Iceland: We have this really weird children's song.
Germany: HOLD MY BEER!

[olafurw]

It's a great song but that kid is a handful.

[ebonyofthestars]

Giving your brother a cinnamon roll to eat doesn't sound too bad. The others do sound questionable

[Disapppointment]

This and “the farting song” are the og Icelandic kid songs
If your from Iceland you have heard that song

[Hunter_VanderMatthews]

"Whachu doin'?"
"Eatin' chocolate."
"Where'd you get it?"
"Doggy dropped it."
"Where's he now?"
"Behind the door."
"What's he doin'?"
"Makin' more."

Only works in my mind with a Texan accent. 🤠

[williamhrivnak]

Suddenly “Ja Ja Ding Dong” from the Eurovision movie makes a lot more sense

[UsernameH]

Here's the song in Icelandic and a version I decided to translate into English to post here. Just click the "read more".


*ICELANDIC:*
Það má ekki pissa bakvið hurð
og ekki henda grjóti oní skurð
ekki fara í bæinn
og kaupa popp og tyggjó
og ekki nota skrúfjárn fyrir sleikjó

Það má ekki vaða út í sjó
og ekki fylla húfuna af snjó
ekki tína blómin
sem eru út í beði
og ekki segja ráddi heldur réði.

Þetta fullorðna fólk er svo skrýtið
það er alltaf að skamma mann
þó maður geri ekki neitt
það er alltaf að skamma mann

Það má ekki skoða lítinn kall
og ekki gefa ketti drullumall
og ekki skjóta pabba
með byssunni hennar ömmu
og ekki tína orma handa mömmu

Það má ekki hjóla inn í búð
og ekki gefa litla bróður snúð
ekki fara að hlæja
þó einhver sé að detta
ekki gera hitt og ekki þetta.

Þetta fullorðna fólk er svo skrýtið
það er alltaf að skamma mann
þó maður geri ekki neitt
það er alltaf að skamma mann.


*ENGLISH:*
It is not allowed to pee behind a door
nor throw rocks into a ditch
nor go into town
or buy popcorn and gum
nor use a screwdriver as a lollipop

It is not allowed to wade into the sea
nor fill your hat við snow.
do not pick the flowers
that are out in the (flower)bed
nor say "ráddi" but "réði".

These adult people are so strange
they are always scolding you
even though you didn't do anything
they are always scolding you

It is not allowed to inspect a small man
nor to give a cat mud
nor to shoot your father
with the gun that grandma owns
nor pick tiny worms for your mom

It is not allowed to ride a bicycle inside a store
nor give your little brother a cinnamon roll
not allowed to laugh
even though someone tripped
do not do this nor that.

These adult people are so strange
they are always scolding you
even though you didn't do anything
they are always scolding you.

[resolvanlemmy]

"Can I laugh if someone falls over?"
We Moroccans do that all the time for literally no reason at all.

[Pjokka]

Theres a wierd children song in Norway, which goes like: Who can sail without wind
Who can row without oars
Who can be separated from his friend
without shedding tears?

I can sail without wind
I can row without oars
but not separated from my friend
without shedding tears!

The bird sails without wind
The fish row without oars
But no one can be separated from his friend
without shedding tears! Aperantly this is a lullaby

[Pwr_magni]

Adult: what no wait who gave you a gu....
Kid: "Grandma"🫠
Adult: oh the nerf gun

[mfKavaler]

Það má ekki pissa bak við hurð gaf mér nostalgia

[Beannin]

We have a similar song in Denmark called "Fy fy skamme", basically the same concept. Hilarious.

[Sof_rha]

In Norway we have a song about a screaming pig (kveldssong for deg og meg), I think Scandinavia is just weird 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[aslaugsara]

Holy shit my childhood ÞETTA FULLORNA FÓLK ER SVO SKRÍTIÐ

[Gestur]

Þú gleymdir partinum þegar hann seigir að það má ekki skjóta pabba með byssunni hennar ömmu 😂


If someone wants to know then the song is called: lagið um allt sem er bannað

[Ilovepinkpalmpuff]

Má ég pissa bak við hurð was my childhood

[markushaahr]

“Þessa fullorðna Fólk er svo skrýtinn!”

[metheiam]

Does icelandic also share the same word with cinnamon bun and the ear punishing method?

[elineddagunnarsdottir]

[StaringCompetition]
