Also currently the subject of a deletion discussion.

My roommate was listening to a Bee Gees greatest hit CD a while back and one of the songs on it was called ”Holiday”. I initially assumed the song had something to do with potty training.

The chorus doesn’t actually have any words in it, it’s just the vocalist singing “dee dee dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee DEE-DEE dee dee”. But the melody for that part is very distinctive and catchy.

The first time I heard it, I thought they were singing “pee pee pee pee pee pee…” instead. In other words, I assumed the song was about a parent trying to potty-train a child!

That sort of made sense at first, since some of the lines in the verses are kind of cutesy* and could be interpreted that way. But then I learned they weren’t actually singing “pee“ and so my potty-training theory fell apart entirely….

*That was rather common back in the late 60s, I guess. Flower children, summer of love, bubblegum and all that.

Yesterday I was walked around my apartment complex and I saw some neighbors had put a sign up outside their garage saying “Skibidi birthday ya rizzler”. I’m way outside the target age group for things like that, but it was still kind of funny to see.
