kids songs

kids songs My sense of humor today was influensed by song song parodies that i sang as a child. Wether I relied it or not, much of it was satirical. Satire is my most favorite form of comedy. Unfourdunatly, sometimes I would learn the words of the variation before the actual lyrics. When I was in second or third grade, during a christmas vespers servise, the church started to sing “Joy to the World.” I was very excited because I knew the song, I sang Jubilatly through the first verse, but then there was asecond verse that I had never heard before, I did however know another verse which went something like And round and round and round it goes My mother had a diffret opinion about how the song went and as a result we had a little chat about when it was aproprae to sing certain songs, and which songs there was never an approprate time to sing. Another song in which was “never an approprate time to sing” was a version we three kings that made more sense tan the actual one. When I was in elementary school “orient are” sounded like one word, and I had no idea where Orientar was or which star the Yonder star was, basicly the whole song was jumbled words until my third grade class was sitting at the cafateria lunch tables, waiting for lunch and I heard an uproar of laughter at the bench across from me, and being a nosey third graded, as third graders are know to be, I absolutly had to know what they were laughing at. A little third grade boy had sung for his group of admirers the absluly most creaive, humrus thing that we hat ever heard in our entire lives or at least in the past five minutes, he sang for us a very soulful rendition of the once jibberish song about the kings from Orientare to a song where the kings smoked a “loaded rubber cigar” that exploded, who christmas could be so muchfun? Little did I realise how closely related christmas was to school. For instance, rather than decking the halls with bows of holly, we could Deck the halls with gasoline and then light a match and watch it gleam. (those were the first two lines in case you’re a little slow, the rest of the lines are as follows:Now our school's burned down to ashes, and Aren't you glad you played with matches?) Becase at that age school was a main part of our lives, the main subject of the song parodies had to do with school as well, often times poking fun at teachers. The first song of this nature that I learned was sung to the tune of row, row, row your boat. Aparently teachers were so bad that the would kill polarbears if they ate a teacher. If rowing your boat wasn’t your thing thing there is an easier way. Bill Wellington of Radio oof taught this song to my brother and sister through a tpe and to the entire class of Spotswood Elementary School through a live performance exclusively for the children of the shenedoah valley. His version went like this I still have Never heard the actual words to the Ciquita Banana Song, maybe such a song doesn’t exist. Bill Wellington was full choral comedy. One song that I’m sure drove my parentsmad, worse than the banana song, was based on the battle hymn choral. This song actualy had a plot, it was imitating what the teacher suposidly sang about in the teachers lounge. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the flunking of the kids Who never did their homework and never worked a lick They only whined and gave excuses in every thing they did Bill we're going at it with a gruesome ghoulish glee They threw rubber bands and spitballs The Battle Hymn Choral was fairly popular for parodies, I only had the oppertunity to learn two versions. The second one that I learned was recited on the balcony of my parents balcony on summer evening after my friend, Annie, came back from girl scout camp. i’m not sure if these are the actual words but this is how I remember them to be. Oh I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot And I wear my flannel nighty in the winter when it's not I jump between the covers with nothing on at all Annie was full of songs from girl scout camp but she had pink eye and had to go home but she did remember one more. It was a song about underware to the tune of “God Bless America.” When I first heard it I didn’t know the tune of “God Bless America,” let alone the lyrics so this might be a little dstorted from the official Girl Scout “God Bless my Underware” song From the washer to the drier to my rear Parodies of Cristmas songs and patriotic songs are prufuse because mot of the common population knows them In church one Sunday, the choir sang joyful joyful, and I was surprised to here it had the same tune as a soong we often sang on car rides to my I have never heard of a more blatant case of child abuse One time I was sight reading through a fiddle book I had just gotten and I recoonized the tune was similar to the tune of a song I had learned years before, I doon't remember the name oof the actual tune but I do And he did 360s on his skateboard too Oh this awesome dude is Gnarly Road Rash And while on his skateboard he is flying As the call his name "oh Gnarly Road Rash" This was a popular song everytime we ate spaghetti While I was taking violin lessons, one of the first songs that I learned was Lightly Row. One night I played it for my grandpa over the telephone and these were the words that he taught me, as far as I know they are There was a kid in my children's choir named Jared Stoltzfus and his mom's name was Bonnie, we used to sing him this song to make him mad. At kids b-day parties when yourparents forsed you to sing, this often got laught, of at least a glare or two I remember when I read the book Ramona Quimby and she knew the exact song that I knew, it was a very special day. This was a soong that was a little more dangerous to sing because it used the word "wiener," sometimes when our parents were around we would substitute the word peter for wiener I'm Popeye the sailor man (toot toot) I'm Popeye the sailor man (toot toot) My nextdoor nneighbor, Carrie, tought me this one, she explained to me that this was a great song because, as everyone know, cat farts smell this is one I learned lateer but never liked as much When scholl was let out for Christmas or even on the play ground during school we would skip around chanting songs of school being burned or And round and round and round it goes Now our school's burned down to ashes Aren't you glad you played with matches? This one I spesificaly remember being taught at the lunch table in This was sung to the same tune but was taught to me by my friend Annie after retuning from Girl Scout camp while we were standing on the Another song that she taught us was a glorious song about underwear, to this day I still don't know the actual lyrics to "God Bless America" "This Land is Your Land" is another patriotic song that I learned the In church one Sunday, the choir sang joyful joyful, and I was surprised to here it had the same tune as a song we often sang on car rides to my One time I was sight-reading through a fiddle book I had just gotten and I recognized the tune was similar to the tune of a song I had learned years before, I don't remember the name of the actual tune but I do This was a popular song every time we ate spaghetti While I was taking violin lessons, one of the first songs that I learned was Lightly Row.
