Adagio, this is quite authentic--good parody.

Thank, Royce. It's a true story...happened when I was about 7.

I gave three 5's just because this WASN'T about me!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you

Hehehe...thanks 'Michael'

fun to sing along with...5s

Thanks alvin!

Very good title, good substitutes for words of OS, and good "belle" line.

Thanks John.

Ouch!! 555

:D Thanks Kristof.

What did the Pink Panther say when he stepped on an ant? =)

"Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant.....etc."

Good job on the song as well (twit control stopped me from adding that after my comment driven by line 1)

Thanks Jeff. :)

This one was creative. 5-5-5

Thanks, Serafina.

Four of your fives for not going the obivous route (Jackson). And Jeff: Since you brought that chestnut out, where did the Lone Ranger take his garbage?

Thanks Michael.

Very clever and even more hysterically funny. Excellent rhymes and great imagery...say, did I ever mention I got a Davy Crockett imitation coonskin cap for my 5th birthday, along with one of those really cheesy "pop-guns"...you know...balsa wood handle, little tiny trigger, a thin, short metal barrel and...the coup de grace...a pitiful little piece of cork that was tied or cheesily fastened somehow to the barrel with a piece of string, so you didn't lose it (and also so it couldn't go far enough to hit anybody else...the string was maybe 10 inches long, at the most)...it made this lame little pipsqueak "pop" sound when you fired it...boy, I was in little boy heaven with that cheap-ass little pop-gun...somewhere on this earth there is a picture of me in our backyard back on 15 Carlin Street in Norwalk, Connecticut - grinning like a Junior Village Idiot in total glee to commemorate that 5th birthday and the bounty of gifts (cheesy pop-gun & coonskin cap and maybe a wiffle-ball or something)...I doubt any kid today is any happier with the most grand and expensive video game or whatever than I was with the junky little stuff...Anyway, you get extra "5's" from what's left of that happy, carefree, day-dreaming little boy in that long ago backyard...he'd have thought this parody was the greatest thing in the whole wide world 'cause he knew that song just about by heart...woulda had the giggles for a week and annoyed everyone in the house singing and probably have gotten in trouble at school, too...thanks!!! Oh...this 54 going on 55 year-old "boy" thinks it's a pretty neato-keeno piece of work, too...

"Sat on a mound of ants when I was seven" would have been harder to work with adagio, so I understand poetic licence comes into play here - very funny - 555 - and funny OS to use

Thanks Paul...took you back to childhood, eh?

Thanks, Stu...exactly why I used that age. :)

Pat, this is great! What Paul said up top. I had one of those pip-squeak air guns too. I think you really, really made his day with this song. Very clever, well paced and an all around cute nostalgic piece of work here. And to answer Mike Ps riddle. The Lone Ranger takes his garbage to the dump to the dump to the dump dump dump. A five gun salute to you from a volley of Davy Crocket air rifles from the Alamo City where Mr Crocket said his last hurrah.

Thanks Guy.....and lol on the Lone Ranger. I hadn't heard that one before. :D

(SOTM) Some way-out-there word play Adagio! Still tres cool....

Thanks Kristof!

(SOTM) See above comments.

Thanks Guy!

This one hits a little too close to home for me. I had an unfortunate fire ant experience while my family was on a road trip through the south when I was about 5. I was from NYC, so I assumed that these little critters were harmless, like the ones in Central Park. Big mistake. 555 for bringing up bad memories...

(sotm) :-)

Thanks Charlie and Scathe.

Charlie, I love to get rewarded for bringing up bad memories! :D

(SOTM) Very well written. "Eat my shorts!... uh oh..."

Thanks Luke. :)

3 or 7? Let's just call it an ante-ant recollection.

Thanks Peter.

I've been bitten by aunts many times - AND - my friends usually call me Teeny Sore Butt, so I can TOTALLY relate with this one. Nice job, Patagio.

Hehe...thanks, Spaff

(SOTM) See right here - HAR HAR !! Funny and poignant story, Pat!

Thanks Johnny

(SOTM) Ah, the beauty of nature!

(SOTM) Ants in the pants! Well done, and see above!

SOTM--Very funny, Adagio!

Thanks Jeff, Rex and Arwen.

sotm - commented and discussed before - very adagio! (and that's a good thing!)

Thanks Stu ;)

Heh heh. You said "butt". Nice job; I hate bugs.

Thanks, Claude. :)

Any song about butts is ok by me! Good work here :-)

Subbing in 'Teeny Sore Butt' for 'Davy Crockett' was pure genius. And you backed it up with them authentic Adagio fun-with-lines... um, lines. I often wonder if I'm nuts. And I just figured out that's why we all fit in here :c).

Thanks Armstrong! :)

That was just the pick up to my spirits that I needed, 2nz....thanks for the good, good words, sweet!

(SOTM) Pardon me, butt do you have any 5's?

Thanks Tim.

This song must have been a pain in the butt... 5's

Thanks Matthias.
