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

Posted on 12/05/2010 6:27:36 AM PST by 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?

1967ish

I’d still like to solve the mystery of why I can instantly recall those grade-school jingles but I can’t remember where I put my @#$%^&* car keys an hour ago.

>> “Whistle while you work, Hitler is a jerk. Mussolini cut his weenie, now it doesn’t work.”

LOL! Yes, except the local variant of the second stanza was “Shot a BB up his wee wee now it doesn’t work.”

Did it go like this:
Comet, will make your mouth turn green. Comet, it tastes like gasoline. Comet, will make you vomit, so get some Comet and vomit today!

I new the words to the batman song in the early sixties.

What memories!

I remember this from my childhood (early 70's), during the "Red Threat".

Speaking of changing world threats, my husband was in the Army (infantry) during the mid to late 80's. I came across his training flash cards the other day, and all of the tanks, equipment, etc. that he had to memorize were Russian vehicles. It's is kind of amazing that just 25 years ago the threat was still from the Soviet Union, and today it is Islamic terrorism.

Sister Paula did NOT find the song amusing

It was the late 60's for me -what do you think Sister Paula would have thought of "Hark the hair lipped Angels sing....? one I heard several years later!

1968, at a friend’s 8th birthday party in L.A. - Lower Arkansas. It was after sundown and we were all walking next door to another friend’s house when one of the boys sang it. Why do I remember that much detail?

School bus - late 1960’s

Also the first place I heard the word “fart” used. In my house, one could never use a word like that, it wasn’t proper!!

Around the same time I heard another silly spoof /childhood favorite:

MacDonald’s is your kind of place,
Hamburgers in your face,
French fries between your toes
Dill pickles up your nose
And don’t forget those chocolate shakes
Made from polluted lakes
MacDonalds is your kind of place!

Early 1970’s.
