Can you pass on the lyrics :) please.



Ask and you shall receive!

There was a funny girl, she had a funny name,
She got it from her pappy just the same, same, same
Catalina Madalina Hoopensteiner Walenhimer Hogan Mogan Logan was her name

She had two hairs upon her head
One was alive and the other was dead
(repeat her name)

She had two teeth up in her mouth
One pointed east and the other pointed south
(repeat her name)

She had two eyes in the middle of her head
One was green and the other was red
(repeat her name)

Her nose was so long that when she sneezed
It got caught in between her knees
(repeat her name)

She had flat feet like a bathroom mat
But no one knows how they got like that
(repeat her name)

(very slowly and all sad like)
A ten ton truck hit Madaline
(pick up the tempo)
And the driver had to by himself a new machine
Ooooohhhhh!
Catalina Madalina Hoopensteiner Walenhimer Hogan Mogan Logan was her name


This is the version I learned---there are many, many ways to say her name. We also sang a similar song called Anna Kootcha Catcha Canna Toesinarra Toesinocah Sammy Kammy Wacky Brown, she fell into the well…but people really had trouble with that one.

John

2.Name you'd give yourself - if things worked that way?
Stephan

3.Craziest stunt you pulled as a kid?
When I was about 9, three of my sisters shared a room, all younger than me. One night I took a flashlight and hid under one of their beds before bed-time, dressed in black and wearing a Frankenstein mask. About ten minutes after my parents tucked them in and turned the lights off I quietly got out from under the bed, took a deep breath, and started dancing around the room, howling and waving the flashlight at them and the mask. Oh, they screamed and screamed! Scared the HELL out of them! Took my parents at least 15 minutes to calm them down. I got the worst spanking I can remember and was grounded for a month, but I still get a wicked smile remembering it!

Rorschach from The Watchmen

Auchtermuchtie (Scotland)

Hello everyone. I'm new to the site and thought this would be a good way to introduce myself. Here goes:

1. Christopher
2. Everyone is named Chris. I'd be Asher if I could.
3. Sorry, I was a good kid.
4. Die Flader Mouse, from the Tick. Anyone know how to spell that?
5. A windmill. I need darkness to sleep.
6. Blancmange, who knows where the sponge has been?
7. Hoverbike.
8. As the 80's were the years of my youth, I'd say they were great. However, there were those tiny shorts with tall socks that guys wore...
9. I'd like to say Kaylee, but she's usually covered in engine grease, so Zoe.
10. I can juggle. And do origami.
11. I just wanna eat this up like fork and yummy. (long story) Or does that mean a Firefly quote? Too many to choose from.
12. Doritos and Sweettart jellybeans. For the moment at least.
13. I sure hope so.
14. Yggdrassil.
15. Real American Hero
16. Not on mine, but I go nuts at hotels.
17. Umm.. Gamecube. PS sucks the fat one. For those who disagree, I'm on my second one and its about to die, not that I ever use it. What are Scalextrics?
18. "My first thought was, he lied in every word" from "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came". Sorry Manwithpez, but your line is from the Gunslinger, not from Robert Brown's poem.
19. Why isn't there a 19?
20. Gary Oldman's character in the Fifth Element. Funny and evil.
21. Funny bone. 12 years of soccer gets you used to toe pain.
22. Not that I know of.
23. Go for it dude. Unless she has lamb-y toes.

Thanks!! You are great!

My freind Jimi and I used to go around singing "Angelina, the waitress at the Pizzaria..." - but that's become old now.

Catalina Madalina However is the way forward.

6.If you fell and you had the choice would you like to fall into: Sponge or Blancmange?
Probably sponge, although I'm not entirely sure what Blancmange is.



It's a soft bouncy gellatinous blob. Used often in desserts like trifle (sp) I particularly remember it from school days. It was a frequent lunch time guest. Pretty horrible in fact I used to put my plate on top of it... It's weird stuff but I imagine falling onto a big blob of it would be fun....

Quote:

15.Next 80's TV show you think will be made into a film?(Lets face it it's just a question of time before they do another one!)
Transformers. It's in preproduction.



Oh right.. Interesting I guess it's an obvious choice given the CGI revolution. Hmmm.
