I listened to the original to check after reading this, and it's "'54 convertible" in that one, so I have no idea what the version they're playing for you could be.Sorus wrote:They seem to have removed The Donkey Song from the playlist, which is good.

The top match is 'auto space convertible'.

I don't think either of those are actual things.
I wish the song itself wasn't an actual thing.

The etymological origin of the word Eskimo (and whether or not it's offensive) is rather interesting.Linna Heartlistener wrote:I didn't catch that "Canadian" is being the replacement word...
And we remember when we were kids and Eskimos were these awesome people who lived in the Arctic and built amazing houses from blocks of ice!
