Young McGinger and her friends are big fans of a show called Veggie Tales, which seems to involve some kind of talking cucumber named Larry, who sings a lot of silly songs. One of those silly songs is entitled The Hairbrush Song. I have to confess – I like it. It is supremely awful, but it makes me giggle for some reason.
Unfortunately, and as I should probably have warned you before you watched that video, once you’ve heard it once it is impossible to remove it from your brain. It burrows in there like a determined tick, and starts worming its way into the centre of your very being. You’ll hum it all day. Then it’ll go to sleep for a little while, only to resurface all of a sudden when you’re looking for your keys or something.
And so it is that, quite often, I find myself running frantically around the house, searching madly and singing “Oh wherrrrrrre… are my car keys? Oh wherrrrrrrrrrrrrrre… are my car keys?” – which then of course means that once again I’m singing the stupid thing all day long.
It happened this morning, and now I swear I want to chop that cucumber’s head right off.

“cos your his cheeseburger.. his yummy cheeseburger”.

I’m with Becky. Veggi tales Rock!
Ally hang your head in shame.
McGinger had Oh Santa as her ring tone over the festive season and I just loved to hear her sing “and I’ve come to rob your bank and steal your knickers”. It was indeed nickles they had come to steal…
The peach has a brush cut the coconut should have got the hairbrush!!!!
Ally – oh wherrrrrre…. is your inner child?
Tony – HA HA HA HA! I watched it and I love it. Love it!! Boo hoo moo moo boo hoo moo moo – these are just classic lyics. I am so grateful!
Re-Becky – ah, the Cheeseburger Song. I didn’t go for that one just as whole-heartedly as the Hairbrush Song, but it is up there. But not above Boo Hoo Moo Moo, which, seriously, you must watch. Follow the link Tony left. Go now!
McBouncy – oh dear. I think your child has a really weird enjoyment of singing about underwear – let us not forget the Ladies’ Bras scenario. I still remember my utter confusion when the two of you serenaded me with that…
Natalie – bravo! Enter into the spirit of the thing. And also, boo hoo, moo moo! He he.
Oooooookay. Must write a serious post soon. Ohhhh – about the sad Cebu!! Boo hoo moo moo…
