Yeah that's how I remember it. I've never heard this song in my life.
Stupid American here.
I just read that in the angry German voice and cracked myself up.
Thanks.
Rage increasing in cresendo as the spelling progresses.
** JA!! **
The angry German voice?
Maybe he means this one?
JA!
My god... I could have gone the rest of my life not remembering that!
I learnt it from Alvin and the Chipmunks iirc.
M I, double S, I double S, I double P, I.
I could spell it, but I didn't know what it was.
I was too young to ever do it, but those 'follow the bouncing ball' songs must have been a lot of fun back in the day.
The early movies used a lot of vaudeville/music hall ideas.

No.
I never saw that show.
Back in the day, the cartoons that ran between movies would often have a song with the lyrics shown as subtitles.

Sorry, I was just messing about. That show was my earliest memory of the bouncing ball on songs, and your comment reminded me of it.
It's all good.
