Thread Name: Origins: Beans in my Ears (Len Chandler)
Subject: RE: Beans in my Ears?

Do children actualy put beans in their ears. This has confused me since I first heard the song back in the sixties. Since then I have had children who ate chalk and soil but never put anything in their ears. Is this an American tradition.
