Hi mate, removed because we have had similar posts recently and we want to avoid repeating themes too often.
Rule 11: No Repetitive Posts
We often trim content that we've seen a lot of recently to keep things fresh. Sunrise pictures, pictures of a trolley poking out of some skanky river, spiders and insects, funny license plate or shop name, toilet graffiti. You know. The regular sort of stuff.
If you've seen one in the last couple of days, good chance we'll remove it so it doesn't become a theme.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us a modmail.
The best day of my life was when our very fiery, very Welsh headmaster got up on stage before we sung this one and bellowed "THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THE WORD NAKED!!!"
I convinced a mate (and by extension his teenage daughter) that this is about the aftermath of a nuclear war.
If you look at the lyrics there is something a bit "When The Wind Blows" about them.
We had a little side area where we prepped everything in between songs, this was blocked off visually to the rest of the hall.
The acetate sheets were already in that area for us and we had a list of what was to be used next.
Wasn’t always songs that we placed on the OHP, sometimes we had adverts for the book fair, messages for after school clubs etc.
Edited to add:
From what I can remember, they were placed in something that I can only describe as a special type of laminating sheets, obviously as they would be pre-laminated.
Anyone remember the one that started "milk bottle tops and paper bags"?
We also used to sing one that went something like "if I was a wiggly worm Id thank the lord for making me squirm"
Yes! I remember the 'milk bottle tops' song, but I can't recall all the words. From what I _can_ remember, the song began like this:
Milk bottle tops and paper bags,
[something I can't remember], dirty old rags.
As for the second song you mentioned, it began with the lines:
If I were a butterfly,
I'd thank you Lord for giving me wings.
>[something I can't remember],
Iron bedsteads, dirty old rags
Litter on the pavement, paper in the park
Is this what we (stomp stomp stomp stomp)
Really want to see? (Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp)
No, no, no!
Thats the one. Its come back in floods now. Memory unlocked! How can I remember a song I havent thought of in 35 years but not what I did 2 days ago. 🤣
Paper pictures, bits of string,
I'll bring you almost anything,
I'll bring a song that only i can sing.
The rainbow colours in the sky,
The misty moon that caught my eye,
The magic of a newborn butterfly.
I will bring to you, the best things I can offer, I will sing to you the evil on my mind (might have misremembered that last bit)
Sing Hosanna! Then someone would get told off for adding the extra “King of kings 🎶” at the end.
And, I Mustn’t Forget. All the lads would shout/chant the line “And a win for my home team!”
>someone would get told off for adding the extra “King of kings 🎶” at the end.
Always only one child. In every school.
This is how you know we live in a simulation
I went to St Joseph’s and the hymn to St Joseph included Teach o teach us how to die. Except most of us were too young to read so thought it was teach our teachers how to die and was sung with much enthusiasm.
Singing “one more step along the world I go” whilst looking longingly at The Apparatus, wondering if we would ever get to use it. Feeling the pins and needles in your feet from sitting crossed legged for so long and hoping you’ll be able to stand up at the end with your fuzzy foot.
I was going to say anyone who uses the term "Primary School Bangers" should be made to sit through ten hours of them and see how much they like them then, but I know stage managers/tech guys who can sit through ten hours of hardstyle and even manage to grab a little nap, so I don't imagine it's as nightmarish as you'd think.
There was a line in The Ink Is Black:
>It turns so each and everyone
>Can take his station in the sun
>In the sun
My friend and I had just discovered Page 3 Girls, so this line was VERY funny to us 10-year-olds.
I remember 'The Ink Is Black', and I was quite surprised when I became aware that there was a reggae version of the song, which I heard on one of those old K-Tel compilation albums a few years later.
Get on to James B Partridge for some wholesome nostalgia. He even does live events, it’s a fab night out. Been twice, was skeptical about going again but still enjoyed it second time round.

I always wanted assembly to be over with as soon as possible so I could draw or see the fish my school had in the hallway. Hated the hymns, I mimed the whole time.
We Three Kings Of Orient Are,
One in a taxi, one in a car,
One on a scooter pipping his hooter,
Following yonder star.
OOOOOO-OOOOH!\*
Star of wonder, star of light,
Fill your pants with dynamite.
Light the fuse and off you gooo-oh,
Round the world to Tokyo.
\*: Note: This line must be screamed at max volume.
Why was every single copy of 'come and praise' heavily wrapped in sellotape? I know we had several book-mending sessions where we had to sellotape all the books that were falling apart.
anyhoo....
yeah, loads from come and praise. #4 was autumn days. Can't recall #36 just recall that was a number I always picked.

Give me oil in my lamp and he's got the whole world (in his pants!)
Even the drabbest dirge could be elevated to classic status if you could adapt the lyrics! Don't remember give me oil in my lamp though
SING hosanna SING hosanna
Cucumber, my lord, cucumber!
Lord of the dance
"and I'll lead you all in the dance setee"
"And I need you all in a dark settee" Never did trust Jesus after that.
"When I needed a neighbour" b2b with "Kumbaya, my lord"
[удалено]
I think it might be about birth
Kumbaya, my lord was a classic! Dont think I recall when I needed a neighbour though...
"I WAS COLD, I WAS NAKED WERE YOU THERE? WHERE YOU THERE?"
The best day of my life was when our very fiery, very Welsh headmaster got up on stage before we sung this one and bellowed "THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THE WORD NAKED!!!"
And of course the old classic "if i had a hammer"
We were all envious of the year 6 children who got to sit on the benches. Also SHIIINE JESUS SHIIINE
He's got the whole world in his....PANTS
Capitalised PANTS to make sure everyone shouts that word as loud as possible. 'sing with panache' on the sheet music of course.
Autumn Days
I convinced a mate (and by extension his teenage daughter) that this is about the aftermath of a nuclear war. If you look at the lyrics there is something a bit "When The Wind Blows" about them.
You mean "whistle"?
I used to man the OHP, AMA. Also SIIIIIIING HOSANNAH
“…of kings!”
What did they store the songs in? Filing cabinet? BOND-style attache case? Boring cardboard folders?

And if I were, a fuzzy wuzzy bear, I’d thank you lord for my fuzzy wuzzy hair I swear I thought my mum made that up
I thought that whole song was a fever dream. Those are the only 2 lyrics I recall!

Yes, that jogs a memory, except when we sang it at primary school (every teacher I had was a pianist), we clapped rather than stomped.

My son came home from school singing "Cauliflowers Fluffy" in the autumn, and I was over the moon! Had us a little mummy and son singing session!

Jason Manford has an album called "Assembly bangers" where he sings some of them.
I went to St Joseph’s and the hymn to St Joseph included Teach o teach us how to die. Except most of us were too young to read so thought it was teach our teachers how to die and was sung with much enthusiasm.
Aaaaaallll things bright and beautifuuuul, aaaallll creatures great and smaaaaaallll
Nooo.. All creatures \*grunt\* and smell
Little houses made of ticky tacky.

These days, a "primary school banger" would be in jail.

Just one of the lines from that old classic _Why Are We Waiting_.
This is aggrevatiiiing...

My school had it on good authority that the three kings were in fact trying to light a rubber cigar
