From: GUEST Date: 15 Oct 01 - 04:06 PM Little baby Went to the bathroom and pooped out a snake The snake climbed out and bit him on the head Little baby They buried him down in a deep dark hole Winter came and they dug him up for coal They burned him in the furnace, hot, hot, hot Buried the ashes and they began to rot Rain came down, and they began to smell Little baby Devils poked him with a big fat stick A devil came and chopped off his dick Little baby And then he finally died, died, died |

Subject: RE: BS: What did you sing as a kid? From: Gervase Date: 15 Oct 01 - 12:16 PM My mother used to sing the Burl Ives standards when I was a child, and they were the first songs I learned. I loved "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and "When I First Came To This Land" and, to my shame, I also enjoyed "Kumbaya" (though these days it always sounds like a Geordie shepherd losing his rag with a sheepdog to me!). She also used to sing one to me in dog-Latin, with a refrain along the lines of "Peri-merry dixie domine..." but I can't for the life of me remember the rest of it. |

Subject: What did you sing as a kid? From: GUEST,ScooterHenry Date: 15 Oct 01 - 11:30 AM I was looking through the songs in the "Mudcat for kids" area, and I recognized barely anything there. Those songs look like things adults WISH kids would sing ("Robin Cam' to the Wren's Door", "We Are Called the Girl Scouts") rather than anything any natural kids would sing together unless a music teacher or scout leader was making them do it. Real kids like songs about vomit and underpants, not wrens and ponies. So, 'fess up the songs you ACTUALLY sang as a kid, WITH other kids, and maybe we can get some songs there that kids would actually come and look at... then, you can kind of sneak in your wrens and fairies in at the same time, like a vitamin pill hidden in taffy.
