I don't know if you've noticed this, but being around very small children can make a grown adult act like a capering, idiotic clown. Witness my daily ritual of singing to my 3-month-old at the top of my lungs during a diaper change:Did you poop, poop, poop, poop your pants?
Did you poop, poop, poop, poop your pants?
If you're feeling warm and mushy then it's time to check your tushie
If you poop, poop, poop, pooped your pants!
The Poop Poop Poop Your Pants Song is an old family favorite from when my toddler was a baby. We also enjoy the following during baths, sung to the tune of "In The Summertime":
If your figs are clean, then your nuts are very nice
If your figs are clean, then your nuts are very nice
If your figs are clean, you're not stanky you're not stanky anymoooooore
(This is particularly entertaining when accompanied by an Ashlee-Simpson-esque hoedown dance.)
My husband sings an interesting rendition of "Hush, Little Baby" that features his own take on the lyrics:
And if that diamond ring don't shine
Daddy's gonna drink some turpentine
[...] And if that twenty-dollar bill don't change
Daddy's gonna buy you something strange
Riley's heard that song so many times he lustily sings along with his favorite lines: "TUPPENTINE!"
What kind of ridiculous songs are being sung in your household?

Heather said...The German word for butt, tushie, bottom is po-po. During diaper changes we sing:
"Don't put your hands on your po-po sweet baby, don't put your hands on your po.
"Don't put your hands on your po-po sweet baby, don't put your hands on your po.
"There are better things to do with your hands than put them on your po-po.
"So be aware, to put your hands down there simply...is...a...NO-NO!
"Don't put your hands on your po-po sweet baby, don't put your hands on your po."
"Don't put your hands on your po-po sweet baby, don't put your hands on your po."
(Daddy finishes with a good baritone, "You shouldn't put your hands on your po!")
The 3-year-old has heard this song all her life. Now she helps us sing it to the 3-month old.

When my two girls were really little 1 + 2 yrs old, that is what we called their private areas (tush and genitals) until we bought the Anastasia Sing Along Video and it features Danny Kay singing the song "Po Po the Puppet". All I know is that both my girls were yelling for me to come to the living room and there they were staring all red faced at the TV. I busted out laughing and after that they learned the correct terminology. :o)
My oldest daughter's name is Desireè so here is her song

alis said...My brothers made up a song that drove my mom nuts
It's called the Stranded song
Stranded, Stranded, Stranded on the toilet bowl
What do you do when your stranded and you can't find the roll?
To prove you're a man, you will wipe with your hand..
Stranded Stranded Stranded on the toilet bowl
That's what you do when your stranded and you can't find the roll.
There was another one dealing with squishing a bee in your hands and then licking it up then puking it up and then mopping it up but I don't remember all of it.

Uly said...Oh, I caught a little baby bumblebee... won't my mommy be so proud of me, I caught a little baby bumblebee - OUCH! it stung me!
Oh, I'm smushing up a baby bumblebee... won't my mommy be so proud of me, I'm smushing up a baby bumblebee - OH! It's squishy!
(Possible verse - I'm wiping up a baby bumblebee - oh it's sticky!)
Oh, I'm licking up a baby bumblebee - Oh! It's yummy!
Oh, I'm throwing up a baby bumblebee - Oh! It's yucky!
Oh, I'm mopping up a baby bumblebee - Oh! It's all clean now (or Oh! I see another one!)

nonsoccermom said...My husband has a variety of inappropriate (but funny) songs he sings to our four-month-old. Including:
Nobody loves a baby who cries
So shut your pie-hole
Or we'll sell you for crack
And now he's got the 5 year old on board. I'm so proud. *sigh*

Shawna said...At bathtime, to the tune of YMCA:
B-A-T-H!
It's time to go the the B-A-T-H.
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good scrub,
When you are in the tu-ub!
Young girl, are you listening to me?
I say young girl, you can get yourself clean.
Just go up to the B-A-T-H,
And you'll get so soapy...
(Not coincidentally, bath is now the first word she can spell)
At bedtime, to the tune of Bob Marley's Jammin':
"Pyjamas, pyjamas, we're py-jama-ing you.
Pyjamas, pyjamas, I hope you like pyjamas too.
Pyjamas, pyjamas, pyjamas, pyjamas..." etc.
