The Dremel Song...

Of course, in our shop the ubiquitous Dremel (R) Tool is used ALL of the time, to cut and shape things. (It's many a team's first "power tool"...)

The other day while using the tool, out of boredom I started singing "Dremel, Dremel, Dremel, <whistling rest>", to the old Hanukkah tune "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel". (No, I'm not Jewish, just musical, and it seemed to fit.)

There were a few chuckles. Then suddenly IT STUCK. Everyone started singing/humming "Dremel, Dremel, Dremel, la-la la-la la-la" all around the shop whenever the tool fired up. (Oh oh...)

Since we obviously now needed some more words to it, I recently added:
... "Dremel Dremel Dremel, we use it every day...
... Dremel Dremel Dremel, it cuts the stuff away..."

Now that we have words for it, it REALLY sticks in the head. As soon as the tool starts up, someone invariably starts singing or humming it and then cries out "Oh NO!... It's stuck in my head again and I can't get it out!" <lol>

Whenever this happens we now have to quickly sing something else or put on some music, to "break the spell".

I debated on whether or not to post this, but it's too funny not to share. (... Now it can be stuck in your heads, too... )
