Prodigal Son of Rhetorical Friday

A Comma is a Pause at the end of a Clause. A Cat has Claws at the end of its Paws.


I refuse to participate in Rhetorical Friday. I mean it this time.


Good. So anyway, yesterday's quiz returned startlingly few results, but the 3 people who correctly answered "Limbo Rock" can give yourselves a hearty pat on the back for a job well done. Quite frankly, before yesterday's quiz started, I had no idea that song was done by Chubby Checker. Looking back, it does have that closed-throated Kermit the Frog voice to it, and it is a song that explicitly tells you how to dance to it...two hallmarks of every Chubby Checker song in existence...so the writing was on the wall.

For your edutainment, here are a handful of other potential answers, and the lyrics that make them great:

• Pony Time (Now haw, ya oh baby, oh baby, pretty baby, Do it baby, oh baby, oh baby, Boogety, boogety, boogety, boogety shoo)
  
• Toot (She's got a motor scooter with a little rubber tooter)
  
• Hey Bobba Needle (Baby I ain't lyin' lyin' lyin' Can't you see that I'm tryin' tryin' tryin' Don't cha know I'm tryin' tryin' tryin')
  
• Loddy Lo (La La La Lardy. Don't know the word to any song. Hey Lardy Lardy Lo)
  
• Cu Ma La Be Stay (Everybody forms a circle. Now somebody jumps inside. Jump it hit it now. You clap your hands. You stamp your feet. You do the jerk. To the cu ma la beat.)
