Two Disturbing Things

Okay I'm posting a youtube video - but NOT because I like it. Actually quite the opposite, I find this song really terrible.

The weird thing is that I have had the lyrics of this song in my head since I was five years old and I have never forgot them. A daughter of good friends of my parents (she was about five years older than I) taught it to me when I was really little and it STUCK. I'm pretty sure we even performed it for our parents.

I was back in Manitoba this past September, at the cabin of my parents friends and I decided to ask them "What song is this that I've had in my head basically my whole life, and who's lyrics I can't forget?" I sang a few bars - they had no idea.

Well I googled it, and here it is and OH NO, it's classified as country, just to add insult to injury:


I think I will remember this song until the day I die, but can I remember all the things I need to do in a day? No....weird isn't it?

On a related note, I saw something else from my childhood while I was at the lake in September. I asked my parents friends if they still had this creepy head that haunted me as a child....and they did!! Check it out:


It's the one on the bottom - and again, it scared me to death. You would pull the tie and it would laugh and then spit at you! What the hell? It seriously gave me nightmares.

And yes, the one above is spooky too! My sister-in-law was like "Is that a coconut?" It was. "With it's bangs trimmed?" Yes.

Okay, I've never heard this song. EVER. And it's country? Really? Yeah, it's pretty awful.
As for those heads - do you know where they got them? And better yet - why they kept them for so long?
They would have creeped me out too.

Yah, never heard that song either! Sorry that it's perma-imbedded in your head!

Those heads *are* super creepy.

I think having this song stuck in your head since childhood and the scarring it produced would justify a insanity plea if ever you happen to go on a killing spree. As for the creepy head that spits at you, just spit back.

That second pic is scary but also time appropriate for October. I found the top more disturbing than the bottom one. Oh my God, Miss Arby, no wonder you turned out this way ;)
