> [@thirdwarning](#): > > The bunny, the bunny, ooh, I love the bunny! > > I love that song, but it terrifies my kids when I launch into it. When my son was small, he hated this song and I loved it. So I told him the next time he throws a fit in public, I was going to sing “The Bunny Song” until he stopped. (I use a lot of shame in my parenting; it works for us.) Sure enough, a few days later, I get my chance. Circuit City. Packed store. No, you don’t need that game. Fit ensues. ME: I’m gonna do it. HIM: I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! ME: (loudly) The bunny… HIM: WAAAAAAAH… ME: the bunny… HIM: WAAAAAH… ME: OOOOH, I LOVE THE BUNNY! I DON’T LOVE MY SOUP OR MY BREAD, JUST THE BUNNY! HIM: (silence but for a glare that screams “are you freakin’ kidding me?!”) ME: (head thrown back and dancing to my own music) The bunny, the bunny, YEAH! I love the bunny! HIM: Let’s just go… People cheered. Not sure if it was for my triumph or my singing. The fits slowed down considerably. ---

_The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything_, absolutely. We just stay at home and lie around. And if you ask us to do anything we will tell you … we don’t do anything. They’re all hysterical, though. ---

> [@PandaMom](#): > > I love ALL those songs… my personal favorite, is from the Christmas CD, (The Christmas Singalong, I think is it’s name). I dont’ even know the name, but it is about Larry, who has 3 cookies for Santa… and first a bank robber comes in, then a Viking, and finally is a member of the IRS. HILARIOUS!!! [Oh Santa](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S02GxGmdwg). That’s my favorite too! That and the Yodeling Vet of the Alps. And the Viking song. ---

> [@Greenback](#): > > The Water Buffalo Song is my favourite. > > Though the song on ‘Lord of the Beans’ is great! Inspired by Lord of the Rings, the Cucumber is singing like Presley while dressed up like an elf. At the end, he gets exposed by one of the other characters who says, “You’re no elf. You’re an elvish impersonator”. > > I laughed a long time about that one. Ah, yes, My Baby Elf. my babity, babity, babity, babity, babbity, babity, babity elf. ---

The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps, definitely. “If you go a little loopy, better keep your nurse well paid.” Indeed! ---

My favourite has to be the Hairbrush Song. The best bit for me is when the kid goes “Whydjooneedahairbrushyoodonthaveanyhaaaaiiiiir?” I also love the Song of the Cebu. The first time I heard it I couldnt stop laughing at the mute cebu. ---

Nobody’s yet mentioned my fave - “The Bellybutton Song” out of “The Ballad of Little Joe”. We break into the rap section all the time… - You say your bellybutton’s missing there’s no reason for alarm It’s a common thing for gourds, it won’t do you any harm You’re technically a fruit, but with that much being said Your umbillical equivocal is up there on your head! You could ask for a prosthetic but of course you have to know It be covered by your shirt - but not your HMO!\* I heard a Rumour one time about the Bunny Song. 'Tis said that the original lyrics were “don’t love my mom or my dad” (not “soup and bread”) which, you must admit, rhymes a lot better with the following lines. But the song is SO catchy, the songwriters kids ended up running round the house singing it at top volume and so, rather than having a legion of young fans across the country belting out “I DON"T LOVE MY MOM OR MY DAD” for the next gazillion years… (ooh, I love the Bunny…) ---

He says the line about not loving his mom or dad, and also there is a line about not going to church or school. If you google ‘the original bunny song’ you can watch the original one. ---

Ours is old enough it’s on VHS (hand me down) and it has both lines in it. (YEAH! I love the bunny…) ---

That’s an understatement. I’d never heard of Silly Songs with Larry until yesterday morning. Thanks to all of you, I was up most of the night with, “aacho moo moo, aachoo moo moo, aachoo moo moo, aachoo moo moo, aachoo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo” running through my head. Boo hoo moo moo. :o Yaaawn. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/silly-songs-with-larry/539066.md?page=1)
