There are many really strange childhood songs in my head. Seriously.


"Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts, mutilated monkey meat, chopped up parakeet, french fried eyeballs floating in a bowl of blood, and I forgot my spoon. But I remembered my straaaaw!"

"I don't care if I go crazy, one two three four five six switch! Crazy go I if care don't I, six five four three two one switch!"

"My brother Tony was very bony, because he would never eat his meals. And so we gave him medicinal compound, and now we roll him 'round on wheels!" - slight variation for memory and singing changes, of course. But I _have_ a younger brother Tony (actually Anthony, and he no longer answers to 'Tony'), and he _was_ really bony. I didn't actually know it existed anywhere other than in my family member's heads, so now I'm highly amused!

There are probably more, but nothing has triggered them recently. And y'all _don't_ want to know how many random christian/catholic folk songs there are in my head.

oooh local variant!

Did you ever sing "once there were three fishermen"?

"Amster-amster-DAM DAM DAM!"

local variant? Perhaps, perhaps not - I grew up partly in Pennsylvania, and my parents are from Wisconson, so it's difficult to know where things came from. :)

I don't _think_ so?
