My neighbors Hate My Mistress

It’s Friday, and it’s time for 10 more lyrics in need of identifying! Last week, Fred locked down two points right out of the gate and Frodis Caper and John wound up with a point apiece.

Last week I took the unprecedented step of posting some hints on BlueSky for the unidentified lyrics. They looked a little something like… this.

So let’s look and see what these four hints were identifying.

1. This hint was for the song “Here Comes the Ice Cream Bunny,” a Christmas song written and performed by The RiffTones, better known as the guys from RiffTrax and MST3k. The song is based on their own joke catchphrase (“HURRR HURRR HURRR”) for their riff on the weird-as-Hell children’s movie “Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny.”
2. This hint was for “You’re Getting to Be a Rabbit With Me,” by jokester and folk singer Allan Sherman, perhaps best known for “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter from Camp Granada)”. “Rabbit” is a parody of “You’re Getting to be a Habit With Me,” first recorded by Waring’s Pennsylvanians and then covered by approximately a million different acts including Jackie Gleason and Bing Crosby (on two different versions, not the same track — can you imagine?)
3. This hint was for “Shoop,” by Salt-N-Pepa. It’s a favorite at karaoke nights (at least at every karaoke night I’ve been to), and there’s always a guy rapping along who can hit every word but completely forgets the lyrics for the actual guy’s verse.
4. And, finally, this was for “Substitutiary Locomotion,” recorded by Angela Lansbury for the Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks, a childhood favorite of The Film Optimist’s. And if you didn’t know that Lansbury was British-born, Irish, or a badass, then you clearly didn’t watch my video on Mrs. Santa Claus.

Now, let’s talk about this week’s lyrics! Get in the comments and remember: No searchin’ for the answers on Google, Bing, etc. Get close to the title and artist and I’ll give you credit. And if you identify a different cover than I was listening to, you still get credit! Let’s get to it.

1. My doctor said take it easy, oh, but your lovin’ is much to strong
2. 色のついた夢見たいな (English translation: It feels just like a dream in full color)
3. I’m a li’l dangerous — girl, I’d love to show ya
4. I can make a rhyme or confusion in your mind
5. Now you see me, now you don’t — I thought by now you’d learned
6. The reason I breathe is you (Oh yeah) Boy, you got me blinded
7. I couldn’t help but notice that riding crop sticking out of your haversack
8. Mother, mother — there’s too many of you crying
