Does Batman Smell?

Some things are universal, like bastardizing Christmas songs. American children sing (and have always sung, and will always sing) to the tune of Jingle Bells:

Jingle bells, Batman smells,
Robin laid an egg.

I don't know the rest of the real words of the fake version because G has bastardized the bastardized version so that it continues:

So who cares, about those two?
They are very stupid.

This, of course, is deliciously fun to sing because it includes the taboo "S" word.

Well, in France, the real words to this song are:

Vive le vent, vive le vent,
Vive le vent d'hiver...

(Long live the wind, long live the wind,
Long live the winter wind...)

But the children sing, as you can see in this posting by G (and I can confirm by what I've heard from the Parisian children, in endless loops, for weeks now):

Vive le vent, vive le vent

Vive le vendredi

Car demain c'est samedi et on fui camp d'ici, hey!

Vive le vent, vive le vent

Vive le vendredi

Car demain c'est samedi et on fui camp d'ici.

On met l'école en feu
Tous les profs aux milieu

Aussi la directrice et on fou camp d'ici, hey!

(Long live Fri, long live Fri

Long live Friday

Because tomorrow is Saturday, and we'll flee from here, hey!

Long live Fri, long live Fri

Long live Friday

Because tomorrow is Saturday, and we'll flee from here, hey.

We'll set the school on fire,

All the teachers in the middle

And also the director, and we'll flee from here, hey!)

I'm so happy we've given our children this opportunity to immerse themselves so they can become fluent with the language and comfortable with the culture, and so that I can hear their sweet, angelic voices singing out this holiday classic. Repeatedly.
