歌唱遊戲

歌並不是只有兒童會唱,成人很容易想起他們兒童時期學的歌並會唱給他們的小孩聽;歌詞內容會依歌唱者的不同而稍做改變。

當阿肯色州康彌農場(Cummins State Farm)上的犯人在唱瑪麗馬克(Mary Mack)時也會發生相同的情況。在這個版本內,瑪麗背上只有三或四顆鈕扣,而在其他的版本內,瑪麗則有24顆鈕扣;您唱歌時曾更改過歌詞嗎?


Kids aren't the only ones to sing children's songs. Adults tend to remember songs they learned as children, and sing them to their own children. When different people sing children's songs, the lyrics change a bit.

Such was the case when a group of prisoners on the Cummins State Farm in Arkansas sang "Mary Mack." In this version, Mary had only three or four buttons on her back, whereas in the other version she had 24. Have you ever changed the lyrics when singing a song?
