Toot Toot Chugga Chugga by the Wiggles is an Ineffable Husbands song. I'm sorry.

I hoped it wouldn't come to this. I really did. I'm sorry, Australian maggots, you were the first to kidnap me so you hold a special place in my stockholm-syndromed heart. I even made two posts about you! But here we are, as a society.

"Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car" is an X-rated Aziracrow song. You are all free to thank @howmanyholesinswisscheese for introducing me to this song. I am SCARRED FOREVER.

Where do I even start. I'm going to politely not mention the uh, the hand pumping gestures for the toot toot and whatever it is they're, uh, chugging. Don't tell me it's a train noise because that brings a WHOLE lot more unanswered questions.

I'm also going to not mention Simon's in the 'backseat' it's all good Simon you do your thing front or back or however you like.

Okay. So we have Anthony (seriously? Crowley's literal first name?) and he is eating. When we all know he doesn't eat actual food. Mmhm I know what you're eating Anthony.

ANTHONY IS EATING, HE'S EATING SO MUCH FOOD, HE'S EATING APPLES AND ORANGES, FRUIT SALAD TOO.

YEAH OKAY. APPLES? EMBODIMENT OF ORIGINAL SIN AND TEMPTATION BY OUR VERY OWN SERPENT OF EDEN. AND THE FRUIT OH YEAH THIS IS FRUITY.

SOMEONE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO TELL ME THAT THIS LINE "GOT THEM INTO FRUITS" AS A KID. I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU, THIS LINE WAS FRUITY ALL RIGHT, AND SO ARE YOU. VERY, VERY FRUITY, THIS LINE AND YOU AND ANTHONY.

BIG RED CAR, WE'RE GONNA RIDEEEEEE THE WHOLE DAY LONG

Ooooooooookay. The, uh, 'car' is big and red, huh. big and red. That's a bit too much information.

But sure, Anthony, you go right ahead and rideeeeeee that big red 'car' all day long.

They're showing this song to kids? Australia are you okay? @im-a-sentient-magic-carpet? @madfangirlontheloose? @howmanyholesinswisscheese?

POV: it’s the late 2000s, you’re a an Australian kid and summer holidays just started. You’re decked out with showbag merch from the royal show. You spend your Christmas money at diva, the abc 3 Australia Day smack down just aired and now you’re going to the beach. Life is good.

Ad Idea

(It’s that scene from 500 Days of Summer but Tom is holding a packet of Smith’s chips.)

Summer: I love The Smiths.

Tom: What?

Summer: I said I love Smith’s. *steals one of his chips* *loud crunch sound effect*

The Original and the Best: Smith’s Oven Baked

I haven’t watched the movie but I hope this reaches the right audience.

pt II australia but i've never been there

I didn't even have to wait for y'all's responses on part I to make this because Australia is WILDING. As per usual, salutations to Arthur's grandmother's boyfriend Brian.

Everything remaining that I know about Australia:

There was an emu war. There were many emu casualties, and no human ones, but the emus won anyway. Sun Tzu is making way for the emus.

That was the only research I did on the emu wars, but as someone who met a few emus once, they were very lovely to me and very soft to pet. They also were very jabby. One of them looked deeply concerned as they looked at me, I believe they thought I was a deformed emu. I am on the winning side of the war.

During Christmas, Santa does not have a sleigh. He has a surfboard, and he does slay.

There are a lot of animals. Many have no placenta, as I recall from biology. Due to the nature of the continental drift and geographical isolation, Australian marsupials evolved separately from placental mammals, and were not wiped out by invading species. Due to convergent evolution, there are also analogous species between the placental mammals and the marsupials.

What just happened I'm sorry deep science trauma was unearthed. The point is, a lot of animals. A kangaroo is probably in your backyard. A koala just stole your girlfriend. An alligator murdered your classmate. It just happens.

KOOKOOBURRA SITTING ON THE OLD GUM TREE MERRY MERRY SOMETHING SOMETHING idk I was 3 when my mum sang me that.

The internet is awful. Rumours are that the local snake ate it.

Australia is very very pretty, I know this because of an Australian Tourism Department ad that I saw when I was 12 and had cable TV.

You must not forget your Hat. It's like the three little kittens song, but with the Hat instead of mittens.

The Wibbles are a thing. I thought they were a band. Spotify said no. I no longer know what they are.

Crocodile Dundee is a thing. I saw him in Snoopy/Peanuts.

Steve Irvin met his wife in an animal area and his daughter met her husband in an animal area. I don't know anything more these lovely folks, or what the animal area was, I'm afraid.

There is a cake with white stripes that is the Best for Birthdays.

The accent is beautiful, but I admit for years I couldn't differentiate it from British and American accents as a child because to me it sounded like the lovechild of them both and it made me very confused.

Uh, Australia exists.

Yeah, no, that's all I've got. Love to the Australian maggots.
