William Carlos Williams’ famous poem about eating someone else’s plums, This Is Just To Say, became a popular meme in the last year. People replaced the word plums with other nouns, such as Doritos, Soylent Bars, and Xanax. Now, people are inserting the lines of This Is Just To Say into song lyrics. It’s a meme that evolved from another meme!
How about some plums with a little bit of Mambo Number 5 on the side?

Weezer’s Say It Ain’t So already features the word ‘icebox,’ so the song was a perfect fit for this meme.

The version of Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way sounds like a great karaoke song.
