Singing songs to my son: The Titanic Song

[jacquez]

I grew up in a singing household -- my mother sang all time, and we were always singing along to the radio or the record player/tape player/CD player, and then we went to camp and there are So. Many. Camp. Songs

"A Boy and a Girl in a Little Canoe" is one of the most disturbing children's songs I know...

I KNOW, RIGHT??

At least she gets out and swims. And hopefully breaks up with his jerk face.

eta: I should say, in the version I know, she gets out and swims, and you end the song with jazz hands and "get out and swiiiiimmmmm!"

[jacquez]

(hah, there seems to be a version where HE ends up swimming and she paddles the canoe away. Good for her.)

Yeah, that's the version my camp always changed it to.

I like to think she just whacked him upside the head with her paddle. In the version we sung, she didn't have a paddle.
