Mr. Frog jumped out of the pond one day,
and found himself in the rain.
Said he "I'll get wet and I might catch a cold!"
A-AA-AAAACHOOOOO!!
So he jumped in the pond again.
What. The. Hell.
If you don't know the tune, it makes even less sense. I re-enacted it in biology today. I hid behing a bench, walked out and said "Oh, it's raining. I might get a cold. Achoo." and went back behind the bench. If you can think up a song with a worse storyline, please email me and I'll send you some money.
Where do you think these songs come from? Do you reckon there's some seedy old man sitting alone in a room somewhere pencilling them out on yellowing paper? Are they the ravings of a rabid youth in Arkansas? Or perhaps the works of monkeys with typewriters? True, Mr. Frog does have a valuable message to children: 'If you play in the rain, GET THE FUCK OUT BEFORE YOU GET A COLD!!'. But could they have chosen a more inappropriate animal? I think not, unless it was a fish. I mean, can you imagine a fish urinating in its pants because it's getting wet? If not, you have a crap imagination so I'll do it for you:
Now, if anyone can't see the stupidity in that, go make friends with Keshia. Birds of a feather flock together, you know what I'm saying?
Going back to my point, the frog says that he needs to get out of the rain because he'll get wet and he "might catch a cold". So he jumps in a pond. OOooOOO, top marks there, froggy. What a logical solution! Why don't we go from somewhere only remotely wet to somewhere consisting largely of water and pondscum, which is also wet? And if you've ever seen a pond which is home to lots of frogs while it's raining, you'll notice that they all go out of their ways to actually be in the rain. REBELLION? Or just logic?
I think that this poem/song/random piece of crap would have been better featuring a bear and a cave. Of course, when I tried to put this into a picture, it still made about as much sense as the original:
Most large animals can't stop a bear when it wants to go hunting. I don't see why rain would.
In conclusion, I'd like to say that I have lost faith in Playschool. It use to be an educational source of entertainment. They showed you how to make toy dinosaurs out of paper bags and pegs! I learned the days of the week off by heart! I discovered that if you liked the arch window best, they'd always choose the round! But now, as a mature adult, I look at this and (pauses to air guitar to Tubular Bells III) sigh. Because I know that somewhere out there children will be deprived of playing naked in the rain....or was that just me?
