[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP is white, boy I'd be ticked off if I were black, for focusing on something so stupid and minute.

If OP is black, again, you're going to turn people away from the important stuff by picking apart something 99% of any color people have no idea is even a thing.[/quote]

+1,

+ who the hell is singing these songs, anyway? I had to look them all up and only recognized a couple.[/quote]
  :lol: 
I was also wondering who sings these songs regularly. “I’ve Benen Working on the Railroad” and the like aren’t songs I think of, let alone sing frequently. [/quote]

Same here.  Maybe my kids heard them at school but I've always found kids' songs to be sort of annoying so at home we listen to real songs and sing that.[/quote]

We sing shoo fly (which I also thought was about a sweetheart - the lyrics I know are “‘cuz I belong to somebody” and “I feel like the morning star”) when we’re outside and flys are bothering us.

DD has a book called Stagecoach Sal that has a lot of old songs in it. We sing Polly Wolly doodle because it gets stuck in our heads when we read that book.

I work in the railroad industry. Working on the railroad all the livelong day is kinda what I do. [/quote]
