Me at 8 thinking it was a great song:💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Me at 24 realising it sounds like a Victorian cult: 😨😨😨

[india]

someone could tell me this from matilda the musical and i’d believe them

[Bumblebee_]

Only realised now that this song I used to shout at the age of 8 is a little... Cultish

[yeouvoid]

so its a universal experience that everyone bopped up and down to this song?

[Kai-yefo]

If you told me this song was created by a cult i would belive you tbh 😭✋🏻

[therizinosaurs]

nah this sounds like some dictatorship propaganda but it still slaps

[PresidentGravy]

I've always said it, this is a prison song

[elliott]

why does this song sound weirdly fascist i always thought it was so weird when we used to sing it

[liaallman]

Am I the only one who finds this song creepy? Sounds a little cult-y.
I remember singing this lol.

[Ashiphan]

Remember singing this in assembly, a bop then a BANGER now

[owinlaa]

This is some dictator shit, I can’t believe we actually sung this 💀

[lily-ellar]

And I remember everyone in the hall would be bobbing up and down 😂

[zac]

I really wanna make a short film about dictatorship with this song playing in the background 😂

[ginjaninja]

This is the perfect balance of authoritarian propaganda and also some sick music that definitely could do a Cossack dance to

[theocartwright]

The fact the song uses "obey" the rules. Not like a follow the rules or listen to the rules. Obey. Btw who knew fascism of all things would sound so good as a song.

[AJV]

I never realised til now how cultish/dictator-y this song, like this song made primary schools look like the Soviet Union

[lunaeclipse]

Me realising that saying the same
'Hello everyonegood morning'
In unison with about 350 other kids then singing this song every Monday Wednesday and Friday was slightly cultish

[ciaranjamiesonfamily-frien]

Nah how did the headteacher not feel a dictator when standing infront of a room of hundreds of children belting out this shit? Did the teachers not feel like SS officers? Honestly gives dictatorial vibes.

[iaw]

this was such a patronising song. i havent heard it in well over a decade and i still hate it as much as i did then.

why does it have to be so like
