emw I know exactly which episode of "Just Shoot Me" youre talking about! In fact, when I saw the title of the read, I silently re-read chicken pot chicken pot chicken pot pie multiple times in the voice of the "Just Shoot Me" guy! 
You know what else always gets stuck in my head? Have you ever been to a restaurant, and they come to sing this "Happy Birthday" song that goes ...
"Happy happy birthday, may all your dreams come true, happy happy birthday, [something something too]!" I can't remember the end of it right now, but it seems like every restaurant sings it now aaaah!

I find that the commercial with Harry Connick (and his weird-ass hairdo) smarming cellular service horrid and unwatchable.. the nasty sounding jingle at the end just seems to STICK itself in my brain and it takes like a gallon of beer to wash it out!
A shorter combination would be "the pants go marching...", which would go nicely with a great Golden Book named The House That Had Enough by P. E. King. A favorite at our house. Description: "Tired of being mistreated, Anne's furniture, clothes, and house decide to leave until she promises to take better care of them."emw said:
Sorry to get off the chicken pot pie topic, but this thread is fun whether on-topic or off!
More on-topic: "But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart, I just don't think he'd understand, And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart, He might blow up and kill this man." Repeat ad nauseum (which I think might be less than twice).

"Quoting" starts with a Q, so I should be good at it. In fact, I just quoted YOU quite well!emw said:
When Apple was playing the iPod commercial with [playlistId=14813322&selectedItemId=14813270]Ride[/playlistId], by The Vines, that little bit of music kept repeating in my head: Ride with me, Ride with me, Ride with me, ow ow, Ride with me, OK that's enough, Ride with me, make it stop!, Ride with me, ...

So if a song is copyrighted, employees at a restaurant can't sing it? Maybe...but it seems unlikely. Seems more plausable to me that the original Happy Birthday song is boring, so restaurants have their own songs that are a lot more fun for the patrons
Oh wow, I thought I was the only crazy person who thought of that Just Shoot Me line whenever anyone said "chicken pot pie"
"chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pieeeeeee"
"chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pieeeeeee"
Strangely enough, that's not the first time I've heard that number tonight. At the bar I was just at, some girl was talking about how she met this great guy and she got his number... sho nuff, it was 867-5309. Everyone was laughing hysterically until she realized he'd fake-numbered her.pseudobrit said:
I'll go off-topic here by um, talking about chicken pot pie.
I hail from Lancaster County, the home of chicken pot pie. This is where pot pie is real pot pie. Original pot pie. Not this frozen food garbage they try to call "pot pie."
If you think of this when you think of pot pie:
Then you don't know what pot pie is. Above is a picture of a chicken pie. I blame the frozen food industry for deceiving us all with the "pot" when this is clearly a chicken pie pan pie.
There is no crust or peas in chicken pot pie and you don't bake it in a pie pan.
It's broth, a pinch of saffron, squares of thick dough, peeled quartered potatoes and chicken breast meat slowly cooked in -- a pot (!) and nothing else save maybe carrots & onions. Purists stick with the noodles, potatoes and chicken. That's real, genuine, Lancaster pot pie.
So now when you're eating "pot pie" you can think instead about how you're not really eating pot pie. And you can think of 867-5309.

I actually did get food poisoning from a frozen chicken pot pie, about 15 years ago, and I can't stand to eat, smell, or look at them to this day. (It's very possibly I got stomach flu from something else, but the pie was in the same place at the same time and will always get all the blame). And I also always remember that stupid chicken pot pie phrase as well, and I will say that whenever I see one, thinking of the time I threw up all night after eating one! It's hard to shake.Doctor Q said:
Sorry to do this to y'all, but this little tune popped into my head in the elevator while returning from Starbucks just now:
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Inspector Gadget
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, DOO-DOO
Enjoy.
