Barney for Baptists

I grew up in a crazy strict household. My parents considered themselves to be "fundamental, Bible-believing, independent Baptist." Now, don't confuse this type of Baptist with the heathen southern Baptists. They belong to a convention...that = bad! I was fed that most of my life. I was not allowed to wear pants (culottes for me please!). Let me tell you, this does not make you the cool kid in school. We had to mute the TV. at commercials because we may hear "questionable music." Basically, we led about the most sheltered life possible. You know you are sheltered when the coolest thing to you is Patch the Pirate. Most of you do not know who Patch is, but we had ALL of his tapes! I was even a sailor in the Patch the Pirate Club. How cool is that?? Brian T. calls it "Barney for Baptists." The music and the stories are so ridiculously cheesy. As you gathered, it is about a pirate who commands a ship called the Jolly Roger. His original crew consisted of peewee, pixie, peanut, and sissy. It grew as time went by to give us such characters as Wally the Whale and so on. I can tell by the look on your face while you read this that you care so much. All I really want to do is to leave you with some bits and pieces of songs.

We will start off with the wiggle worm...

Have you seen a wiggle worm?
Smaller than a tiny germ
He has got a great big appetite
Though he isn’t very big
He eats more than any pig
Always looking for someone to bite!

Now on to I love broccoli...

I love broccoli
It’s such a tasty sight
And liver makes me quiver
With sheer delight
I always clean my plate
Morning noon and night
I’m thankful for each bite

Now a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...

Give me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...mmm
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich...ahhhh
It tastes so fine just anytime
in a plane..in a car..With a bowl of caviar!

Remember your manners...

Remember your manners because it is right
Remember your manners it's a Christian delight

Little by little...

Little by little, inch by inch
By the yard it's hard
By the inch it's a cinch...

ok..One more...
The poochie lip disease...

The poochie lip will get you if you don't watch out
The poochie lip will get you if you start to pout
So take this little tip, please control that lower lip
And stop the poochie lip disease...

I could go on and on...but I am sure you are shaking your head going please stop! Please stop!
Especially if your name is Brian T. He hates it most of all!

Patch the Pirate, I haven't heard of him, but I have heard of Lyle the Friendly Viking (veggie tale)

Oh yeah, and nobody on earth knows the depths of hatred more intimately than the domestic housecat: www.mycathatesyou.com

JB: Is that the Thom I know? He is a great guy, if it is. Rangers lead the way! Huah!

Anyway, Rose. I have never heard of Patch the Pirate, but his music sounds really close to the evil Christian Contemporary style!! lol. (inside joke)

The biggest thing I take from this blog is what in the heck is a culottes? You should make that the word of the day. I won't look it up util you do.

On the how to blog post,

I WANT people I know to know about this blog because I like comments. It would get depressing if everytime I looked at my blog it said 0 comments by each post. Then I would be a sad sad girl. If I did talk about work I would just talk about the incredible awesomeness of it..she's going to straddle ME!

rose said...

Thom..
thanks for the website. I have a link for it now under "cool sites." I wonder how Andy from Berbee will like..he is a big animal guy. Me...I don't care if the cats hate me! I hate them too!

Speaking of "Oh, she's going to straddle me." I woke up at three in the morning today, and just started laughing my head off about it. My wife probably didn't appreciate it too much, but I thought about it and just could not get rid of the giggles. It was very accomodating of you, Rose, to demonstrate how the sled team straddled each with poor, defenseless and unsuspecting Angela, rather than just verbally answer my question.

By the way, it takes a very confident man to admit he got an attack of the giggles.

I understand what culottes are. I had always called them skorts. Or are skorts something else entirely?

I too grew up in a FB home complete with Patch the Pirate. I'm 23 and still like the songs. I'm also thankful that my folks cared enough to shelter me, although I didn't think that between 15 - 20.

God renewed my mind and heart after I repented and surrendered my will to Him. His word is cleansing.

I also grew up in a Christian home. I didn't have all the Patch the Pirate tapes, but we did have the "Kidnapped on I-land" one. I remember the "rember your manners song".

I am glad that my parents provided me a nurturing environment with songs that reinforced biblical principles and correctly directed my growth with God. Now I can pass my rich Christian heritage to my children.

Do you still have all your path the pirate tapes?

Katie Barker said...

Wow,
quite a post here. To whomever... yes there is a difference between skorts and coulotts. Original coulotts were much worse than the trendy skorts of today.
Rose, I too, know Patch. It wasn't until I went to college that I realized all the world didn't know who this great hero of mine was.... unbelievable! I think I've some how still turned out okay though.

Hey, I grew up kind of like that with a full set of Patch tapes. The whole family loved them. And, by the way, I still wear culotts-- they are useful for working with kids- I'm a teacher.
I found the world wanted me to think like it and spurn the Bible and following Christ. The 'friends' I know who did so are bitter folks, as they reject God's truth. Sad. So, enjoy those patch the pirate tapes you can still get from Majesty Music. They are great for kids of all ages. - Marti

I grew up listening to Family radio... and I loved it! I actually loved the "cheesy" songs and stories... anyway, I briefly mention the song "remeber you manners because it is right, remember your manners it's a christians delight... i clean my plate, i clean my plate, I thank my mother for the food i ate... would you happen to remember the rest of that song? I would like to teach it to my five yr. old daughter. I have googled and searched High and low.... can you help me?

Im wondering about this music as well and typed in the words 'i clean my plate, i clean my plate'. other songs i recall include one about skin; im so glad that ive got skin, it keeps me safe from weather and it keeps me altogether. If anyone knows who this is or where possibly to get a tape that would be great!
