This song has been stuck in my head for over 20 years. In fact, when people count, I end up finishing off the numbers in my head at 12 and singing. Emily has said a few numbers before and I've finished by singing up to 12 and then singing out the number 12 like this: tweh-eeh-eh-eeh-eeh-eh-elve! Then she'd look at me weird. Well now she knows the reason behind my madness:
I always think of that song too! And I didn't even have TV when I was little, so it just doesn't make any sense.
ReplyDeletewow, i missed that one growing up. it must be the generation gap ;)
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Talk about associations that mess with your head...I'd forgotten it! And now I'm infected too...
ReplyDeleteNow that I have had a humanities education and seen the Beatles; Yellow Submarine, I can see how subversive that was. Little did I know as a kid, I was being brainwashed by an innocent show to behave like long-haired, drug-addicted hippie rock stars.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I had forgotten how Yellow Submarine-esque that whole thing really is. It was alway one of my very favorites and I also like to sing "twelve" from time to time.
