Stuck in my head:

A moo-oose
Swimming in the water.
A moo-oo-oose
Eating his supper
Where did he go?
He has gone to sleep.

Te'or
Socheh bamayim
Te'or
Ochel tzohorayim
Le'an hu halach?
Hu halach lishon.

isn't tzohorayim lunch?

Well, yes.

But that's how the song goes.

So that's what's stuck in my head.

With the moose.

Just like a moose that's standing in the wa-a-ter
We will not be moose.

Hee!

You are eeeeeevil. (And now my brain is doing the hand motions, too.)

Sorry 'bout that. I didn't mean to infect others.

Becky'd forgotten how it went, so she asked me to sing it. So there I was, sitting in front of my computer, holding the phone in one hand, and doesn't it figure my other hand was doing all the hand motions?

I'm gonna get her back, though. I've got a ton of those things stuck in my head, even after so many years.

Wow. I usually get the yeshiva in-jokes, but this one is completely over my head.

[gilana]

It's more of a camp in-joke. It's a song. I can show you tonight if you like.

This one, as gilana says, isn't yeshivish.

For a yeshivish earworm, I submit the following:

Ninety-nine rabbis with beards in the cave
Ninety-nine rabbis with beards
If one of those rabbis should happen to shave
Ninety-eight rabbis with beards in the cave
Ninety-eight rabbis with beards in the cave...

(long bus trips with yeshiva kids can be quite entertaining)

I vaguely recall a somewhat more morbid version of this from my yeshiva days, involving the last stand at Mossada. It was only funny if you're nine, though.
