Here is another one I learned recently:

JOOC ~ Just Out of Curiousity

I just want to mention that IIRC and FWIW were covered on page one and two of this topic, so please read all the pages first before asking.

Thanks,

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

Do "we" use acronyms for all weird Al songs that are over one word long?
Like : "you don't lonve me anymore"=ydlmam ?????????????
or is there a pecial "RULE" for abbreviating song names (and have you noticed abbrviation is such a long word..and hard to spell,especially for me?)????

Some songs have them and some don't. For some reason, it's the more recent songs that have them: IAATP, GiF, even HS. We don't use GJWTHL very often (although in fairness, we discuss the other three songs more).

Ok, I thought I was pretty good with the song name acronyms, but you have stumped me, anth! What does GJWTHL stand for?

But I mean, Linux on Standby...its such a common phrase. And Random Open Office Tree......ok, mask off. Did you take more tylenol extra powerful pills than it says too? I mean.....RANDOM OPEN OFFICE TREE. Is that even a real phrase used by anyone?
