Subject: Children's Rhymes From the Eighties-wrong
Written By: the comic on 05/05/07 at 4:42 am
i hate to be the one to break the news to everyone, but most of what you have posted under "Children's Rhymes From the Eighties", i learned in the early and mid 70's.
and one you have all broken up should go;
On top of spaghetti, all covered with blood
I shot my poor teacher with a .44 slug
I went to her funeral, I went to her grave
Instead of throwing flowers, I threw handgrenades.
Glory, glory hallelujah.
Teacher hit me with a ruler.
Hid behind the door with a loaded .44
Now there ain't no teacher no more.

I think it depends on where you are from too...because there are different versions of those kinds of songs/rhymes. They may have originated earlier in the 70's...but a lot of us only remember them from the 80's because that's when we were growing up.

I definitely remember my sister's friends reciting the second one in the '70s. It might go back to the '50s.
The first emerged no earlier than the mid-'60s because it's a goof on that awful "My poor meatball" song.
:D
Speaking of....
Can anybody complete this for me, I forgot the second part:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag,
Michael Jackson is a f@g....."
It's some reference to the infamous Pepsi commercial where his hair caught fire!

I think it's something like
pepsi-cola blew him up
Now he's drinking seven up
Seven up went to jail
Now he's drinking ginger ale
I think i first heard that in the early 90s, maybe very late 1980s at summer camp

I think shows the difference between the US and the UK. The version I used to sing was
Glory, glory, halleujah
Teacher hit me with the ruler
The ruler went ruler and the teacher fell dead
and we ain't got school no more

I went to summer camp in the early 90s and heard something similar to this. Kinda funny. ;D
Ginger ale made him sick
Now he drinks chocolate Quik...
Actually... the version they sang at summer camp when I attended, went something like this:
Pepsi cola came to town,
Coca cola shot him down
Dr Pepper fixed him up,
Now we're drinkin' 7 up
Honk honk rattle rattle rattle crash beep beep x2

it says nothing about them being exclusive to the 80s or originating in the 80s, only that they were popular in the 80s.
Qurik recently volunteered to review the huge backlog of entries for that page (over 1000 submissions) so there should be a lot of new stuff appearing shortly.
