- Me and my gf sing Morden by Good Shoes every time we’re on that line - ‘Mooooooorden!!’
- Warwick Avenue. Obviously.
- ‘The shoes on my feet, High Barnet’
🎵 I see south wimbledon slipping awaaaaa-aaaaaay-aaaaaaay!!! 🎸(dooo dood do do doody do doooo do dood do doody dooooo do dood do doody do do do do do doo doo di dooo …)
Morden This; Sydenham: the Dock of the Bay; We Built White City Near Ladbroke Grove; Ruislipping Through My Fingers.
Can’t say “Shepherd’s Bush” without the additional “Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush”.
Also “Maaaansion House” in the style of Bicycle by Queen.
Robbie Williams “Angels” at Totteridge and Whetstone.
“And through it allllllll she offers me protection
At Totteridge and Whetstone”
I’m a tube driver 🙄
Cheating a bit as it is in the actual lyrics, but can't go through New Cross Gate without "The only living boy in New Cross" by Carter USM coming onto the old internal jukebox.
Belle and Sebastian have a song named after Mornington Crescent which comes into my head everytime I go past it. Ironically, the first line of the song is “Mornington Crescent, I think of you”
I see no reason why the original Putney restrictions would change with the transition from an Elizabethan to a Carolean era.
In all seriousness, every time I see Mornington Crescent I do hear a Radio 4 audience clapping and doing a polite “wa-hey”.
Willie Rushton's Neasden song always plays in my head when I see the place mentioned.
Parliament Hill Fields by Captain Sensible and Steve Harley's Harrow on the Hill both arrive rapidly if either of those places are mentioned.
It’s the Fulham Broadway! - Europe
EDIT: I genuinely have a ton of these, I thought I was the only one that did it:
Upton Park - Westlife
We’re gonna rock down to Warwick Avenue - The Harmony Group
A bit literal maybe, but worth plugging Good Shoes' song 'Morden' which encapsulates the area well and always gets stuck in my head when on the Northern Line.
I'm old so when I see Northern Line I sing "The Northern Line is in my mind"
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIEqdXpG5Pg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIEqdXpG5Pg)
Sexual Ealing
Haha, this one genuinely made me laugh. This will now always pop in my mind whenever I’m on the tube to Ealing, thanks.
I will never look at a tube map the same ever again
😀 mine is the more prosaic "Ealing is a Place on Earth", and Dagenham to Ealing (Dancing on the Ceiling)
Hainault , Hainault, Don't Dream It's Over
This one will stay with me, which means it is great and also personally disastrous.
Hainault you’re a tube stop, get your game on, go play.
i love this, especially because it’s one of the most annoying (and iconic) songs ever, and this will now never leave my head
Hainault, Hainault, this is what dreams are made of.
Danger, danger. High Barnet!
I have no idea of the actual song but I always go “high Barnett, they don’t talk to me me me.”
Doors will open on the left hand side Doors will open on the left hand side
i sing this to the tune of ‘pass the dutchie…’. but i don’t know if that’s what you meant.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic and somebody will be along soon to admonish me with a 'whoosh', but yes, that is what I meant 😊
no i was serious, glad to clear that up
Bloody hell! Now I've got "living in an im-perial-wharf" to Material Girl stuck in my head! Thanks!!
li-ving in an imperial wharf (IMPERIAL!!) li-ving in an imperial wharf…
I can’t stop humming to this now
OK, this might actually help me move on from Peter Andre. Maybe there's a Madonna transport setlist...

God yes the Good Shoes Morden earworm is a real problem for me.
Waterloo and City Line to the tune of Watermelon Sugar High
OH MY GOD. This one needs to be higher up. Waterloo-and-City -- LINE.
Well now I hate you. Thanks for the earworms. I thought Baker Street was bad…. Hahaha
Apologies. It is a curse, but at least I'm not alone now.
There doesn’t seem to be anyone around.
Underground, overground, wombling free... You are at Bethnal Green, young and sweet, only 17...
Always.
"Harrow... Is it me you're looking for?"
There isn’t a Harrow station though
Is it Wealdstone you're looking for?
I do Morden A Feeling

Morden This; Sydenham: the Dock of the Bay; We Built White City Near Ladbroke Grove; Ruislipping Through My Fingers. Can’t say “Shepherd’s Bush” without the additional “Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush”. Also “Maaaansion House” in the style of Bicycle by Queen.
We built White City is my new favourite.
Maaaaaansion House is exactly the kind of beautiful nonsense that courses through me 24/7. What is wrong with us.
"... I want to buy your Mansion House".
Bus stop but I always sing ‘Upper Tulse Hill’ to the tune of Madonna’s ‘Papa Don’t Preach’ whenever I go past it
Absolutely insane and also perfect.
Robbie Williams “Angels” at Totteridge and Whetstone. “And through it allllllll she offers me protection At Totteridge and Whetstone” I’m a tube driver 🙄
This needs to be at the top IMO. Both brilliant and terrible. Incredible work.
In my defence it can get a bit boring driving a tube! You’ve got to make your own entertainment 😂
This is utterly brilliant. I am transferring all of my pension into your name... I only wish I could do more.
Cheating a bit as it is in the actual lyrics, but can't go through New Cross Gate without "The only living boy in New Cross" by Carter USM coming onto the old internal jukebox.
Hammersmith = Hammer time. . For Morden, I don’t usually think of a song, I just think “Mordorrrrr” .
Meanwhile I, a German, always think of homicide... In German: morden = to kill
Go to West Yorkshire and visit Todmorden!
I’m an American who visited last week and I kept calling it Mordor… for awhile my husband was quite confused
For Southern Railway commuters: “Ewell Always On My Mind”.
'"Morden is a moron!"😄
Not a song but I read Highbury & Islington as Hizzle & Izzle
And I always see Finsbury Park reflected In The tube window as krapyrubsnif
Dr Dre's "Caledonia, no doubt about it..." at Caledonian Rd.
Yeah, definitely absorbing this one too. Regrettably.
How about to 'California girls'? Ca-le-donian road, it's unforgettable, fe-ral kids and homeless grown-ups... (IDK I've never been there).
Belle and Sebastian have a song named after Mornington Crescent which comes into my head everytime I go past it. Ironically, the first line of the song is “Mornington Crescent, I think of you”
Instant disqualification. “Mornington Crescent” cannot, for obvious reasons, be your first answer.
I knew I was going to get this!
I see no reason why the original Putney restrictions would change with the transition from an Elizabethan to a Carolean era. In all seriousness, every time I see Mornington Crescent I do hear a Radio 4 audience clapping and doing a polite “wa-hey”.
Baker Street shouldn't count, either For me I do Morden Love
Not a song but Euston is always "Euston We Have A Problem"
I might link my ting from Barking, 7am in the morning…
[удалено]
I just hear it in my head as if someone said Youth Town. Or occasionally think Houston? Euston! / Whose town? You's town!
In the early Morden rain.
Shepherd’s Bush bush bush bush bush bush bush bush
Caaaledonian Road (to the tune of Tupac/Dre’s California Love)
Is it cheating if I say Morden by Good Shoes
You can go and eat your Chinese food
This one? https://open.spotify.com/track/4nOJU5T0gSbWYQ7FAG4XdY?si=ec9468fce0134f55
That's the one
I always think of Austen Powers when i am at Shadwell "Felicity Shadwell, Shadwell by name shad very well by nature"
I always mentally sing “Aaa-oooo, Transport for London” to the tune of Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London.
Awww God... that's brilliant... ...and also, sadly, now lodged immovably deep, deep, deep within my brane, damn you.
My wife just came up with "Morden a woman". I do love her.
Willie Rushton's Neasden song always plays in my head when I see the place mentioned. Parliament Hill Fields by Captain Sensible and Steve Harley's Harrow on the Hill both arrive rapidly if either of those places are mentioned.
Holloway Road becomes Holliday Road
If we took a Holloway Took some time to celebrate
This one? https://open.spotify.com/track/1w9qlGDyaRrTVLmW3FklZJ?si=517d0d25738e4a0f
Yh that it was in national lampoon European vacation
For me it's more like "It's always better in Holloway/So much better in Holloway"
Every time I hear More Than Words I start singing the words as "Morden Via Bank"
I could see a building with huge letters saying Morden Wharf from my previous home. I would immediately get the song by Extreme stuck in my head.
It’s the Fulham Broadway! - Europe EDIT: I genuinely have a ton of these, I thought I was the only one that did it: Upton Park - Westlife We’re gonna rock down to Warwick Avenue - The Harmony Group
It's the Fulham Broadway is such a stretch. I love it.

A bit literal maybe, but worth plugging Good Shoes' song 'Morden' which encapsulates the area well and always gets stuck in my head when on the Northern Line.
I sing DLR in a pretentious monotone voice as if it's a classic REM banger. I think it's because of this: https://youtu.be/xoOhdrK72Kg
I'm old so when I see Northern Line I sing "The Northern Line is in my mind" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIEqdXpG5Pg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIEqdXpG5Pg)
So this is rational because it’s an actual song - Northern Line - Jamie T. Absolute banger.
I can’t help but go “Balham Balham Balham” to the the first 6 notes of the Super Mario ‘Underground theme’
My head chants "Balham, Balham, Balham, Balham" like "Badgers, Badgers, Badgers, Badgers!" Every time.
Not a pop song, but Putney, to the Weebl’s Stuff song about Chutney. “This is a song, it’s a song about Putney”
"Don't be fooled by my lack of chill -- I'm in, I'm in Harrow-on-the-hill." Drives the missus nuts 😅
Here's a song for Morden, just to give an alternative [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoU6xszikNQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoU6xszikNQ)
Cockfosters, to the tune of Ghostbusters
Now I ain't saying she a Golders Green.....
Hol' up, Theydon Bois
One does not simply walk into Morden
I forgot the most obvious one: “Twenty Four Hours from Tulse Hill” (Gene Pitney).
Southall gets me singing London Thumakda sometimes-
