The Weenie Man Song

I know a weenie man.
He owns a weenie stand.
He sells most anything from hot dogs on down.
Someday I’ll change his life.
I’ll be his weenie wife.
Hot dog, I love that weenie man.

This is Lennie’s favorite song. I’d never heard it before I bought a collection of children’s songs, but now we sing it all the time. She definitely responds to it by smiling and generally lighting up around the third line.

I like to make up alternate versions such as:

I know a daddy man.
He owns a piece of land.
He makes most anything from websites on down.
One day I changed his life.
I became that daddy’s wife.
Hot dog, I love that daddy man.

I find that just starting the song by knowing a daddy man and letting the rest just come to me results in the most fun, though.

Other favorites are “Apples and Bananas” and the original creation “Who’s the Pretty Baby?” (Lennie Lou, that’s who!)

Within 100 hours of the launch of the Spread Firefox site, Mozilla logged over 1,000,000 initiated downloads of Firefox. The site, which uses the same software that made the Dean for America online campaign such a success, had some initial server glitches, but it’s churning along now, thanks to a great effort on the part of the Mozilla system administrators. This site has the potential to be a great grassroots initiative, and it’s exciting (and very taxing!) to be a part of it. If you haven’t checked in yet (especially if it was because the site was unresponsive), go ahead and give it a shot. Go ahead. All the kids are doing it.
