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?

[j.argese]

I’m thinking I was probably about 8 years old, so 1969.

Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg,
The Batmobile lost a wheel
and the Joker got away.

I first learned this in ~1971-2.

[gopheraj]

Middle fifties for me in elementary school.

I was in Catholic grade school in the mid 70’s. I can remember because Sister Paula did NOT find the song amusing and scolded the entire sixth grade. We then sung it very quietly during outside recess. Just a thought.

1976 Huntsville AL.

1967 would explain why I never heard of this....smack in the middle of my USMC enlistment - pretty much a news void period.

[Mygirlsmom]

Lol, Dude....fun memories. My Dad, three brothers and I would watch Batman together every week. Afterward we'd play "No-Peeky Poker". It was the late 60's, and I of course learned the song from my ever so worldly big brother.

He was a treasure trove of playground hits including the "Comet" song and the ever popular "Glory Glory Hallelujia...Teacher Hit Me With s Ruler"

Alfred the butler after too much eggnog in the 40’s.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I first heard it just before Christmas 1966 in the school yard of Washington School in West Haven, Connecticut.

Answering this would require that I be able to look into the future.

Simpsons 1989

Thought it was the most brilliant thing my 11-year-old ears had ever heard.

[org.whodat]

What did he spell????

[mass55th]

I was born in '47 and remember it, but I couldn't tell you what year exactly. I believe it was when I was a kid in the 50's or a teen in the 60's.

Does anyone remember this jingle that I definitely recall from my childhood years:

"Whistle while you work, Hitler is a jerk. Mussolini cut his weenie, now it doesn't work."

[traderrob6]

Early to mid 60s

[Traveler59]

About 1965 (66?) in Minneapolis.

[Crawdad]

December 1968. Elba, AL.

[FrankR]

Not being a Simpsons fan, my generation's version was,

Jingle Bells, Shotgun Shells,
Shooting all away;
Oh what fun, it is to ride,
In Grandma's Chevrolet, hey.

Or something like that...

Then there is Cris Mattnew's verson...

Maybe “Mad Magazine”? (”What me worry?”)
