And All The Boys Around My block Go Crazy Over Me.

By Amy @amypop · On July 10, 2011

My cousin just posted the words to “My Little Playmate” which reminded me that I recently asked my favorite 7 year old if kids still do those hand-clapping songs. She didn’t really know what i was talking about which made me sad. I loved — LOVED — that stuff.

Anyway, I’m now searching through YouTube for the perfect rendition of “I am a Pretty Little Dutch Girl” and getting irrationally annoyed at children who can’t sing it correctly. It’s like my own personal American Idol/Gong Show. I’ve been angrily grunting and there’s been more than a few “OH COME ON!” I had high hopes for this cute one even though she sings “pretty as i can be” instead of “pretty as pretty can be” — but she’s too frenetic and, yeah. Booted off.

Seriously, people. Get your shit together and put up some quality “Pretty Little Dutch Girl” tracks or I’m leaving you behind for some “We’re Going to Kentucky.” Especially for the adorableness of this little one.

However, Katie Herzig’s rendition of “playmate” — “Forevermore” — is an utter delight. The first time I heard it, it was immediately added to my end of the year mix.

Johnny Depp is the gayest pirate ever to hit the mainstream. There is, perhaps, gay porn where the actors pretend to be pirates, and that possibly might be more gay. - Amanda, "Ahoy Ye Teenies"
