Playground Song | comment |
A Playground Song is a simple, vocal-only song that is popular amongst children. They usually have a relatively straightforward tempo, with the lyrics as the only real consideration. Often, they are meant to be open-ended, allowing for either improvisation or indefinite running length. Almost all infinite (or seemingly infinite) loop songs are either a Playground Song or descended from one. These songs are prone to Memetic Mutation and very few of them have a recorded origin. Some go back centuries. A lot are far darker and more cynical than media producers give children credit for, including the numerous musical Barney and Teletubbies Death Fics. The name comes from the fact that the vast majority of the time, these songs are heard on playgrounds and in other public areas that have a lot of children. That doesn't stop them from coming up in other situations, though. "Children's Song," while a more generally accepted term, can also be applied to pretty much anything specifically aimed at prepubescent children (such as songs featured on Sesame Street and similar TV shows). This article will focus exclusively on songs that circulate through elementary schools via memes and Oral Tradition. Many of these songs are in the Public Domain, despite some of the newer playground songs explicitly referencing copyrighted works. A creator may also write their own original song to mimic the effect of a playground song, but those don't necessarily count; then again, children are likely to pick up such songs and bring them into the playground repertoire. Trying to list all the Playground Songs out there is a mostly futile endeavor. There are just way too many of them with way too many mutations and a lot of songs pop up and fade out of existence quickly. Instead, we will only list examples of their use in fiction. Please list examples with the first entry detailing the title of the song (or, if there is no definitive title, the first stanza) and list all examples of usage/mutations under it. Compare and contrast Nursery Rhyme and Ironic Nursery Tune. See also Mocking Sing-Song and Kissing In A Tree. Beware of Creepy Children Singing. The Bawdy Song is the equivalent for adults. |

Probably the most famous one is the one from A Nightmare on Elm Street: This song, Freddy's theme, is a corruption of One, Two, Buckle My Shoe. The above version is often sung at an actual playground in dream sequences before a switch to the signature boiler room that Freddy uses for his killing grounds. It has also made the rounds as an actual playground song, along with one about Jason. |

"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg..." Appeared twice in The Simpsons - once sung by Bart, and once sung by Robert Goulet. Goulet also did this one: "Jingle bells, Prickly smells, Menlo's such a drag. Ashley Girls flip their curls, and Finster is a hag." Sung by (who else?) The Joker himself in the Christmas Episode of Batman: The Animated Series. Sung by The Flash in an episode of Justice League Unlimited. Batman himself in a comic in the first version of "Bizarro Comics" Robin of Teen Titans Go!! is seen reading a newspaper with the partially-obscured headlines "Batmobile lost wheel" and "Joker got away". It also appears in episode 521 of Mystery Science Theater 3000, in which Mike and the bots sing it during the opening credits to the film Santa Claus. Filk-rapper The Great Luke Ski incorporated this into his "Fanboy Christmas" medley, including a second verse about other Batman characters. This Hub promo also parodies the Batman version of Jingle Bells. One of the Junie B. Jones books is titled Jingle Bells, Batman Smells. P.S.: So Does May. It was also adapted into a stage show. In the book, Junie B. and some of the other characters sing the song, but Junie B. makes her up her own lyrics that involve May, a tattletale classmate that she dislikes. It has a second verse: A Pokémon version: Morgan sings this in the first-season Christmas episode of Boy Meets World, prompting Amy to teach her the correct lyrics. Nicky Pike from The Baby-Sitters Club is fond of singing this on car trips, to the utter annoyance of his large family. His own variants include "Jingle bells, Santa smells, Rudolph broke his leg" and another that begins "Jingle barf", but he is cut off by his father before he can continue the latter. The song even has a Barney variant: There are some creative people in real life who have made a Christmas display out of it, such as this. Tom Scott surveyed over sixty thousand people to make this video compiling as many versions of the rhyme as possible. Spongebob Squarepants has "Jingle bells, Mermaid Man smells, Barnacle Boy laid an egg..." An early For Better or for Worse comic has one of Michael's classmates singing this on the bus to a school field trip. A Robot Chicken sketch has a kid sing this when the actual Batman and Robin show up, who are not amused. |

Feet of Clay has an in-universe example; Vimes wants to know what kids in his old neighborhood sing when they play hopscotch, and asks a maid if it's "Salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper." She replies that that's a skipping rhyme and when they play hopscotch they sing "Billy Scuggins is a brass stud." This is based on a kid Vimes actually knew that was a Butt-Monkey, and was originally "William Scuggins is a bastard." | |
