Fun, quirky, cute, old tunes!
If anyone's got one, post it, post it! :D

For example, the "Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" song. Short, bouncy, fun stuff!

Like, Pop goes the Weasel, the Pop-Eye the Sailor Man song, old cartoon songs...Funny old songs like "She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain", or "Buffalo Girls Won't you Come out Tonight".

Heck, even silly old jingles like "I wish I were an oscar meyer weiner, than everyone would be in love with mee~" (that is a legitimate old commercial jingle for oscar meyer hot dogs, from my mom's generation. hot dogs used to be called that, still are, in some cases)

Just stuff you could whistle, hum, or sing repeatedly on the bus and drive everyone crazy, with xD (if u were so inclined, hee hee...)

Lil' tunes that may bring a smile to your face if you're having a bummer of a day :D

Come on "all y'all" (lol)! WPers, I'm sure at least some of you have a fun little shanty, tune, or even a sea-ditty, you could share ;D

The world needs mo' happy lil' ditties :D! !

Ya put the lime in the coconut...

The first time I heard "Lovely bunch of coconuts" was on the Two Ronnies.
I got the feeling in that sketch that the "coconuts" were replacing the word "boobs".

Haha, nice. Yeah that's a fun one xD
But I don't get why the coconuts would be "boobs". I mean, yeah, everyone knows that slang..
But with lime? AAAAah, no, nvm. Prolly some innuendo worse than what I wanna imagine e.e I'll just leave that riiight there, lol.

It's well worth the wait.

It's a bonafide classic.
