Fortunately there was some good vintage Chicago on the radio to counteract it.

Take that!

Rats. I was gonna sing for you. Sure, it would scar you for life, and possibly make you run screaming, but it would have cured you of the loop. And there's nothing wrong with become a hermit the rest of your life! Well, maybe next time...

Don't worry, be happy!

Don't look!

What? There's a problem with being happy?

Squeeee! Who knew that another favorite jiggy tune starred my favorite Superman and my favorite alien? So many of these tunes I knew mostly from radio, and hadn't seen the videos to. I'm very happy!

I spent an hour's drive on Thanksgiving humming "Winter Wonderland" to myself.

Now I'll probably have it stuck in my head again....

Sing row row your boat a couple of times, I don't know why, but that always cures my ear worms

Superman? I just see Robin Williams and Bill Irwin.
Bill Irwin does look sort of Clark Kentish though.

badgoodDeb · 12-08-2014, 02:41 PM

Really? That's not Christopher Reeve? Huh.

WT Sharpe · 12-08-2014, 02:44 PM

I didn't watch the video, but I remember Christopher Reeves and Robin Williams being in it.

EDIT: Bobby McFerrin's own site says Bill Irwin. So why did I think for all these years that it was Christopher Reeves?

That is Bill Irwin who now plays on Sesame Street as Mr. Noodle in the Elmo's World bit.

badgoodDeb · 12-08-2014, 03:59 PM

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was Christopher Reeves!

I thought it for years—right up until today.

^ Well, isn't this thread just helpful?

Bill Irwin was also in Robin Williams' Popeye movie. And I remember him doing a comedy routine on PBS with a very tall unicycle back in the 80s.
