This situation (the one Joe fears) is also depicted in a children's song called "Fod" (a nonsense word injected into every chorus, loudly, by the children in the audience).

"I went down to the mowing field
Too-rah too-rah, foladiddle dido!

FOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went down to the mowing field
When an ugly sarpent bit mah heel
Too-rah-die-ay!
