Tipper Gore, Where Are You?!?

    Those blasphemous Wiggles have finally done it. THE BIG RED-tricked out-hoopdee-CAR-riding pimps crossed a line with their cover of Mother Goose’s “Hot Cross Buns.” The mere existence of subsequent verses following the standard “one-a-penny two-a-penny” stanza raises suspicion. When paring the suggestive lyrics with subversive choreography (flirtatious curtseying and hand flourishes), the motive seems abundantly clear. The Wiggles flaunt their sexuality and objectify their female ensemble members at the expense of America’s youthiest-of-youth. Take a gander at these explicit lyrics from their recent DVD release “Sing A Song of Wiggles”

    Hot Cross Buns:

    Attractive Young Bun-Seller-Lady Beckons…

    Fresh sweet buns
    Come and buy my buns
    One a penny two a penny
    Fresh sweet buns

    Captain Feathersword responds laciviously:

    Nice light buns
    Lovely current buns
    First I’ll buy them then I’ll try them nice light buns

    and then they…WALTZ!!!!

    Dear Adlibby (I almost wrote Aunt Libby…wierd)

    Thank you for this recognition and for the sincere, kind words on you blog. Frankly I feel overwhelmed. I can’t begin to take advantage of all the offerings at the Bloggyland Buffet, and choosing among my new friends stresses me out. I feel the need to recognize and reciprocate and respect–all matter of things “R” related. Thankfully you’ve already handed this out to some of my favorite bloggy peeps, and in doing this have made my job a bit easier.

    Today I bequeath the Butterfly Award to Amy over at Bitchin’ Wives Club. She was my first official bloggy-land follower, and geniune friendship ensued. How lucky is that? Plus she is smart as a whip, funny as hell, a great photographer and writer, and she parents three boys. Cool, indeed.

    Don’t forget to go over to Adlibby’s place–she’s hilarious and soulful, sometimes simultaneously!

    Secondly, a thanks so big I need to write THANKS!!!!! to Dizz over at Soggy-Doggy-Bloggy for this badge she created herself just for me!

    Patti, thank you so much for this award, and for your bloggy support. Your generosity fosters a spirit of comaradarie and enthusiasm that promotes creativity and positivity in the blogosphere.

    Now. Go check out Dizz’ commentary on parenting and more. She makes me laugh and subsequently scares me to death about my future with older children.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

      They are one of Australias greatest gifts to the world. Middle aged men in coloured skivvies. There is something decidedly creepy about that. Strangely my grown daughter still has a thing for Geoff. They are all millionaires many times over…where did I go wrong. Now I realise its not about the skivvies its all in the lyrics….I thought you were going to say nice tight buns…

      Wow girlie you are a rock star greatest blogger person girlie!!!

      I am proud of you getting all these awards and you know what????

      You totally deserve it!!! Enjoy!!!

      Happy Pappy Friday!!!

      Just to make it worse, as I was reading Captain Feathersword’s response, I initially thought he said “Nice tight buns”. Then I re-read it. Oh. Right. That’s better. Sort of.

      I recently discovered your blog and am loving it. Glad to hear you have some awards to show for your love of bloggy creativity. Have a great weekend!

      Congrats on the awards!

      My three year old grandson is obsessed with the Wiggles. Of course, given all the other things he does (like heading for parts yonder anytime he gets the chance), anything that has him sitting still is a good thing!

      The Wiggles are a perversion of children’s music. You need a good Dan Zanes CD as an antidote to their pancaked smiling visages.

      AND THANKS FOR THE AWARD!!!! I love poorly worded Blog awards! (… seriously, “For the coolest blog I ever know” ? Don’t bloggers EVER employ copy editors???)

      Seriously, though Thank You so much!!! You are the best blogging buddy and friend in real life that a kinda crazy almost-walked-out-the-door-with-YOUR-kid girl like me could hope for! 🙂

      T. Allen-Mercado, Thanks! Yup, the 80s when Tipper was loving censorship

      Lilly, see that’s the thing about them. They make you THINK “nice tight buns” its subliminal

      Schmutzie, Mwah! (kiss)

      Michelle, Thanks gal. Its a good day.

      Crazy Mo, like I said subliminal. Thanks for dropping by!

      Michele, good question

      Thanks Grandpa, and thanks for stopping over.

      Lisa, you rock! No YOU!

      Tooj, thanks so much.

      Jeanne, Amen to that.

      Amy, LOL I know, but I didn’t want to seem ungrateful pointing that out. You ungrateful freak.

      Kmc, thanks so much bastard! Its that whole i before e except after c rule..trips me up everytime.

      Thanks for the warning. Us ‘aunts without children’ are sometimes not in the loop. I was warned off of the whole Bratz thing, and one of my BIL’s had an issue with Winky from Teletubbies (obviously his own fears at work there.) Clearly I need to avoid these lascivious Wiggles as well…

      Ok once I thought that Anthony was fairly attractive – and then I found my self singing “toot, toot, chugga, chugga big red car” out loud, at work! That’s when I knew there was something seriously wrong with me. By the way who heard of a dinosaur that gardens?

      I’m lucky in that my nephew is six years old so he doesn’t watch that show and his little sister wants to be so much like her big brother that she only watches what he likes with the exception of Dora the Explora.
