Jun 19 2008The propaganda songCategory: Family FunMy husband has a knack for making up songs. Usually he uses someone else's tune, and substitutes his own (usually obscene) lyrics. One of my favorites is his version of Bruce Springsteen's "Backstreets." Instead of singing, "hiding on the backstreets," he replaces it with "gimme some string cheese." (Sing along -- it works.) The kids love to sing one of his more original tunes, "Every Day is Daddy's Day." Sung to the tune of "London Bridge Goes Falling Down," it goes like this: Every day is daddy's day Every day is daddy's day I call it the Daddy Propaganda Song. Nathan and Lucie burst into it frequently, most often in the car when I'm a captive audience. It drives me crazy, much to their amusement. And yes, there is a mommy version of the song using the same tune. It goes like this: We love mommy, yes we do! We love mommy, yes we do! Luckily, they don't sing this song too much. If they did, they'd probably go to bed without supper. All of them, including their dad.
