For the past 24 hours I've been singing a song that I literally have not heard or sung since the 1st grade.
Isn't it wierd how things just jump out of your brain's file cabinets unbidden and (sometimes) unwanted? I can't for the life of me think of what could have brought this particular tune out, but there you go. Mysterious things happen in the recesses of the human psyche.
My elementary school music teacher, Ms. Hintz, gave us this... And I guess it just keeps on giving. My daughters love it (just the first verse... That's all I could remember until I found the lyrics online).
Today, the rocker has gone retro... Like, back to Temple, NH elementary school retro...
Anyway, for your pleasure... Senor Don Gato.
Senor Don Gato
(English Version)
Written By: Unknown, Copyright Unknown
Oh Senor Don Gato was a cat
On a high red roof Don Gato sat
He went there to read a letter,
Meow, meow, meow
Where the reading light was better,
Meow, meow, meow
'Twas a love note for Don Gato
I adore you wrote the lady cat
Who was fluffy, white and nice and fat
There was not a sweeter kitty,
Meow, meow, meow
In the country or the city,
Meow, meow, meow
And she said she'd wed Don Gato
Oh, Don Gato jumped so happily
He fell off the roof and broke his knee
Broke his ribs and all his whiskers,
Meow, meow, meow
And his little solar plexus,
Meow, meow, meow
Ay Caramba cried Don Gato
Then the doctors all came on the runJ
ust to see if something could be done
And they held a consultation,
Meow, meow, meow
About how to save their patient,
Meow, meow, meow
How to save Senor Don Gato
But in spite of everything they tried
Poor Senor Don Gato up and died
And it wasn't very merry,
Meow, meow, meow
Going to the cemetery,
Meow, meow, meow
For the ending of Don Gato
When the funeral passed the market square
Such a smell of fish was in the air
Though his burial was slated,
Meow, meow, meow
He became reanimated,
Meow, meow, meow
He came back to life, Don Gato!

Nope, not ringing any bells, but it is good to know that I am not the only one that gets songs randomly popping into their head from the past. Quite often for me it is Miss Lucy had a baby, his name was tiny Tim she put him in the bathtub to see of he could swim....
Lately though I have been driven to the brink of insanity by I like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it. You know from Madagascar? Kenzie watches the movie about every other day in the car on the way to pick up Becca, so there is no escaping. Plus the new Madagascar movie is out and it is on the commercials as well as several other commercials, I can't get away from it and by the end of the day I've got the whole house singing it!!!
I swear I hadn't heard that one/ But I bet the kids loved it!!
