Ok, it's not really to do with er, classical music, but it's really addictive:

There was this competition on my local radio station a few days ago and it was matching songs with proffesions, or what people would wake up with in their heads!

For example:

Postman : Return to Sender, Address Unknown

Psychiatrist (dunno how u spell it): Closest thing to Crazy

Train Driver : Sound of the Underground

Got anymore ideas?

Ciao!

p.s. I mean thinking not 'thining' [typing error]

Well, I can't think of any at the moment, but now I have "Closest thing to crazy" in my head.

I LOVE that song, which is probably a good thing since I'm a Psychotherapist & Counsellor!!!!

Oooh oooh oooh. Thought of one... but, its technically a nursery rhyme really...
Baker - Pat-a-cake

Philatelist - "Stuck On You"?!?!?!?!

And for people in the tourism industry - "Hotel California", and "Heartbreak Hotel".

People who work at a theme park: "Rollercoaster" That really old B*witched song I listened to for ages, aged about 10...

I remember that song, I found their old album a couple of days ago come to think of it...

I listened to the Bewitched stuff recently, I thought it was rather good fun.

Why not turn this into a game, one person gives a job, then the next person has to think of a song to match up with it, and then has to name a job again. I, of course, couldn't take part, because of the delay with the moderated posts, but I could still enjoy all your answers!


Speaking of which,

fairground ride operator: Dizzy (vic reeves)
Nanny or Au pair: We will rock you (queen) <-- taking the name of the song out of context there!

By the way, this may have been on your local radio station, but this game's been played on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue (ISIHAC) on Radio 4 for years and years. It's the greatest radio show ever.

QUOTE (Subatomic_Star @ Jan 19 2005, 06:01 PM)

Gardener: Cauliflowers fluffy

quoi??

I think it's the children's harvest song called "Paint-box"-

Cauliflowers fluffy, and cabbages green
Strawberries sweeter than any I've seen
(something...) and onions fat,
Radishes round and runner beans flat
The apples are ripe, the plums are red
Broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed.

There are two more verses but that's all I can remember- I sang it once in about Year 2!

I sung that when I was in year 2. And its one of the only songs I remember from primary school!

The 'something' is "beetroots purple"

ahhh OK

I never did that one, though I vaguely remember one about oats and barley!

I've started thinking about the song with the Clover advert.

'with crusty rolls, bagels..lalalalala
oh we all love clover
all over this land......'
