Completely OT, but I'm going insane...
....and I'm hoping someone here can help.
As you may know, I'm a School Bus Driver, transporting Special Need Children for the local school boards. One of the kids on my bus this year is Autistic, with repetitive vocalizations: in other words, he talks. Think of him like a radio: transmit only, repeating things he's heard. It's not as bad as it may sound--a lot of what he does is the dialogue from computer games or videos he sees (I've heard large portions of the soundtrack of "Finding Nemo" this year) or he sings. I've discovered that, as long as I have a context for what he's singing/saying (i.e.: if I know the source), it becomes background noise. Problem is, for the last couple of weeks he's been singing a song that none of us on the bus can identify, and it's beginning to drive me nuts! I like the song. He has a nice voice. Alex can now count to 12 because he's heard the lyrics so often. But I *NEED* to know what the song is!!!! I've tried Googling without luck, but I don't claim to be an expert at sorting big searches. I'm hoping that someone here will take pity on me and either recognize the lyrics or figure out how to find their source. Where you see a / or a (?) it means I'm not sure of what I'm hearing. The lyrics go: mutters You can call me SungPennsylvania/Transylvania (?) one two three four five. Pennsylvania/Transylvania (?) one two three four five. Pennsylvania/Transylvania (?) one two three four five, six, seven, eight nine ten eleven twelve. Spoken No, no, no. The stones stop at five. How many times do I have to tell you that. Repeat ad nauseum. The tune is catching, kinda bouncy. Any help appreciated. TIA Marie |

Lyrics can be found at http://www.lyricsvault.net/songs/21244.html. Very fun song, even if the 6-5000 isn't one two three four five |

A Sesame Street called "Transylvania 1-2-3-4-5" sung to the tune of "Pennsylvania 6-5000" http://members.tripod.com/Tiny_Dancer/transylv.html Hope this helps! Bizby |

That's got to be it :-) When reading the words, I can hear Stephen's voice, and I realize that "stones" is actually "song." Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Could you explain how you found it in Google? I tried "one two three four five," +song, "no, no, no" and various combos of those phrase and got either 0 hits or 20000+. Thank You again :-) Marie Bizby |
