mr. sandman
man me a sand
make him the cutest man car door hook hand
give him the sand that i'm not a hander
then tell him that his sands and mans are handses
A full and quite lovely vocal rendition of an old Tumblr shitpost.

I hope I never get to a point where “harmless but totally committed”, as a genre, stops making me smile.

It's like Jingle Rock Bell but less ... malevolent.

"Mr. Sandman, bring me some sand..." Is as far as I've gotten on this song so far. Good ideas in this thread.

Slightly related comic, also from tumblr. (Link to my own reblog, because the sources have...some real eyesearing tumblr themes.)

Yeah, I was thinking that line was a reference to the urban legend, but the rest of the lyrics didn't run with it.

It undoubtedly is, though. The tumblr post draws from an infamous mangling of the story on 4chan in 2012, with the last line undergoing a lot of memetic mutation.

No point, just a mondegreen: I've always heard the chorus of The Cars' "Bye Bye Love" as "By, by the hook". Mind? Ba-lown.

I have been referring to the urban legend in question as "Man Door Hand Hook Car Door" for years now.

How can the same species that brings us wonders like this turn around and make pooping-toddler games that bring the wrath of the gods down upon us? What blind gibbering idiot god dancing around the center of the multiverse made us?

I've been wandering around the apartment this morning singing this to my cats, substituting "cat" for every occurrence of "man." (They are unimpressed.)

try substituting "cat" for "sand", maybe that will work.

However, do not under any circumstances substitute "catbox" for "sandbox"!

It wasn't until a reflective moment as an adult when I realized what those fragrant sandy nuggets in my childhood sandbox were. The cats have always been substituting.
