THE ANTS ARE MY FRIEND...

Twenty things which listeners have heard in the chorus of REM's 'The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight' (the correct lyric is 'Call me when you try to wake her up'):

1 Calling Chuck Yeager
2 Tony's got away from us
3 Colin went to try Jamaica rub
4 Calmly celebrate her
5 Coming from Jamaica
6 Only child, wake her up
7 Tell me a jawbreaker
8 Come and eat your bacon up
9 Call me in Chaddeweka
10 Commonly a child awake, uh-huh
11 Call me Cheryl Baker
12 Coming to Arabia
13 Colin the shadowmaker
14 Come on let me chat a week, Aha
15 Comedy will try to break her heart
16 Calling chabaikerra
17 Tommy shall wait for her
18 Cabeza hueca ('empty head' in Spanish)
19 Come Anita Baker
20 Only in Jamaica
