TOE TAPPIN' TIME

[critic75]

Okay, here I go again. Inflicting, infecting, or maybe sometimes inspiring. Nah, I won't go that far. Just be grateful that I didn't post some of my other nonsense. This is an all time favorite toe-tapper. WITH WORDS. Have you guessed by now, that musically, I'm kind of stuck in the sixties?

The 60's

[fansee]

Where WAS I during the 60's??? I swear, I never heard "Wooly Bully" before or even heard OF it. *sigh*

One quibble: Whoever wrote down the words, made the same mistake more than once (or once't, as we said in Arkansas). The singer clearly said 'thang,' not 'thing.'

Thank you for broadening my cultural horizons. FanSee

Back in the day, some of the radio stations refused to play it because they couldn't understand the words. I know I thought he was saying "Hadacol Hattie", but maybe you heard "Little Red Riding Hood" which was one of their big hits, and was a song featured in a Bruce Willis movie named "Striking Distance."
I'm so proud to know that I have contributed to your cultural enlightenment. Call on me anytime.

I've always contended that another song (unrelated) was misnamed. It clearly should have been, "Oh, I'm Thanking tonight of my Blue Eyes, and I wonder if he ever Thanks of me."

"Little Red Riding Hood" awhoooo, I mean "baaa" cracks me up to this day. This are great songs to song bomg someone with; they stay with you for days!

Oh, you are so right! That really is something I get afflicted with. A song gets stuck in my head, and stays there for days. I have just got rid of "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddeh." However, the Songs of the Sixties don't haunt me as long. Maybe because I never remembered all the words.

I think "Little Red Riding Hood" is a true 60's classic. And it's fun, too.

The thing is when you are a kid or a teen you hear a song and you think it says one thing and when you get older and hear it again you go "whoa". Not just because you got the song wrong, but the meaning, too! That's why I love that car commerical where people are singing Elton John's "Rocket Man" and getting the lyrics wrong.

My personal favorite is when my baby brother was little he would sing "Oh, beautiful for spaceship guys" (instead of, you know, spacious skies). To this day I think of him and smile when someone sings "Oh Beautiful".

That's adorable. . . . and it makes sense, too. No one ever calls a sky spacious. but they do say 'spaceship guys.'
Mine was a hymn. While they sang 'bringing in the sheaves,' I was singing 'bringing in the cheese.' I never heard of a sheaf or sheaves, but it made sense that they would bring that cheese in.

Nope, never heard "Little Red Riding Hood" and haven't seen "Striking Distance." Hadocol I've heard of even though I never indulged. My Daddy used to say Hadacol was a way for teetotalers to get a buzz on.

I really do need help. FanSee

Help is on the way. Here is the link.

I think the originator of Hadocol must have taken the letters in alcohol and just changed it a wee bit.
