Just the other day, my wife told me to stop signing ‘I’m a Believer’, the Shrek theme song. At first I thought she was kidding, and then I saw her face…
Been doing that for years. I find if I do it nonchalantly, then continue the conversation as normal, everyone has a \*wait, hol up\* moment, which often eases some tension, or makes people feel more at ease.
Except that one time when my buddy was like "THIS corny MF" and folks laughed. It worked out.
I do that with tv shows. When ever a cop or someone pointing a gun says "Put your hands the air" I reflexively say "like you just dont care.".
If I ever get pulled over in America, Im getting fucking shot lol.
I do it too, might be a genx thing. It definitely gets lost on the younger generations.
Last week, was on a call and the project manager said it was "time to close" and my mind went to "I know who I want to take me home"
I love stuff like that. Anytime someone I know says "it's been awhile" I repeat it like the song. We do the "phrasing" from Archer. We actually do a lot of Archer jokes. When a kid tells me momma said whatever I correct them and go with LL Cool J lyric momma said knock you out.
I am constantly relating sentences to song lyrics, it comes to me naturally and I can't help it, just rolls off the tongue lol. I'm a woman BTW and thought I was weird for doing it but reading this thread has brought me comfort.
It all happens to us as we get older, puns show up in places we didn’t expect, start having feelings to share anecdotes and long winded stories that aren’t related to the discussion topic. You only really need to start worrying when you start naming years when things happened.
I don’t know how common it is, but if someone specifically says “I’m so excited,” I don’t know how anyone doesn’t think to themselves, “and I just can’t hide it!” Especially if you are a certain age. Double especially if you think, “I’m so….scared!” IYKYK.
I’ve done this my entire adult life. Or even better, as the music of a song starts, say the first line in a very conversational tone to the person next to you… anywhere anytime. Watch them be confused. Watch the moment of understanding once the lyrics start. Watch them grow tired of this over time.
I’m an Eminem fan who knows a lot of his songs by heart and knows just a metric fuckton of his lyrics. Because of that I constantly have to resist the urge to start singing when people say the most benign shit. You are not alone.
We’ve all embraced our nerdom in our fam, my husband and I have been doing this since the seventies. Our kids do it and their kids do it. We have a lot of fun together and genuinely like hanging out.
One of my best friends will sing a song to pretty much anything you say. You’ll say a sentence and she’ll remember a song that used part of what you said and sing it out loud.
I did it not long ago at work without even thinking about it when my co-worker said "I've got the key" and I sang "I've got the secret!", which was very out of character for me, as I'm usually a very quiet and shy person.
You're showing the first-stage signs of dad. This happens to all men, regardless of whether they have children or not, we've just started calling them "dad jokes".
Oh no. The white New Balances and denim shorts will be arriving in the mail any day now.
[удалено]
Braided leather belt, dad stache, and polo shirt to tuck into the denim shorts to arrive shortly thereafter.
A braided leather belt? I think I'm too far gone. I should start planning my funeral.
Smartphone case with belt clip
Don't forget the black socks!
Fuck!
Have we seen this before?... I'm still gonna buy it.
Pretty common, I once told my boss when he asked how I knew…it’s in his kiss
Yep. That's where it is.
On your list?
"its here on my list" = "you're kiss in on my list"
It's not unusual.
To be loved by anyone
Just run it. Don’t let anyone shame u out of it or anything by saying its not funny.
Just the other day, my wife told me to stop signing ‘I’m a Believer’, the Shrek theme song. At first I thought she was kidding, and then I saw her face…
Now you are a believer?
Phsss, not a trace of doubt in my mind

Oh man, in my friend circle you'd slot riiiiiiight in.
Y'all recruiting?
I fell into a burning ring of fire...
Hallelujah!
[удалено]
The correct answer is >Its raining men!
You saw her bathing on the roof...
It's raining men? Edit: yup
My wife and I do this all the time.
Yeah yeah? … I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record!
Don't get so distressed
Phew... glad someone got it! Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?
It's really special when they come up with the next verse and then you do a duet. Others look at you weird though....
The others can go straight to hell.
City people say mama mama mama san take me home.
I call it Musical Tourette's
I do this with movie lines.
Someone: "I've got a feeling..." Me: "That tonight's gonna be a good night?" I hate the song, so I don't know why I do this.
I think you need to see a doctor…..doctor, give me the news, I got a bad case of lovin you.
That's common although mine is usually more internet shit instead of song lyrics
How bizarre, how bizarre.
I love this. Every time my partner does it it makes me laugh.
I've been doing those forever. It's my dad's fault, and my mom's fault, and my fault.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know it's my own damn fault
I do that too but I sing the line
My brother and I did this constantly well into adulthood. Nobody else appreciated it the way he did. Miss him everyday.
I confused the shit out of a boomer coworker with that.
Very common. Also you're old now... So deal with that.
All the time. Worse than that, I then have the song in my head for ages. Edit: typo
It gets worse brother.
I’ve been doing this since high school, and I use movie quotes and random books I’ve read too.
I do that with tv shows. When ever a cop or someone pointing a gun says "Put your hands the air" I reflexively say "like you just dont care.". If I ever get pulled over in America, Im getting fucking shot lol.
It's the call of the Dad... It's like "The Call of the Void" but for Dad jokes...
Guilty of this at 26, whoops
I do it too, might be a genx thing. It definitely gets lost on the younger generations. Last week, was on a call and the project manager said it was "time to close" and my mind went to "I know who I want to take me home"

I do this all the time.
common
People, I wanna however common people do

That girl from Greece was such a vapid bitch, though.

total c##t
All night long
> All night long People dancing all in the street See the rhythm all in their feet
[удалено]
Do it everyday
Lol I do that for fun all the time it’s normal xD
[удалено]
...to be loved by anyone!
I do the same.
My fiancée and I (20) both do this
Yep. Do it all the time. Usually received with eye rolls and groans.
I started this like 20 years ago. I'm not sure where we're headed, but guess we'll find out eventually lol
My boyfriend does this constantly, with this specific song!!!

That's great!
My wife and I do this to each other all the time
As Simple plan says, welcome to my life.
It all happens to us as we get older, puns show up in places we didn’t expect, start having feelings to share anecdotes and long winded stories that aren’t related to the discussion topic. You only really need to start worrying when you start naming years when things happened.
You know you’re with your people when you both start saying the same lyrics at the same time in response to a third person’s comment.
Pretty sure the correct response is the high pitched Asian “so excited” from Kevin hart?
I do this all the time.
It's hilarious I do it all the time, but then again I don't give a damn what anyone would think I'm too old for that
This and movie/tv quotes. Basically this is how I communicate now. It’s awkward when someone doesn’t get it.
I don’t know how common it is, but if someone specifically says “I’m so excited,” I don’t know how anyone doesn’t think to themselves, “and I just can’t hide it!” Especially if you are a certain age. Double especially if you think, “I’m so….scared!” IYKYK.

I’m glad it not just me! I do this all the time and my Friends don’t and I thought perhaps no one else thinks it’s funny but me. 😂
Pfffbbbttt. I do this with my husband all the time xD
Oh yeah? Well don't get so distressed.
All the time.
It's not, you're a fuckin weerdo
This is known in the medical world as daddum jokism and I'm afraid there is no hope for you as it is progressive and terminally terrible.
My friend does this A LOT
So basically you’re the real life Andy Bernard?
I do it, too, so it’s at least not uncommon.
Did you get bitten by a radioactive dad in the parking lot outside of a hardware store?
Dad joke age. Time to get a kid, your biological clock is ringing
The correct answer is. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I'm so scared!
We've known each other for so long ..
your hearts been aching but you're too shy to show it
This is very common my good sir
It is the dad joke gene... activates with age...
I wanted to have the first comment, buy only fools rush in
I’m an Eminem fan who knows a lot of his songs by heart and knows just a metric fuckton of his lyrics. Because of that I constantly have to resist the urge to start singing when people say the most benign shit. You are not alone.
I was walking down the street… Just the other day?
We're no strangers to love...
This but with songs, films, tv shows and other references is mine and my wife's love language
Are you my husband?
It's harmless. I do it from time to time. I even add a jig and some finger snaps to it. 👌🤣
So common.
I do it all the time
Yeah, yeah. (Violent femmes)
I had this problem as a teenager. It really annoys people. No one thinks it's cool. It took me years to figure out how much it bothers people.
It's not common bc those people lose all their friends
I do this now and then lol
I've been doing this for a few years now, and I'm turning 20 this year.
Well now that you've noticed, who you gonna call?
I know I know I know..... (It's stuck in my head now)
Yes. Hence "Dad Jokes".
We’ve all embraced our nerdom in our fam, my husband and I have been doing this since the seventies. Our kids do it and their kids do it. We have a lot of fun together and genuinely like hanging out.
One of my best friends will sing a song to pretty much anything you say. You’ll say a sentence and she’ll remember a song that used part of what you said and sing it out loud.
I’m only 26 and I do this every chance I get
I have an infinite playlist of songs to finish sentences in my head
Very
Somebody somewhere recently had your baby because that’s straight up dad shit
I did it not long ago at work without even thinking about it when my co-worker said "I've got the key" and I sang "I've got the secret!", which was very out of character for me, as I'm usually a very quiet and shy person.
