YMMV / Curly Top

• Memetic Mutation: Animal crackers in my soup.^Explanation Throughout the early 2010s, it was abundantly common for American TV viewers to run into commercials for the Little Darling Collection, a DVD Boxed Set revolving around Shirley Temple's filmography. One of the most well-remembered moments in the ad is a clip from Curly Top where Temple, in-character as Elizabeth Briar, sings the lines "animal crackers in my soup; monkeys and rabbits loop-da-loop" from "Animal Crackers in My Soup". The omnipresence of the ad (thanks to it constantly airing on multiple networks) resulted in it becoming a popular source of jokes online in the latter half of the 2010s, with the "Animal Crackers in My Soup" excerpt becoming a particularly popular subject for quotation and parody.
