVING CREAM.. etc..

That’s actually coffeesister during one of her fits.
SHIT, you found me out..
Ah ha! Ok! Just had to know lol.
My mom often sang this when I was younger. WHY would you put this back in my brain, WHY??
Contrary to popular belief, it’s”>http://www.wordspy.com/words/earworm.asp“>it’s called an ear worm, not earwig.

Man, that brings back memories of Sunday nights in my high school days, lying in bed listening to Dr. Demento. Good times.
Tell your mom her darned check bounced! She needs to wire me the payment now.
I didn’t.. did I? And you need html help.. bribe Rene.. or Jerry.
YES! ME TOO!! Whatever happened to him?
Another Dr. Demento nerd here, former listener from my younger days. Now I see what brings us together.
I believe he’s still on the air somewhere. Heard him in some small town we stopped in once.
I wanted to BE Dr. Demento when I grew up. I guess I succeeded, sans the radio part.
