Very relatable. I’ve accidentally said parts of this song out loud without realizing it on multiple occasions.
Just workshop sounds and suddenly I’m like “the TROMPETS” and everyone looks at me and I realize what I had done. The specific hahaha also escaped a few times but I was only asked what was funny
I have to live with Sisqo’s Thong Song sometimes.
Lou Bega does that weird roar
It’s a good roar
Stephen King would laugh his ass off. (He got so addicted to the song, Tabitha about left him. Stuck with him through the booze and cocaine, drove her batshit with Mambo #5.)
Memorizing names couldn’t be easier. Use mnemonics, the more absurd, the better.
For example; You meet a guy named Mike. Picture Mike, right then and there, jamming a huge microphone down his throat. Guy named Scott? Imagine him with a talking Scotty dog head. Take several seconds and concentrate on the image. It’ll sink in permanently, I promise.
New acquaintance: “Why the Hell are you staring at me like that…? What’s wrong with you?”
Me? Nothing. You’re the one deepthroating a microphone.
Tell 'em straight up, “Hold on. Memorizing your name. OK. Done. Hi Mike! I’m Scott, think of my head as a talking Scotty dog. Now we’ll never forget each other!” And you won’t.
Got anything for Simon?
Picture a disciple of Jesus washing your feet with his hair and grinning up at you. Done!
Crazier, better.
but then I gotta remember the names of the disciples of Jesus ://
what if I accidentally call him Judas?
By the time I took several seconds to concentrate on that they already walked away and think I am an idiot, rightfully so.
Okay, but what if I meet someone named Shit-eating-Greg-who-fucked-all-the-chickens?
Then you already have a mnemonic. I’ll leave it up to your imagination.
thats a made up name
Nah, Greg is just short for Gregory - it’s not a common name any more, but it’s definitely a real name.
i knew a guy name gregorny
If it were me, would’ve ended with me happily singing along with my brain, oblivious to the information I failed to retain.
I couldn’t remember my wife’s name until about 3 months into dating…
Brain know names not good…
I can definitely relate with ThE TrUmPeTs
I can never hear Mambo No. 5 without thinking about this piece of television brilliance:
TURN IT OFF!!!
There’s a group of names I put to this song so I could remember the order, and I still sing it to myself (like the alphabet song) when needed
I just incorporate their name into Mambo No. 5, replacing the ones in the song as needed. 🤷🏻♂️
a little bit of kolanak in the sun
Well i can neither recollect the names of real live people nor the lyrics of mambo number 5
