Looking for input, Should I sing this song to my Son. y/n?

The BBQ Pit
1

Heyas,

I sang the following to my daughter when she was 3, and she really enjoyed it (probably didn’t understand it, at the time heh). Well, 10 years later, we have another child, a son… and since some people think my daughter is a liiiiittle warped, I’m rethinking this whole ‘learning’ process.

So… here it goes. Tune is the same as the original, Feel free to retch.

Little Bunny Foofoo hopping through the forest,
picking up the field mice and biting off their heads. (CHOMP)

And along comes the Liiiiiiiberal Judge! And he says:
Little Bunny Foofoo you’re still a juvenile,
We’ll keep you 'til you’re grown, but then you’re free to go.
(Spoken) And after two years, they let him go. The next day…

Little Bunny Foofoo hopping through the forest,
Buys a stolen shotgun and shoots a fairy dead. (BANG)

And along comes the Liiiiiiiberal Judge! And he says:
Little Bunny Foofoo, Society did this to you,
I sentence you to six years, probation in two.
(Spoken) And after two years, they let him go. The next day…

Little Bunny Foofoo tries to rob a drug store.
While running out the door he falls and breaks his neck. (SNAP)

And along comes the Liiiiiiiberal Judge! And he says: (a little slower)
Store Owner what a menace, you should have had those stairs fixed.
Pay ten million dollars to his poor family.
(Spoken) And the moral of the story is:

Take steps to prevent hare loss…

No.

:rolleyes:

Just get a damn Raffi CD and let the poor kid be normal.

Well, your 3 year old isn’t going to understand it so it doesn’t really matter if you sing it to him or not.

Might I ask why you put this in the pit though? You seem to be trying to solicit a response other than the one you claim to be looking for.

If you’re joking then ha-ha. Not funny but not offensive either, just bland.

If you’re serious then that song is the least of worries in regards to having a screwed up kid.

5

Yeah, moronic right-wing brainwashing is so cute. :rolleyes:

If you’re going to engage is liberal bashing, you might at least get your facts straight:

  1. Judges in juvenile courts generally cannot sentence juveniles past the age at which they become adults, regardless of their political leanings.

  2. Liberal judges tend to give stiffer sentences to perpetrators of hate crimes such as murdering homosexuals.

  3. Juries, not judges, determine judgement awards.

  4. A criminal who has spent time in prison is let out on parole, not probation. A person sentenced to probation spends no time in jail.

I doubt that anyone who thinks that murdering people for their sexuality is an appropriate topic to joke about with a three year old is much interested in the facts, or for that matter, any opinion other than his own.

Well, it is probably over the head of most children, but it is still a funny song!

:smiley:

8

Um, you’re a moron.

I dunno, if MY name was Foofoo, I’d probably go on a shooting spree, too…

10

You mean…it’s not Foofoo? Damn. Then I gotta rewrite that card I was gonna send you.

11

From singing a massive number of verses of “Hush little baby” to my daughters a 3 in the morning and making up verses, I came up with some pretty bizarre rhymes.

Nothing quite that dogmatic, though.

12

See, this is how insensitive I am, when I hear fairy I think Tinkerbell, not homosexual, so I didn’t know what Number Six was talking about.
But it’s a bogus song either way. Just sing the original, with the motions. It’s been good enough for Gods know how many generations, and the threat of being turned into a good has a real affect on a child. :wink:

13

That should be "turned into a goon, of course. And I previewed.

along the lines of cisco’s comment, if you’re really considering singing a song intended to carry a political message (i don’t care if it is a joke, it’s still conveying a point), I would imagine you’re doing a lot more than just this in terms of “warping” the child (your word, not mine) so maybe you would do better to examine what your goals are in raising your children.

Note: I’m probably way out of line for having said this, as somebody is sure to point out. It just seems that the decision to sing this song to your child is an indication of a broader decision, and if you’re wondering whether this song is right for the child, you may or may not decide other things you’re doing are questionable as well if you look closely.

15

No, but Monster104’s name is Foofoo… :smiley:

16

Eh, this wouldn’t make for the end of the world. I sang “We’ve got Franklin D. Roosevelt Back Again” to MY kids when they were smaller.

…No more bread lines, I’m glad to say,
The donkey won Election Day!
No more standing in the blowin’ snow n’ rain.
He’s got things in full sway
We’re all workin’ and gettin’ our pay;
We’ve got Franklin D. Roosevelt back again!

So I suppose if you’re a jerk…er, a dittohead…you 're free to do the same thing. Don’t be surprised if the kid grows up to be a Yippie, though.

17

For which I, for one, am profoundly grateful.

18

I don’t wanna see you

trading all your food stamps for crack and booty calls.

19

Your first thread here nominated you as the idiot de jure. This one seconded the motion.

I hope you get the attention you crave so badly.

:smack:

I had French a little over 20 years ago, but if I remember right, the French usually say Idiot, Imbecile, Cretin, Fou…

They seem to have one word names down pretty well. :slight_smile: So, ahhh - Idiot du jour (Idiot of the day, this is what you were shooting for, right?) was probably overkill.

May I make a suggestion? Try this one:
“Tu es completement debile”
You are a complete moron.

hhhhmm, if I was obviously trying to crave attention, as you so astutely suggested, I’d use poorly spelled references from another language… no wait, that’s your specialty.

Guess I’ll have to find my own, how do say, spécialité

If you want to broaden you horizons and use insults from another language, Yiddish is a nice choice.

ex: Shmok (taboo) - Self-made fool; obscene for penis: derisive term for a man

Or Russian… WOW, there are huge books written on this topic. Russians are the true masters when developing ‘descriptive phrases’. LoL my personal favorite requires a little background info. Russians love steam rooms - (they believe it’s therapeutic for hangovers) As you walk into the baths, there are stacks of birch branches with the leaves still on that they use to swat themselves supposedly to help keep the blood from pooling up.

Soooo, the Russians have another expression besides brownnose to choose from. Direct translation would be something like: ‘Sticks to his ass like a wet birch leaf’.
