Where were you when you first heard "Batman Smells?" (vanity)

[MNDude]

I'm trying to learn the origins of the playground parody "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, Robin Laid an Egg...". What year and where did you first here this parody?

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Oops!!!!
Didn’t see the other Whistle while you work songs.

Cheers!

"No, but I remember, "When Hitler says we are the master race, I'll spit, I'll spit right in the fuhrer's face"."

Spike Jones recorded that during the war.

I think I heard it for the first time yesterday here on FR.

I’d be curious if anyone at elementary school in the ‘80s sung this to the tune of Frere Jaques:

R2D2, R2D2
C3PO, C3PO
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Princess, too
Princess, too

Or if my schoolmates were just weird....

Hi Ho Hi Ho
It’s off to school we go

With razor blades and hand grenades
Hi Ho Hi Ho

Yes, I was born in Jan, ‘42 and they were still singing it when I was 7 or 8 years old. Lots of relatives of mine were in the service during WWII.

The television series was from 1966-1968. Guessing it was during that time period.

[InvisibleChurch]

I heard it first after the Batmobile lost its wheels.

[catfish1957]

Probably in 3rd or 4th grade around 1966/1967.

We are about the same age, but I remember it as Jingle Bells, Shotgun Shells..... Rabbits all the way!!!!!!

I was driving the family north from Naples to Rome on the Autostrada del sol in about Dec 1976. My sons were singing it. That was the first time I’d heard it. Also heard the “you smelt it, you dealt it,” and “who denied it supplied it” mantra as well.

[r9etb]

I would have heard it about 1966, when the TV series showed up on TV. Probably not before that, although the comic books existed.

I heard a little kid singing it today....

[Crawdad]

“The smeller’s the feller.”

[r9etb]

“Would I, would I?”

LOL.... wonder how many folks have heard that joke.

I remember the one from the late 60’s from the tune to the western “Branded”:

Stranded.
Stuck on the bathroom bowl.
What do you do when you’re stranded.
And there’s nowhere to go?

You must wipe with your hand
to prove you’re a man.
Stranded.

A buddy of mine’s younger sister was a tom-boy and always wanted to fit in and hang out with us. She bragged that she had “wiped with her hand” to prove that she was “man enough” to hang out with us 4th graders!n (Ewww.....)

[bannie]

I vote for early/middle 60’s. I was still a bit of a kid.

[bannie]

I remember that one, too! We, however, rode in TEACHER’s Chevrolet. ;-)

[bannie]

...I hit her in the bean with a rotten tangerine...
...and her teeth came marching oooooouuuuut.

Then I remember...MUCH later...
“Glory, glory what a heck of a time they had when they tried to make a WAC out of me.”

[Yaelle]

I remember both that mcdonalds song and the batman one from the playground, early 70s, woodland hills, California.

“...I hit her in the bean with a rotten tangerine...
...and her teeth came marching oooooouuuuut.”

When I was but a wee tot (mid-60’s), we used to sing,
“I shot her through the door
With a loaded .44
Now teacher don’t teach no more.”

My husband, who grew up during the same time period, sang of the rotten tangerine as the weapon of choice. Either that or the long-suffering teacher was hit on the butt with a rotten coconut. He was scandalized that, sweet little girl that I was, I sang about bringing a firearm to school.

Anxious to reclaim his illusions that females were the sex of a gentle variety, and that the olden days were a kinder time, he asked my Mom (born in 1935) how she completed the song. She told him, “I think we used the .44, too.”

Hubby grew up a lot that day.
