Today, upon being asked to name all the planets, I had to sing along to a Lady Gaga song in my head to remember them. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at a party, I tried to play it cool by pretending to know all the lyrics to a song, but ended up singing the wrong words and embarrassing myself. FML
Today, I can remember enough of a song for it to be stuck in my head, but not enough of it to help me identify the song. FML
Today, my girlfriend will only speak to me using Lady Gaga lyrics. FML
Today, my brain seemingly went on vacation and I forgot the lyrics to a song I was performing in front of a live audience, so I ended up ad-libbing a bunch of garbage. FML
Today, I was just beginning a calculus exam when my brain thought it was a good time to get stuck on the song "Close Every Door" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Now that the exam is over, I'm afraid that I can foresee the future through song. FML
Today, the Star Wars Cantina song had been stuck in my head since I woke up, as my brother was humming it. I finally managed to get it out of my head. Then my mom started to whistle it. It's stuck in my head again. FML
Today, I attended a musical. A new song was played, and I thought I'd heard it before because it sounded strangely familiar. I sang along quietly as the song progressed, positive I knew it. Anticipating the next chorus, I belted out the lyrics with all my heart. It was instrumental. FML
Today, I was at a friend's birthday party in a packed karaoke bar/restaurant and I drunkenly agreed to sing. I picked a song I thought I knew by heart, only to realize halfway through that the lyrics on the screen were not at all what I thought they were. My brain went for a smoke break or something, and I turned into a rambling mess. The crowd actually booed. FML
Today, I got caught singing '80s hair metal love ballads to myself in the car by the object of my affection. FML
Today, I was singing the National Anthem at a school game and totally forgot the words. So I kept singing the same two lines over and over. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'll give you an applause for trying, even though I show no emotion whatsoever with my poker face.

Please tell me you said "don't you know my ass is famous?" After saying Uranus?

Hey, I still have the Schoolhouse Rock 5's song on replay in my head. Also, the Sesame Street 12 Pinball clip. Thank you, Schoolhouse Rock and Sesame Street. <3, 40 year old me.

"We the people....in order to form a more perfect union....establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility...." I can still recite the entire preamble because of Schoolhouse Rock. Not sure how Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy stuck though.

Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto. Yes I still consider Pluto to be a planet screw the scientists. That's the planets in order from the sun I don't know how I know them but I do.

You would have gotten extra credit if you'd busted out the moves and verses instead of just keeping it in your head.

OP, which song helps you? :)

"Men Very Easily Make Jugs Serve Useful Needs". "Promptly", if you want to include Pluto.

And I used to refer to Sailor Moon as a reminder: Usagi Tsukino & Mamoru Chiba: moon & Earth, Ami Mizuno: Mercury, Rei Hino: Mars, Makoto Kino: Jupiter, Minako Aino: Venus, Michiru Kaiô: Neptune, Haruka Tenô: Uranus, (Setsuna Meiô: Pluto) and Hotaru Tomoe: Saturn. Tadaaa ! ^_^

The blues clues song from my childhood always does it for me.

You can remember the lyrics to a song but can't put 8 words in order from your memory?
