| The Aquabats amazing song about Star Wars - called Playdough. Perfect Family Road Trip Song! FUN!!! |
Some days are too much fun.
I was listening to old Aquabats music (from 1996) with the kids today and reminiscing about the fun we have had with their songs over the years.
Road trips (Playdough sing along), dinner menus for the week more than once (Pizza Day song), powdered milk (my kids understand why the Powdered Milk Man must die after tasting it), science lessons (The Cat with Two Heads), Super Rad, etc.
The Ultimate Star Wars Road Trip Song
I mean the Aquabats and Star Wars go hand in hand. You do know the song, "PLAYDOUGH" don't you?If not, you are missing out on a fun family song, especially for family road trips!
Remember the First Time You Sang "Playdough?"
We were on summer vacation, heading to a river in Texas. My younger brother, my kids, and I were all singing this song as we drove along. Every time it gets to the BOLD part of the lyrics, we yelled that word!Ready to start mid-chorus?
- When I was a little MAN
- Playdough came in a little CAN
- I was Star Wars' biggest FAN
- Now I'm stuck without a PLAN
- GI Joe was an action MAN
- Shaggy drove the mystery VAN
- Devo was my favorite BAND
- Take me back to my happy LAND
For the complete Star Wars lyrics to the Aquabats - Playdough, see below:
- When I was a boy
- I used to live in corduroy,
- OP shirts, and slip-on Vans.
- My life was so simple,
- I had not one pimple,
- My everyday was made up of these plans:
- To ride my bike to Thrifty's
- run past the balls and ice cream
- find the Star Wars figurines.
- Thinking of my action men,
- Kung-Fu grip and all,
- What happened to them all?
- Running through my old life
- Looking for my lost toys
- Where has all my fun gone?
- Now that we're all older
- For we grow much colder
- Let's all look forward to the new dawn
- An anthem for my lost toys,
- Now that we're all big boys,
- We'll stand together and sing this song.
- We'll sing this song, it's not too long
- So everybody sing along:
- When I was a little man
- Playdough came in a little can
- I was Star Wars' biggest fan
- Now I'm stuck without a plan
- GI Joe was an action man
- Shaggy drove the mystery van
- Devo was my favorite band
- Take me back to my happy land
- Now my brothers and sisters,
- I don't mean to make a scene.
- But I lost my action figures
- and it makes me want to scream!
- Greedo, Chewbacca, Luke, R2 and Han,
- 3PO, Yoda, Boba Fett and Obi Wan.
- Green Machine, Suckerman,
- Silly Putty, Lincoln Logs,
- Sitting in my Underoos,
- Reading Christmas catalogs.
- What happened to my action men and all?
- What happened to it all?
- Take me back to my happy land
- Take me back to my happy land
This is the Aquabats performing the song live, a much faster version...
