Merry Un-Christmas, everyone! And thanks to Jack, do check out his channel if you don't know it. (One bit of minutiae that didn't make the video: Bart also sang it in the very first episode, but the lyrics were slightly different and the show wasn't a pop culture phenomenon back then.)

Yes, i went to elementary school i. The 90s before the Simpson's episode in question and "robin laid an egg" variant was already the most popular by a long shot.

@timothymallon Рік тому
I was born in the USA. As a small child, in grade school, I learned "Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid and egg. The Batmobile, lost its wheel and the Joker got away, Hey!" and that would have been around 1976, roughly. But no later than 1979. Consequently, we also learned a little ditty that went, "Batman's in the kitchen, Robin's in the hall, Joker's in the bathroom, peeing on the wall"
@2two10one5 Рік тому

@samuelling2998 3 роки тому
To be fair, it could be interpreted as a 2-level pun: "Robin laid..." sets up an expectation that it's going to be "...and egg", but guns can be laid, although in that sense it refers to aiming the gun, and gun laying is usually for large caliber artillery pieces, which doesn't gel so well with "shot a tree". But yes, "laid a gun" is a term of art.

Exactly, it's more of a winter song than Christmas; in fact, it was originally written for a different winter holiday (Thanksgiving, celebrated at the end of November, which is already winter where it was written in the northeastern USA). So perfectly appropriate in Australia (and New Zealand, South Africa, etc) now.

Another influence in the 90's could have stemmed from the Batman franchise itself. There is a Christmas epiaode of the animated Batman TV show where the Joker sings that song, and he also uses the "laid an egg" version.

"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. The Batmobile lost a wheel and Joker got away" was also sung by The Joker in "Christmas with the Joker," the second episode of Batman: The Animated Series from 1992. That's the closest to canon we've gotten, as far as I'm aware. It's also notably before The Simpsons.

Kenny Williams sang this version loudly in Mr. Mattus’ class in 1981. Ray Wiznowski tried asserting the ‘Joker did ballet’ version but Kenny said that was (homophobic slur) and so it was dropped. Correction not 1979 it was 1981.
