Lyrics question (long shot)

[triskellian]

Sometimes my brain produces random songs to play at me when I wake up. This morning it didn't manage a whole song, just one line:

"She said 'hi', I said 'yeah, I think I am'"

I can't remember anything else of the song, and Google doesn't seem to know either. I think it might be parent-music - that would explain the feeling that I've heard it a

No ideas whatsoever, but it's a great line.

[triskellian]

Hey, I was thinking about you yesterday. In fact, I think of you every time I see Gene Hunt being protective of his Audi ;-)

[mrlloyd]

That's sweet. But I'm still never letting you near the Jag again.

Anything to distract you from the dissertation, right?

This line is definitely a lyric, not a line from a standup comedian or something?

Also, shouldn't that be: parent!music (in the best traditions of the interwebnet)? ;-)

[triskellian]

:-P, yes*, and probably ;-)

(*I know the tune for the line, although I can't extrapolate to the rest of the song.)

[bopeepsheep]

It's ringing a very vague bell with me. Any chance of your demonstrating the tune somehow? :)

Rudimentary musical notation coming up:

_ _ - / _ _ / - / _ - / _ -'

Where forward-slashes are either pauses or the preceding note is double-length (I'm not sure), underscores are the lowest notes, hyphens are the middle and the apostrophe is the highest (representing the second syllable of 'am'; all other words have the normal amount of syllables). I wouldn't swear that all notes with the same symbol are the same - this is more a representation of their relationship to each other than their absolute value, IYSWIM.

oooh, I'm sure I've heard that one before...

It's not Beatles, it is?

[triskellian]

Don't think so - my parents didn't play a lot of Beatles music, and I assume that most of their output is findable by Google. Also, I think it's an American accent.

A Google search suggests Dean Friedman - Ariel:

She was a jewish girl. I fell in love with her.
She wrote her number on the back of my hand.
I called her up, I was all out of breath, I said,
"come hear me play in my rock and roll band.
I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans.
I picked her up in my new vw van.
She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath.
I said, "hi". she said, "yeah, I guess I am."

[triskellian]

Yes, it's that - thank you! Explains why I couldn't find it on Google myself...

[_alanna]

Not sure why it popped up on my search and not yours. I must have teh Google-fu today :P
