This week one of the words prompts concerned the Lake Superior State University 2025 Banished Words list. One of the words was skibidi. I have no idea what the word means, but somehow it made me think of skidamarink, which made me think of the song that I sing to the grandchildren. (My mind works in strange ways.)
Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo.
I love you!
Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo.
I love you!
I love you in the morning,
And in the afternoon.
I love you in the evening,
And underneath the moon.
Oh, skidamarink a dink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo.
I love you!
Not strange at all - in fact it’s quite brilliant that you thought of it from that word. I used to sing that song with my daycare and nanny kids. Brings back happy memories.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely a happy song.
DeleteGreat song! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteGreat song! And don't forget Little Bunny Foo Foo, and Sarasponda. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI read your comment earlier, and now I have Sarasponda stuck in my head!
DeleteI've never heard that song before - it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI learned it at camp as a child.
DeleteI used to use that song, play it, sign it with my kids and students!
ReplyDeleteMemories!
DeleteHaving two teenagers in the house, I am well aware of skibidi.
ReplyDeleteI guess I need to hang out with younger people to be in touch with modern slang.
Delete"Skinnamarink" was originally written and performed by the Canadian kids' entertainment trio Sharon, Lois & Bram and was a huge hit for them about 40 years ago! Here's a link to them performing it --

The trio's name is familiar. I wonder if they had a presence on PBS in the late 80s, when my boys would have been watching.
