where in the hell have YOU been?

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Man, y'all must have gone to some kinda crazy VOODOO preschools! We don't teach that kinda stuff where I come from.

[starflow.livejournal.com]

I KNOW THAT SONG!! I don't know why, I don't remember learning or recollect where I might have sang it, but I certainly know that song. For some reason, I'm getting a vague country feel from it, so maybe some country singer sang it years ago. Or I might be out of my mind. Either one is entirely possible.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Very strange. It doesn't even ring a bell with me!

[faerieface.livejournal.com]

You've never heard that song?! It's a classic! ;)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

NO, I never heard it! And don't sing it to Ethne, for goodness' sake! Stop the madness!

[alicdeni83.livejournal.com]

I loved that song. It's awesome. I still just randomly say "perhaps she'll die."

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Just keep your voice down--you don't want to attract attention.

[ex-thebellja885.livejournal.com]

I suppose you never heard of "The Hokey Pokey" either.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

It sounds pornographic to me. Leave it to you licentious yankees to come up with all manner of filth to feed your children. I'll bet y'all played naked leapfrog too.

[ex-thebellja885.livejournal.com]

shuddup chicken neck.
go milk some goats.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

go milk a bull, heifer

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Dude. *shakes head*

[sarcasmosis.livejournal.com]

correction:

i don't know what why swallowed a fly;
perhaps she'll die.

seems like there are a lot of variations. this definitely seems more verbose than the versions i always heard. never heard the fish part...bird always caught that spider.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

wierd

[albert71292.livejournal.com]

When I was a kid I used to have one of those 45rpm/book sets they used to sell, that had the song and lyrics.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Man, I missed out on all the hot action.

[m-fallenangel.livejournal.com]

I first learned that song in second grade music class. I also heard on Sesame Street.

We learned the "I guess..." version, BTW.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Weird--and I watched Sesame Street all the time... Maybe I lost that part of my brain to Milwaukee's Best...

[m-fallenangel.livejournal.com]

Milwaukee's Best?! You probably lost more than that.

[twistedwithin.livejournal.com]

whut? you got some repressed, southern baptist, hang up with swallowing?

:P

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Hell no, I didn't go to church! In fact, that's one of my theories: that the song is some sort of bible tune that I was never in on. Either that, or voodoo.

[twistedwithin.livejournal.com]

yeah, i hear ya. . .gotta watch out for those church-y perv-y people.

:P

huh

[nationofsheep.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard this song. Of course, I was raised by Ozzy as well (referring to your later post), so maybe I just missed it. Raised in Texas so maybe it is a Yankee thing. Damn Yankees! I guess she'll die.

Re: huh

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

She oughta die, fellating a goat like that.

[mipplet.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you've never heard that song before!

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

I'm telling you, we don't teach that sorta nonsense down south! We teach . . . well, I dunno what we teach, but it's not this sort of freakiness!

[grrrrrrrrrrrowl.livejournal.com]

Freak. Next you will say you don't know "The Farmer in the Dell" or something equally absurd. ;)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

The farmer in the who???

[grrrrrrrrrrrowl.livejournal.com]

TRAGEDY!

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

ok ok ok, THAT one I have heard. just joshin' ya. :)

[grrrrrrrrrrrowl.livejournal.com]

You don't have to fib. Your childhood was a lie. Be honest about it. ;)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Well, if ya wanna get right down to it, my whole life is a lie. ;)

[grrrrrrrrrrrowl.livejournal.com]

Aww, don't say that! You knew about the Farmer in the Dell.... that has to mean something!

[dichotomous.livejournal.com]

YUO = WIERDOUGH

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me you've been subjected to this madness too!

[cultofheather.livejournal.com]

Man we used to rock this song as kids. Well, uh, we'd sing it.

I remember telling my mom that it was truly disgusting.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

And you were RIGHT. Downright freakish.
