Who else had Everybody’s Building too? Loved Everybody’s Building

Oh crap I just found a YouTube video of this and might have just nostalgia bombed myself to death

I’ve made a huge mistake

I only know of this because someone on a podcast or on a show recently said how their kid learned it in school and it was really cute.

Don’t remember who or where.

You can tell we’re getting old because even remembering the veg song made me grin so hard it hurt

The veg song made me happy, but the building one kicked me so hard in the feels

I don’t remember that thread, but probably the proudest moment of my life so far is aged 8 throwing up on on about 12 other kids in church during that song and causing total pandemonium. At least one Holy Bible in the splash zone was declared a total write off.

Gooseberries hairy was the best line cause you got to sing gooseberries which doesn’t happen enough IMO.
Used to belt this out, what an absolute top tier song.
Thank you for reminding me of this, gonna pop it on now.

Let’s all go pick a pumpkin, pumpkin
Buy it from a country bumpkin
Ask his name
It’s Danny Lumpkin
Lumpkin Lumpkin Lumpkin Lumpkin
Tra-la-la La-la, tra-la-la La-laaa

Anyone else? :musical_note:

there was a thread i did a while ago in which it transpired that only about a third of disers had ever seen or been to a christingle. mindblowing to me.

surely you didn’t sing that song quiet either though? :smiley:

still not a thing

I’m still furious from finding out over the last few years or so that most people seemed to have dolly mixture in their christingle, whilst we had raisins!!! FFS!!!
