      I was forced to sing it in school in the 90s. Along with the Jamba The Hutt/McDonalds song.

        This comment thread now feels uniquely American.

        I have never heard those songs, in the 90s at school and scout camps in Australia we would sing Ging Gang Goolie, Alice the Camel, and Ain’t no Flies.

        Also for some reason we would chant about how ugly and unlovable we are and resign ourselves to eating worms… Children’s songs are so unhinged.
