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?
a little bit of cold plums in my life

a little bit of icebox by my side
a little bit of breakfast is what you need
a little bit of forgiveness, what I seek
a little bit of delicious, thats those plums
a little bit of sweet plums all night long
a little bit of cold plums here I am
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.

You were probably saving them for breakfast

Take these breakfast plums and learn to eat
