sung to the tune of B-I-N-G-O:
"I know a really long, long word,
and 'antidisestablismentarianism' is its name-o!

...etc"
I have actually sung most of this to my kids, and they find it pretty fun. Most adults I've sung it to think I'm on crack.

The easiest verse is the last one. |
|
|
This is very similar to a song I know called Floccinauci- nihilipilification, which is sung to the tune of Respect by Aretha Franklin. |
|
|
Has anyone managed to sing it all yet? MP3's would be nice :-D |
|
|
Now do "Pneumonoultramicro- scopicsilicovolcanicconiosis". + |
|
|
This Song is almost as cool as Tron! |
|
|
[Nun] did you write the "Pneumo..... above you. |
|
|
something has gone horribly wrong. |
|
|
The page view is broken. Whoever annotated before [parvenu] should break up his / her long word. |
|
|
keep yelling for a moderator or Yamahito :) |
|
|
only kidding - Yama is a breath of fresh blood. |
|
|
I tried to break up the word. Did it fix anything? |
|
|
I think [Amos] may have made the same mistake |
|
|
Amos fixed it - move along - I got a new job, traffic cop |

Would this be a good time to mention a song by the Village People? The song was only released in Wales, and the chorus goes: Its fun to stay at L L A N F A I R P W L L G W Y N G Y L L G O G E R Y C H W Y R N D R O B W L L L L A N T Y S I L I O G O G O G O C H! |
|
|
ssshhhhhhhh they are all mad in that village sssshhh |
|
|
I know a stupid idea and "antidisestablismentarianism" is really lame-o. |
|
|
Yup. It seems that's the measure of a good halfbakery idea these days. |
|
|
this one - is meant for kids. |
|
|
Thanks for the support, po! |
|
|
My 4-year old was clapping it the other day, just for fun (the last verse, I guess). |
|
|
Ahhhh - and all this in my first visit to hb! Gracias! |
|
|
Don't mind waugsqueke, Matty. He's one of our many resident curmudgeons. Between annotations I'm sure he's busily yelling at kids to get off his lawn. |
|
|
Please don't apologize for me. I can handle that quite well, thanks. |
|
|
I can vouch for that. But I haven't seen many trollish *POSTS* from [waugwhatever]. |
|
|
I thought you took letters off from the end, not the beginning. |
|
|
[1keister] nope. clap out the first letter. |
|
|
[matty] i applaud your children for sticking around for most of this song. i imagine it can lose its charm somewhere around "ablish" or so... but i like it. + |
|
|
I actually wrote a song called "Antidisestablishmentarianism" once, and recorded it. Although the lyrics are slightly different. I read somewhere of two anagrams for "antidisestablishmentarianism": |
|
|
I am an artist and I bless this in me. |
|
|
His art is in, man! A mind blast! See it? |
|
|
From the title, I imagined this would be some kind of "bring down the system" cereal. Oh well. |
|
|
I have a recording of a friend of mine singing "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis" to the tune of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," as follows: |
|
|
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis |
|
|
Even though the sound of it is something that often cause neurosis |
|
|
If you say it loud enough you'll never suffer chronic halitosis |
|
|
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis! |
