I wasn't sure if this should go in Crazy House or Stories so it can be moved as needed.

Since a lot of people have heard the phrase "there's a song in there, somewhere." at one time or another in their life, I wanted to know what contexts other people have heard it in. All you do is tell a short story that you've heard or of a personal experience to give context to something funny someone said and end it with "there's a song in there, somewhere." Example:

I don't recall when he said it was, but it was a couple years before I was born and some holiday or anniversary that my mom and dad, instead of having a big celebration or going to a party, decided to spend the night with Krystals and cheap champagne. When he told me this, I thought to myself "Krystals and cheap champagne.... There's a song in there, somewhere."

For those of you unfamiliar, Krystal is a chain of fast food places mainly found in the south that sells sliders, similar to White Castle.

wow cringe it makes me want to eat my own foot

there's a cringe somewhere in there

no literally i said cringe 2 times now because this is cringy

How about this?

I spent the night at Krystal,
Hoping to drown the pain
With 69 cent burgers
And this cheap champagne,

I prayed to God that this would
Be my last night on Earth,
But Heaven had a different plan
That proved to me my worth!

Oh the burgers were really tasty
The champagne wasn't half bad,
The flavor rushed into me,
I forgot why I was sad!

When I returned to my empty home,
I no longer felt alone.
I had a family that I knew
Was far beyond my own.

good job coming up with those lyrics, even i couldnt come up with something like that

supernerd117 : That's actually pretty good. Have you considered being a lyricist?

m0ssb3rg935 : I have indeed. I've written a few things, but never published (although I'd like to one day!). I have published some poetry, though. Thanks for the compliment!

Maybe not "There's a song in there somewhere," but the shenanigans that happen at my work all the time are so prevalent, one of the managers wants to start her own television program based on the happenings of our place. It's so ridiculous and outlandish, she takes notes so she can keep track of what we go through on a day to day basis that would make for great 25 minute sitcom viewing.

One example is: We made a repair claim to our property management company about a room where the air conditioning didn't work. That was the only comment we had. The A/C repair guy came out, looked around the building, went up on the roof and found three RTU (Rooftop Units) were about to crap out. He recommended replacing them to the tune of $88,000 since they were going to explode sooner than later. He also found a redirected duct that wasn't cycling air through the men's locker room. He basically spent a day and a half going over all the problems.

The manager said, "Did you look at Room 3?"

The repair guy said, "Why would I do that? What's in room 3?"

Manager: "That's the room that's always hot and the original complaint was about that room."

The repair guy checks his paperwork.... nothing about that. Huh. And he goes and looks, flips a switch somewhere in the ductwork, and problem solved.

I hear carousel music every time something happens at work. There's a sitcom in there, somewhere.

Ghostbear1111 : I know exactly what that's like. On more than one occasion by different people every time, we've been told we're "better than cable television." Some of the stuff that happens in this town with our neighbors and extended family has me shaking my head. It's like they're doing a live action production of The Simpsons.

I once said that I was "never going to give somebody up", and I was "never going to let them down". I am sure there was a song in that somewhere...
