Quotes / Fear Song

Music

I've no fear of wasps and bees,
Mosquitoes only tease,
I rather like a cricket on the hearth,
But my blood runs cold to meet,
In pyjamas and bare feet,
With a great big hairy spider in the bath.

— Flanders and Swann, "The Spider"

I gotta get a shot. (No! No! No!)
I gotta get a shot. (No! No! No!)
Call it vaccination, immunisation, inoculation...
I gotta get a shot. (No! No! No!)

— Judy Pancoast, "I Gotta Get a Shot!"

I was in my science class when I started screaming.
It was 'cause of a video the teacher was streaming.
It was about a lung disease. I hope they all get better,
But whoever named it gave it way too many letters!
I mean, really, who would name a disease "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"?
Not very sensitive to people who have...
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia,
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia,
If you're afraid of big long words, here's one you should know-a:
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.

—Songdrops, "The Long Word Song"

"Looks like I better run for my life
I'll never be in one piece to see Night Five
I've got eleven on my tail, with no time to think
Of a way to survive, Mechanical Instinct"

—Aviators, "Mechanical Instinct"

Grover: "Yes, you just want to scream the loudest scream that can be made."

Elmo & Grover: "Aaaaahh! That is how it feels when we feel afraid."

— Sesame Street
