Kid's camp songs and cans

You know what's really, really annoying but loved at the same time? Kid's camp songs.

Now, I'm still a kid. But I'm talking six-year-olds-screaming-at-the-top-of-their-lungs camp songs. I hate them. Want to know why? YES. The answer is yes, you do.

1. They make no sense.

Allow me to give you an example:

Counselor: TAAAARZAN!
Kids: TAAARZAN!
Counselor: SWINGING FROM A RUBBER BAND!
Kids: SWINGING FROM A RUBBER BAND!
Counselor: FELL INTO A FRYING PAN!
Kids: FELL INTO A FRYING PAN!
Counselor: NOW HE HAS A TAN!
Kids: NOW HE HAS A TAN!

(this is an actual song)

I get that they're supposed to be silly, but C'MON. It's downright annoying.

2. They usually have really annoying dances that go along with them

Okay, I understand if you want us to clap our hands. Snap our fingers, stomp our feet, whatever. It's cute. It's a different story when you're swinging your hips, flicking your tongue, hopping on one foot while swiveling the other, patting your head, rolling your eyes backwards on every third beat, doing the declaration of independence in sign language with one hand, and knitting with your butt cheeks.

3. They're usually obnoxiously loud

LET'S MAKE OURSELVES HEARD IN THE CAMP SIXTEEN MILES AWAY! C'MON KIDS, LET'S MAKE SURE ANY HOPES OF BEING ABLE TO HEAR ANYTHING LOUDER THAN A SHOUT WHEN WE'RE OLDER ARE DECIMATED!

AAAAH!

On the topic of camps, my dad told me the PUNNIEST campfire skit that I felt I must share.

There are two doctors, two nurses nurse, and a patient. The patient is laying down with a blanket over him.

Doc 1: -looks under blanket- Cancer, I'm sure of it.
Doc 2: -looks under blanket- No, it's a tumor.
Doc 1: -looks again- Cancer.
Doc 2: -looks again- Tumor.
Doc 1: Cancer!
Doc 2: Tumor!
Nurse 1: -reaches under blankets and pulls out a can- It's a can, sir.
Nurse 2: -reaches under blankets and pulls out 2 cans- Look, two more!

Get it? Can, sir= cancer. Two more= tumor.
Hehehe... he... heh.

BU DUM CSHH!
