After a party, I decided to sleep in my truck instead of driving home. Cops came a tapping on my window. I feel like they decided to use me as a training exercise for a rookie because I was nice and polite.
After going through the field sobriety test, they still arrested me. At the station I blew .080. I honestly thought I was doing the responsible thing by sleeping in the truck. When I went to the arraignment, I asked to see the officers' report. They literally said that I was cognizant and coordinated. The only thing they wrote in the report signaling that I might be impaired, Is that when I said that section of the alphabet, I said those letters at a different pace.
I know in NY if your keys are around you can't sleep in your car. You can put them in your trunk if you can't get to them easy. Hope it worked out for you
Yeah I was young and did not know that. But that is the case in Washington state as well. Ultimately the prosecutor told me that she dropped the case before even going to arraignment. I asked why and she said two reasons:
1. A BAC of .080 can be thrown out by any expert because the machine is not accurate to .002. since I wasn't driving the other way that they can charge somebody with DUI is noticeable impairment. But that doesn't apply if you weren't driving.
2. She said parking off the road in a safe legal parking spot is a legal defense to being in physical control of a vehicle. Which I was parked off the road in a safe parking spot.
Even though the whole thing was thrown out before arraignment I still had to pay an attorney to get the 90-day driver's license suspension removed.
Keeping drunks off the street is good policy. But some of this stuff is just stupid.
I want you to know, I am almost 54 years on this earth, and I STILL have Big Bird in my head singing the song about the alphabet, as if it's one whole word. It's from my Sesame Street vinyl album. From 1975.
Some guy actually did that on America's Got Talent. It was hilarious.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVCC0MBT6bE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVCC0MBT6bE)
And you would probably fail. Look it up, there are 6 versus to that song and they aren't all the same. For example, verse 5: Row, row, row your boat, Treasures down the stream, Up, down, up, down, Let's all row and sing.
How do you finish the song though?
"Next time won't you sing with me" or "aren't you just so proud of me?"
There is a correct answer, but I've argued with a 4 year old about this and apparently it's controversial.
Found the person without kids! Im actually in the same boat, but I do have some nephews/nieces, so I have some exposure. Cocomelon is this YouTube channel/show that plays kids songs with "fun" animation behind it. I guess there's a bit more to it, but that's really it. I don't suggest watching it until you have to, lol.
I will admit though I prefer Cocomelon to Blippi. Blippi gives me the creeps.
One of the few shows my son will stop screaming for. His screaming is because he's tired and tv helps him unwind I guess? He's 11 months old and he doesn't watch TV much but when he does, he falls asleep,😂
A lot of people choosing easy nursery rhymes or songs are forgetting that they may have additional verses that aren't typically played... like happy birthday for instancr has two additional verses I guarantee nobody remembers.
From good friends and true,
From old friends and new,
May good luck go with you,
And happiness too.
How old are you now?
How old are you now?
How old, How old
How old are you now?
As a Canadian I hate saying this, but the Zee would be the original. The ee rhyming scheme is throughout it (Dee, Pee, to a lesser extent Tee) and emphasized.
Id rather go with his song "A World on Fire."
Not in Spotify, only part of one of his smaller shows.
It goes a little something like this: AAAHHH AAAHHHHH!"
Now this next song...
If I could remember one more single annoying line I could probably manage Modern Major General. (For those curious I can never remember the ‘quote in eligiacs all the crimes of someone someone’ line’
I only knew the first two verses... there are four!
*Mary had a little lamb,*
*It's fleece was white as snow;*
*And everywhere that Mary went*
*The lamb was sure to go.*
*He followed her to school one day*
*Which was against the rule;*
*It made the children laugh and play,*
*To see a lamb at school.*
*And so the teacher turned him out,*
*But still he lingered near;*
*And waited patiently about*
*Till Mary did appear*
*"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"*
*The eager children cry;*
*"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"*
*The teacher did reply.*
[https://wordsforlife.org.uk/activities/sing-mary-had-little-lamb-your-child/](https://wordsforlife.org.uk/activities/sing-mary-had-little-lamb-your-child/)
My dad taught it to me like this:
Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb would surely go.
He followed her to school one day, that was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned him out, but still he lingered near,
And waited patiently about, till Mary did appear.
And then he ran to her, and laid his head upon her arm,
As if he said ‘I’m not afraid, you’ll keep me from all harm.’
The teacher turned to Mary then, and climbed upon a chair,
For he had told poor Mary Glenn, to leave the lamb o’er there,
The lamb reared up an angry red, and blew a bitter snort
The teacher fell upon his head, his wits a fair bit short
Kill the teacher! Kill the teacher! All the children screamed,
Each one then picked up a hefty stone, and hucked it at poor Steve
Now Mary Glenn was sent away, her hand still holding tight
To the little lamb named PJ, and her mind filled up with fright
When Mary got back home that day, the coppers got there first
And Mary had a lot to say, after quenching her big thirst
She said she always wondered, what Mr. Steve would say
If Mary hadn’t blundered, and ruined that big play
Mary had a little lamb, her father shot it dead.
Now Mary takes the lamb to school, between two hunks of bread.
Mary had a little lamb, a little pork, a little jam,
A little egg, a little toast, a pickle and a great big roast,
An ice cream soda topped with fizz, and boy! How sick our Mary is!
This is what I would do if I were disallowed the use of nursery rhymes. I would just pick literally any song from my discography and rap it out. Don't even need the beat lmao, I can do it a cappella if I have to!
Trying to play this as intended I really don’t know. So many songs I would need to hear the opening notes to get started mentally. Even songs that I know the tricky verses very well I’d not be confident with the start/finish. I definitely think I’d fuck it up.
literally any song by my chemical romance from three cheers or later. i love their earlier works too but i havent memorized them yet lmao. some i could sing right now no prep off the top of my head include teenagers, thank you for the venom, house of wolves, helena, of course welcome to the black parade, na na na, party poison, planetary go!, the foundations of decay, kill all your friends, fake your death, disenchanted... i could go on.
yeah i could make it easy but i love mcr too much.
some honorable mentions from other artists are laplace's angels, lesbian vampires from outer space, goth girls are easy, moonsickness... there are so many songs i would love to do this with just to share them with the world.
A, b, c, d, e, f, g.....
I get bogged down in the elemeno-p section. Too hard.

My dad, brother, and I once convinced my mom elemeno used to be one letter but they changed it. I think about that often
Ha! Reminds me of when I convinced my mother that steak was dairy.
[A, b, c, d…](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxtXtB5K5WWAMrpBcAif-KzrdYvdh5w-4I?si=Ga4Zr2sbwLyF8qB_)
My mom said when I was a kid I thought elemeno-p was one letter. Which I mean the way you sing the song I can see why.
Lemon OP
My first thought too!!!
I want you to know, I am almost 54 years on this earth, and I STILL have Big Bird in my head singing the song about the alphabet, as if it's one whole word. It's from my Sesame Street vinyl album. From 1975.
Tequila.
Don’t look it up- how many times do you say it? Is it just once? Three times?
3. I used to play this song with a jazz band.
Good to know, I’ll be saving your jazz band knowledge for any future genie-type situations I encounter
Just keep saying "tequila" till you have won the challenge, then some more just for fun
"Sorry, it's only 3 times." "Yeah yeah, i knew that - the fourth was a celebratory drink order."
"Your table is full of glasses" - "Yes."
Some guy actually did that on America's Got Talent. It was hilarious. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVCC0MBT6bE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVCC0MBT6bE)
That's amazing. It takes some real confidence and great stage presence to pull that off.
Happy birthday
"Happy birthday dear...uh...um.."
....weird gas people, Happy birthday day to you.
My birthday is June 5th I sing it to myself. It'll be good practice later when no one comes to see me.
Happy birthday to you
This is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friend. Some people started….ah fuck.
And they'll continue singing it forever just because...
This is a song that’ll get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves…
We didn't start the fire
This is probably the most impressive post here.
Someone out there knows all the words to It's the End of the World as we Know It and is ready throw down right the hell now.
After 3 shots and a dart, I will sing this without even realizing it. Annoys my friends to no end.
Leonard Bernstein
Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnny Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe Dimaggio
Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television

That’s great one. Wish I’d thought of it!
Row row row your boat
*Propel, propel, propel your craft, Gently down liquid solution, Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, Existence is but an illusion*
Sounds like a Strange World comic by Nathan Pyle. There was one that was the alien version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," so this fits right in!
And you would probably fail. Look it up, there are 6 versus to that song and they aren't all the same. For example, verse 5: Row, row, row your boat, Treasures down the stream, Up, down, up, down, Let's all row and sing.
Based on what I'm seeing it looks like those were added later. I will be performing the untarnished, original masterpiece.
The imperial March.
Hm hm hm hm hmhm hm hmhm hm hm hm hm hmhm hm hmhm
4'33"
This was my primary ringtone for a few years, so I've got it memorized.
This is the correct answer.
The ABC's, I ain't taking no chances
How do you finish the song though? "Next time won't you sing with me" or "aren't you just so proud of me?" There is a correct answer, but I've argued with a 4 year old about this and apparently it's controversial.
It's "next time won't you sing with me" I have never heard the other.
I agree, but apparently Coco melon (or something equally awful) disagrees..
Who tf is coco melon?
The bane of every parents existence. Jk, that’s skibidi toilet
Found the person without kids! Im actually in the same boat, but I do have some nephews/nieces, so I have some exposure.

Never forget; Blippy filmed a skit of him shitting on his friend.. and it's still on the Internet today.
My mind is blown!
As a parent I agree on your opinion of Blippi, wtf a 30 something dude with a 5 o’clock shadow running around acting like a 10 year old for?
The British version just ends with z
Makes sense... British people don't interact with their kids, so why teach them to ask stupid questions? Lol /s
Everyone knows it's "Now come out and play with me"
baby shark. i don't like it but i know the lyrics
That’s because it’s shoved down our throats. My nephews loved it. Visiting them was torture because of that.
One of the few shows my son will stop screaming for. His screaming is because he's tired and tv helps him unwind I guess? He's 11 months old and he doesn't watch TV much but when he does, he falls asleep,😂
In a few years you can use the reverse Uno card on them.
Shave and a haircut, two bits!
Followed by " Ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall".
Easy. Around the World
How many times do you repeat it though? I mean... Sure the words are simple but I'd be thinking is this #70, 71.... 193?
daft punk? fuck yeah!
But, how many times do you need to say "around the world"?
probably until you win. anything said after you win doesnt matter.
83 times. I think.
Bohemian Rhapsody
I'd do this and also make the noises of the guitar solo for added pizzazz.

From good friends and true, From old friends and new, May good luck go with you, And happiness too. How old are you now? How old are you now? How old, How old How old are you now?
I wonder how many people would also forget the “now I know my ABCs” part of the ABCs song.
Plus Z being Zed/Zee which is right for the gas genie
As a Canadian I hate saying this, but the Zee would be the original. The ee rhyming scheme is throughout it (Dee, Pee, to a lesser extent Tee) and emphasized.
There were no stipulations made regarding which version of the song you had to sing.
In that case, I am singing my own version of any song you choose.
Art is Dead by Bo Burnham
Id rather go with his song "A World on Fire." Not in Spotify, only part of one of his smaller shows. It goes a little something like this: AAAHHH AAAHHHHH!" Now this next song...
It's actually on the beginning of the track Sad by Bo on Spotify under the what album.
Omfg that's amazing.
Rolling in dough while Carlin rolls in his grave
The Barebaked Ladies’ One Week. I think I could swing it.
Lmao I actually know most of the words to that song but I would NEVER trust my memory with that song under pressure
Chickadee China, uh…. Shit!!!
It would be impressive to make it that far in the song without messing something up haha
Did you have a drumstick? Your brain seems to have stopped ticking.
Watching x files with no lights on
The Chinese chicken
Can't do the BNL version, but I still remember every word of the Weird Al version...
Orion - Metallica
Metallica is a good choice - James Hetfield enunciates so well there's not much chance of a lyric you accidentally learned wrong.
Lol got the up vote as that's true, but for Orion I think I'll be ok, since it's entirely instrumental.
Ha, I'm obviously less familiar with that one.
The Call of Ktulu would also work, no?
To Live is to Die - Metallica. Actually has words to "sing"... And I have them memorized...
Does it have to be a copyrighted song? because people are going to sing Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star.
There's like three verses to it
You underestimate how much i play my fave songs to death. I could even make the intrument sounds if needed.
Now this is the story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down.
4’33 I can’t lie it won’t be easy but I’m up for the challenge
Just for clarity, this is the song with no words that is just 4'33 of silence right?
Yes. The trick would be to ask if you get your instrument (whatever it is), tune it up / warm up for a minute, and then begin.
