Quirky Siri Chimes In

A funny thing happened after Sue and I watched The Voice, a day late at Tuesday noon. No, it wasn't watching it a day late that was funny.

After the show, for some reason I started singing a funny song to Lacey, or about Lacey anyway: I sang "laceree lacerah" to the tune of The Happy Wanderer (play the video ↓ if you don't know the original).


The point was that I was just clowning around and belting it out.

Suddenly, Siri interjected from my Apple phone and started talking to me. And then she began to play music. I don't know how she got from my Laceree Lacerah (Happy Wanderer) to a song called Wine by a someone called Suran, but away it went, including some of that hip hop rappy type of stuff. To repeat: very weird.


It was just one of the quirks of life. Quirks make life interesting, but this was just one more bizarre thing to perplex my already addled brain.

Just after writing the above I happened to check FB and this ↓ popped up 


Yup, I think I must have invoked ghosts, even though I am a boomer and not a millennial.

Young boomer! Playing with the sirinatural. This won't end well. And oh the earworm..

I refuse to be pulled into this siri/ghost conversation...I'll just chalk it up to the guy who does Sudoku till he sees lines everywhere. And darn that ear worm, I'm turning on some music just to combat it!

Happy wanderer…we sang it in school too. Those kids are really into it.

Our Alexa - aka She who must not be named - has done some creepy things at our house, too.

MARY G said...

Highly amusing. You may have to stop singing. Really?

Debby said...

If you want to read something funny, google random laugh from Alexa. People were being wakened in the night by random evil laughter from Alexa.

Jeanie said...

And they say we aren't being watched!!! Ha!

Margaret said...

Siri (and Alexa) activate at weird times and say the darnest things.

William Kendall said...

I wonder what Lacey thinks of all that.

Vicki Lane said...

Too funny! Siri is flirting with you.

Jenn Jilks said...

Yep, you've got ghosters!

William Kendall said...

What was Lacey thinking?

Beatrice P. Boyd said...

We do not have Alexa in our home as having Siri on the Apple devices is quite enough.

Joanne Noragon said...

And consider all the songs to do this to: Que Siri, Sura...

I do not even know Siri exists until reading your post. I best leave them alone.

DJan said...

I do get the occasional weird words from Siri when I least expect it. And we don't have Alexa. I already feel spied upon!

My singing voice is terrible. But I still like music.
Coffee is on and stay safe

Siri probably thinks she can sing better than you can. Pretty nervy of her, if you ask me.

Kay said...

Siri doesn't pop up for me, but ALEXA does all the time. I have to be careful what I say.

I stopped my Facebook account. But I'm wondering if I should reactivate it just to see what's going on.
