Ok I started humming along so that's something, lyrics might be in Spanish

u/Mermaidxoxo53 May 11 '25
I feel like it’s a really popular carnival song, or like from looney tunes/cartoons ect. It’s whimsical but could definitely be another language for sure!!

That’s what I was thinking I recognize it I know it’s something I heard when I was little almost like one of those carousel tunes

Fingers crossed because otherwise I’ll pull my hair out trying to think of the right answer. Shazam didn’t like my humming lol 😂 but if it’s a kids rhyme most likely wouldn’t be on Shazam lol
I’m glad I’m not crazy and didn’t just pull this tune from no where! You’re the third person to say it sounds familiar.

Oh, I have all my fingers, the knife goes chop, chop, chop If I miss the spaces in between, my fingers will come off And if I hit my fingers, the blood will soon come out But all the same, I play this game 'cause that's what it's all about Oh, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, I'm picking up the speed And if I hit my fingers, then my hand will start to bleed

I'm going to go nuts. It's something... bahahaha, OBVIOUSLY. but I feel like I know what you're saying. How old are you? Whatever I'm hearing, ends up going faster and faster??? It's something from elementary school to me perhaps. *I went down to the something something blah blah blah blah ... like close to the song *Miss Mary black black black... all dressed in black..., or ** down by the banks of the hankypanks where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bank . ☆☆☆ Cmon . Keep saying stuff, my shitty memory almost remembered something. Lol

u/Mermaidxoxo53 May 11 '25
I’m 30, but also the youngest of 7 and my oldest brother is in his late 40’s so it could be something I hear from them.
BUT YES!!! It does go faster and faster!!! You’re right!!! My brain wants to say when it’s faster “mix mix mix mix mix mix mix I mix it all the time and when it done ……….”
But I also feel like my lyrics could be so wrong wrong 🤣🤣🤣

The middle school rhyme sounds the most accurate to me. I kept thinking there’s silly lyrics I couldn’t place my finger on and anything that was fun like this beat and got faster was normally a game so I think that’s why I originally thought carnival song. BUT I can so picture myself as a kid singing this with others. UGH! Haha

Was used for a «knife game» when I was younger where you try to avoid hitting your fingers while the song increases in speed

I believe it's based off the old dreidel dreidel dreidel song. With the tempo slightly sped up. Your version definitely sounds familiar from somewhere but I can't place exactly where.

u/Reasonable-Return385 May 11 '25
I believe the underlying tone was also used in the song "I'm My own Grandpa"

To me, it sounds like an old Italiano folk tune like https://youtu.be/9POXYWLcvYI?si=RMo8hpM1FWXZTRDt
https://youtu.be/HcKME6Oi-Jk?si=VOZ7-GqytuMIDgNJ --thinking it sounds mostly like this one.

The merry-go-round broke down?
Might also be something else from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. They used several similar sounding songs in it.

I have heard what sounds like this tune recently and it's different to the knife game song. Or it maybe was that song but sang by someone else and not the rusty chap that wrote it. It was in a film or TV series I think. It's more up beat like Yakkos world song but not like the Mexican hat song. Yakko sounds more in rhythm with the knife game song then the hat song. It's a cool rhythm and very catchy.

It's the rythym to the "miss Susie had a steamboat" the one that ends each line with a cuss that starts another line.
