I seem to be reliving my childhood. Maybe it’s just the sentimentality I always feel as the school year ends. But yesterday’s post reminded me of another song.
Comet, it makes your mouth turn green
Comet, it tastes like gasoline
Comet, it makes you vomit
So get some Comet and vomit today!
This one uses the tune from Bridge on the River Kwai (Colonel Bogey March). A quick search online found variations that included Listerene and Vasoline, but those are just silly.
So far the most comments I have ever gotten had “crap” and “gopher guts” in the titles. (Even though some of the comments under gopher guts followed a tangent, I’m counting them dammit.) I think I have found my audience! And I have great hopes for “puke”.
My friends pulled me into the gutter. It was a big step up for me….

Now see I have many memories attached to the end of the school year. Some from my own years, some newer one from my students.
This, I’m afraid, did not make the cut.

Sadly, I just saw Kwai for the first time not too long ago…and now I know why that tune sounded so familiar already.

I just “got” your comment on my page today. It honestly comes from commenting almost every day to peoples’ sites. I guess you could say I’m a comment whore:) I know that when people comment to me, I do make the effort to go to their page more often than those who don’t…for what it’s worth.

Glad I could be of assistance! Now, lemme see what I did with that clip of John Belushi singing the Comet song….

Janet, so give us one of the silly songs that DID make your cut!
Becky, LOL. I know I learned that song before I ever saw the movie too. Oh, and thanks for the info and for lei’ing me twice!
Lewis, we would be forever in your debt. Well, maybe not forever….
Webmiztris, see… you weren’t so sheltered after all!
