Twinmom Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 ICUP (say the name of each letter out loud, not in front of anyone important!;)) The following song, which has been sung all day at the top of their four sets of lungs: Joy to the world, Barbie's dead, We barbequed her head! Don't worry about her body, We flushed it down the potty! It went round and round again, Round and round again! And round and round and round again! (Just like a Cheerio!) :o :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 The neighbor boys taught my kids the ICUP thing. They were thrilled for about a week and seem to have forgotten it. I once confided to DH that I have a secret fear that someday when someone asks me if I worry about my kids missing out by not attending PS, I'll answer that they may go through life not knowing the beloved Christmas tune "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells." Then again, maybe they'll learn it at co-op.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i.love.lucy Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Our songs are about Barney the Purple dinosaur. Joy to the world, Oh Barney's dead, We barbequed his head! We flushed him down the potty! Forget about his toes we stuffed them up his nose Round and round and round he goes! and ABCDEFG Barney is my enemy Stuck a rifle up his nose Pulled the trigger, there he goes ABCDEFG Barney is my enemy Yes, TOP of the lungs in unison. When I asked my children where they heard these lovely diddies they happily replied that it was at the homeschool Valentines Party.:001_huh::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elise1mds Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Wow! I remember all of those from when I was a little kid! My late uncle was the one who taught me about ICUP.

GWOB Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 See, hsed kids are socialized!:lol::lol: My dd came home from hs PE singing the "I'm a barbie girl" song. I have personally taught them : - "Jingle bells, Batman smells" - I'm rubber, you're glue.... - Spell PIG backward and say funny - The complete awesomeness of Tom Petty and Weezer Although, I was quite disappointed during a star study when we covered "Betelgeuse" and they didn't repeat the name 3 times. I have some catching up to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamturner Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 My kids brought home: I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world. My boobs are plastic, it's fantastic! My dd learned it this way, I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world. Life is so fantastic, when you're made of plastic. Which IMO is not as bad. My kids hear many of these type of songs from the neighbors or their cousins. They learned a lot of potty jokes while at a cub scout campout that is made of homeschoolers. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Kids, gotta love 'em! My 9 year old cracks herself up by reciting the alphabet, but skipping over and not saying the letter "P." Then at the end she goes: "Where'd the P go? Running down my leg!" I have to strongly discourage her from teaching it to my four year old, but I think it's already too late.

Guest Virginia Dawn Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Dh teaches the kids those songs. I guess he figures they would be missing out other wise. So far they know Deck the Halls with Heads of Barney, I'm Looking Over My Dead Dog Rover, and Constipation by Wierd Al. There are others but I have blocked them out of my memory.

Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts AND I FORGOT MY SPOOOOOOON. The last line must be YELLED of course. ;) I learned the fourth line as "French-fried frog eyes rolled up in camel snot." When I was 15, my best friend and I entertained our 4 younger siblings on a long car trip by making up 4 more verses, including one about dessert! :DI hope I can find my notebook where I wrote them down so they can be preserved for posterity! The only line I remember at the moment is "bobcat brownies with chewy-chocolate-chicken-chunks." Edited April 17, 2010 by AndyJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The variations from region to region or school to school, etc. are interesting. Here are two I remember: I hate you, you hate me, Let's hang Barney from a tree. With a great big thump now Barney's on the floor. No more purple dinosaur. (Unfortunately, I had a purple coat with green lining in 5th grade so this song was often sung AT me.) Deck the halls with gasoline. Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Light a match and watch it gleam. Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Burn the school right down to ashes. Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Aren't you glad we play with matches? Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5LittleMonkeys Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 My 11yr.old dd has a dance that goes with this one. I like big bubbles and I can not lie Laugh when it pops in my eye When I laugh then I choke When I choke then I die Then it all starts over and I don't know why. My husband is one of those that comes up with different lyrics to any song. He didn't come up with that one but he couldn't hide his pride when she first sang it to him. :glare: I just keep telling myself that if that's the most undesirable behavior she ever exhibits I should count myself truly blessed.

Tree House Academy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I learned all those in grade school. Here is my favorite...sang to the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." *ahem* The restroom door said gentlemen So I just walked inside Took two steps then realized I'd been taken for a ride I heard high voices, turned around The place was occupied By two nuns, three old ladies and a nurse What could be worse Than two nuns, three old ladies, and a nurse The restroom door said gentlemen It must have been a gag As soon as I stepped in there I bumped into some old hag She sprayed me with a can of mace and hit me with her bag I could tell this just wouldn't be me day What can I say This just wasn't turning out to be my day The restroom door said gentlemen and I would like to find That crummy little creep who had the nerve to switch the signs Cause I have two black eyes and one high heel up my behind Oh, I'll never sit with comfort and joy Boy oh boy No, I'll never sit with comfort and joy It took me 9 hours of singing it over and over and over and over as my mom, grandparents, a friend and I drove to florida. Oh yeah, they were THRILLED. Did I mention, it was also the middle of summer? Gotta love being a kid!!

I was being silly one time and sang it for the kids...dh about fell off his chair that *I* would be the one to introduce this to them!

My daughter came home from 3rd grade singing this one: Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree! Why did you fall on me? You broke my arm, you broke my back You gave my mom a heart attack Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree! Why did you fall on meeee?
