The Peanut Song Gets Retired

Posted on: 01/10/05, 13:23:46
Although I usually make kissy noises with Peanut, I go through phases when I sing to him. Many years ago, I wrote "The Peanut Song." The lyrics are:

Peanut Peanut,
Peanut Peanut,
Peanut Peanut,
Peanut Peanut,
Peanut Peanut,
Peanut Peanut,
Peanut Peanut,
Peanut Peanut!


Scintillating!

The melody, I was warned by one of the few people ever allowed to hear it, was very similar to the Oklahoma University football team's fight song. Alas, I just discovered that this is true. Believe me, I never meant to plagiarize, and since I'm not a football fan I'm not sure how I even heard it. But The Peanut Song is so similar to Boomer Sooner that I will never sing it again. (That link will play the MP3 for you. This link goes to a collection of football fight songs.)

Don't worry, there's always The Tasty Seed Song!
