wahmsahmthankyoumaam

My kids have been singing this for MONTHS. At first we had no idea.

We kept asking where they heard it and they kept telling us "the ‘Cars’ movie", still we had no idea.  Having absorbed the ambience of it at least once a fortnight since June we consider ourselves quite familiar with it! (Of course, no where in the league of ‘Wiggledance" which both of us can repeat word for word in it’s entireity ie: songs and playful banter, with correct pauses and emphasis on each syllable even )

Monday night they were singing it in the tub and we asked "where in the Cars movie do they say it?" Before the race! OK now we’re getting somewhere we thought, while the kids just looked at us like we were plain silly for not having heard it before.

Finally my husband couldn’t take it any longer (afterall, it’s been bopping around in our heads for ages now too!), this morning during my weekly lie in (that was until 9:00am!) I heard him ask if they’d like to show him where they say ‘Sa Boom Me on the Bottom Like Luigi’ in the movie. Naturally they jumped at the chance to watch it.

My son paused the DVD for him and called him over to watch and listen:

(Lifecouldbeadream) shaboom me oh la bop bop( Lifecouldbeadream)  shaboom me oh la bop bop

Yes, not only was it there in the soundtrack (in a fashion) but  about 40 times over !

So now we all understand their little song’s origin (and quiziccal looks we’ve been getting)!
