My tics love adjusting the lyrics to well-known songs. The latest for this treatment is Chumbawamba’s 1997 hit Tubthumping, better known by its most prominent lyric, “I Get Knocked Down.” In my Tourettes version a few other things get knocked down too…

“Cats get knocked down, but they get up again – you’re never going to get cats down.”
“They get knocked down, but they get up again – you’re never going to keep skittles down.”
“Trees get knocked down, but they spring up again – you’re never going to keep trees down.”
“They get knocked down, but they get up again – you’re never going to get zombies down.”

I’m glad I got these down though – it’s always a rush to get ticced lyrics written down before they’re gone. And they don’t come back again.
