Now that Rickrolling is officially dead, i thought I’d share with you a variation on the game that I’ve been playing for years now, but never had a name for. I’ll call it human rolling.
The idea is simple;
When sitting beside someone who isnt really paying attention to you, start singing an annoyingly catchy song under your breath. As in real damn quiet. Under-the-ambient-sound-of-the-room quiet.
Hopefully, the song will get stuck in their head and they’ll have no idea why.
I know it sounds pointless but its incredibly fun. Just last week I got the guy on the desk beside me singing Spandau Ballets “Gold”. Soon, everyone in the office was singing it too, and blaming him for it.
Or you could just work at work, but seriously, human rolling is way more fun.
I have a great song for this.
Bamboleo by Gypsy Kings
Just reading that will have that annoying crap in peoples heads for weeks.
Tyas you evil bastard!
lol. Nice call Tyas.
Though you need to come up with a catchy name for it, like Rick Roll had.
Bambo Bomb… *shrug*
This obviously works. I emailed Birdey earlier today with this:
Subject: Just a Quick Thought
Remember the song Bamboleo by Gypsy Kings, how did that go again?
Now that f*cker is gonna be stuck in your head forever!!!
I received two responses. 1st one arrived about 30 mins later suggesting I was in cahoots with Beelezbub.
2 and a half hours later I received this 2nd response…
Este amor llega asi esta manera
No tiene la culpa
Caballo le ven sabana
Porque muy depreciado,
Por eso no te perdon de llorar
Este amor llega asi esta manera
No tiene la culpa,
Amor de comprementa
Amor del mes pasado
Bebele, bembele, bembele
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
No tiene pardon de dios
Tu eres mi vida, la fortuna del destino
Pero el destino tendressa para dos
Lo mismo yo que ayer
Lo mismo soy yo
No te encuentro a labandon
Es imposible no te encuentro de verdad
Por eso un dia no cuentro si de nada
Lo mismo you que ayer
Yo pienso en ti
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Bamboleo, bambolea
Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi
Pass it on!
Heeheehee … this is an old game where I work!
My Top Office Human Rolling Tracks

The other game is to have a theme and think of as many songs with that theme in its title/lyrics.
