I totally blame Danny Kaye for this one (and Tom Servo)

Someone in the office was talking about Copenhagen and mentioned Hans Christian Andersen, whereupon I had to -- I was COMPELLED to -- instinctively pipe up with "Andersen! That's meeeee!"

I'm just glad nobody around here has a reason for using the name Harrigan¹ in everyday conversation, or else I'd also be blaming George M. Cohan too.











1. That's meeeee!

Did they ever do HCA on MST3000? I don't remember it.

Frank Loesser was a great songwriter, so I think I would be upset if they did.

No, they never did the movie, but there was one film where there was a character named Anderson and every time someone referred to him, Tom Servo would pipe up with "that's me!!"

Please tell me what the reference is to "Andersen! That's meeeee!" I need to know.

It's a Danny Kaye movie, Hans Christian Andersen.

When I lived on the other end of Highland Ave I'd at least mutter-sing that every time I walked underneath the Andersen Insurance sign on my way to Davis.

(I don't know what it's from, either.)

I recently interviewed a gentleman named Horrigan, and it was all I could do not to spell his name in song.

There needs to be greater lenience for song references. Any time someone steps up on a public fountain or picnic table etc., what are you supposed to sing in your head?

Now it's stuck in my head ...
