once upon a time in middle school, we had just finished taking some standardized test. I had finished and we weren't allowed to do anything, so i recall making up a song about the ingredients in the Goldfish crackers they supplied us with.
it's to the tune of that "one little two little three little indians" song, and goes something like this:
made of enriched unbleached wheat flour,
cheddar cheese, vegetable oil (canola and sunflower),
salt, sugar, spices, [something i can't remember] and onion powder,
that's what's in gold fish!
i was thinking about that song today for some reason. and then i was thinking.. the original song is kind of a derogatory song to be singing in a public elementary school. i mean i love it and think it's super cute, grade school is where i learned the indian song. but if you replace the "indian" part with any other race of people it just sounds terrible.
one little two little three little black people/ white people/ chinese people
even if you substitute it with like african americans or caucasions...
i don't know man.
