Middling Win only: There’s no ‘Give it back to Lolrus’.
Oh totally. You pegged that one Mr. Birks. By the way, I am gonna need you to come in on Sunday.
No. Caturday.
haha I think this one is awesome. Except…now I’m going to have that bloody song stuck in my head all day!
I’m a total pop-culture moron. What song?
“There’s a hole in the bucket dear Liza dear Liza….”
Weeee! WIN!
James – check it out on youtube… I remember Sesame Street doing it.
Yeah… I can has posted Cheat Sheet?
Fun chart.
This is actually “una cansone internazionale” … used to sing a version in italian when doing a bucket brigade at an archeology dig …
“C’e’ un buco nel secchio, nel secchio, nel secchio …”
Is there a really mad lolrus?
Give it to him and RUN.
Chart full of win! I just sang this song to my husband (who didn’t know it either) last week! Get outta my head!
I’m sorry, am I the only one who thinks this graph sucks the humor out of the song? The whole (no pun intended) fun of the song is the personality of the characters — the apparent increasing dippiness of Henry and the corresponding exasperation of Liza, concluding by showing that he was just baiting her all along — and the incredibly long process of getting to the loop. Like this… it’s just explaining the joke rather than telling the joke. Poor james (and anyone else who has never heard this sung and now goes to look it up) doesn’t get to enjoy the joke now.
I think it’s possible that you read WAY to much into songs that second graders sing about holes in buckets. The graph is funny.
While the humor may be dry, for those of us who like our humor in such a fashion, it is highly appropriate. For those who do now it, I hope it inspires them to find out more about it; Perhaps to find the Sesame Street would be appropriate inspiration.
Ugh, that song. But if I didn’t have second graders singing to me 8 days a week, I wouldn’t get this either.
gagh.

gosh… 2nd grade. What a magical year
I agree that there needs to be a lolrus in there somewhere.
The lolrus would have to be in the middle of the graph, watching the bukkit circle him, just out of reach…forever…
Glad to know I’m not the only one who learned that song in elementary school!
I did too! Rawk!
Wow, that’s different from the version I learned, and removes the pun that was in the version I know. The one I know goes,
The axe/knife is too dull.
Then whet it!
With what shall I whet it?
A stone.
The stone is too dry.
Then wet it!
The use of “sharpening” in the graph, omitting the whet/wet joke, makes me sad.
It would seem that people as a whole wouldn’t understand what whetting a blade means anymore, hence the “sharpening” instead of “whetting.” The Sesame Street version even used “sharpen” back in the…what was it, the ’80s?
agreed, although i find the word “whet” much better & entertaining.
OH GOD IT NEVER ENDS
All my life is a circle. Harry Chapin said it in song!
Would this not be more lolicious with buket instead of bucket?
in the song its knife not axe
Eliza and Willy were some dumb motherf*ckers. Couldn’t they have used something other than straw to mend the bucket? Or couldn’t they have broken it with something other than an axe/knife? And if one stone’s too dry to sharpen the blade, what about another? Or couldn’t you at least get some water on the stone without the motherf*cking bucket? Lol!
lol vicious circle
