In the last issue, We asked for your favorite songs as reworked by your family. Everyone, it seems, has a song about poop. We should have expected that.

Here is a selection of answers submitted by our readers.

To the tune of “Making Whoopie”:

Another wipie,
Another Kushie™
Another diaper,
For Hannah’s tushie.
She is a baby,
And I think maybe,
She’s making poopie.

—Paul and Elizabeth Kosmas, Lexington, VA

To the tune of “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do”:

My son stayed up ‘til half past ten.
The baby cried out at one and then,
My three-year-old threw-up at two.
Oh, waking up is hard to do.

I beg of you, please let me be.
Unless you’re bringing me some strong coffee.
Those days of morning “fun” are through,
‘Cause waking up is hard to do.

—Jenny Leeds, Austin, TX

Sung to the tune of “Gin and Juice” by Snoop Dogg:

Rollin’ down the street,
Eatin’ cheerios and sippin’ on apple juice,
Laid back, wit my mind on my boobie and my boobie on my mind.

—Sabrina Swafford, Gallatin, TN

In 2001, when our daughter was born, there was a popular rap song that my husband then made useful in our household called “Big Pimpin’.”

Marley’s Biiiiiig Poopin’ in Ellensburg,
Marley’s Biiiiiiig Poopin’ in her diaaaaper,
Marley’s Biiiiiig Poopin’ ‘cause she’s got a big turd!

When our son Gabe was born, the song resurfaced, of course with his name and the town we now live in. It was quite awhile before I actually heard the true song. Good thing we haven’t had to explain the origins of the song, or at least the original title.

To the tune of “Play That Funky Music”: 

Blow that funky nazoole right boy
Blow that funky nazoole riiiiiiiight!
Blow that funky nazoole right boy
Get out the boogies
And blow that funky nazoole til it’s dry
Til it’s dry
Til it’s dry!

—Patrice Hegel, Howell, NJ

Do your boobs hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o’er your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier?
Do your boobs hang low?

While I can’t take credit for originally switching the “ear” for the “boob,” after three pregnancies and extended nursing I do sing that song in the shower occasionally.
