We still love you R. I still love it either way, no matter who sings it. General Comment I feel that this is one of the dumbest songs ever written.

General Comment haha that would be funny General Comment you gotta look a little deeper man But if that were the case, I think I would have heard about another or otheer more risque versions. Anonymous, for the folkloric record, I'd love to know where you lived in the USA when you learned that parody.

Hi, same Anonymous here again. I actually learned the parody at an American Air Force base in western Germany. I am white and a woman. And I know for certain there were other non-Black children singing it as well--pretty much the whole bus knew the song. Also, I think we all sang the one chorus, but people would try to continue it with more violent images, not graphically violent, but akin to the "shot by the FBI" line. None of the song was dirty though. Hi anonymous! Thanks for that response. And thanks for confirming that this particular parody was [and perhaps is still] sung by non-Black people.

But often children in other countries are taught American playground rhymes as part of an English language lesson. People from other countries might learn an American playground rhyme because that rhyme is featured on an American television show that is shown in their country. Or people from other nations might communicate with Americans or travel to the USA and learn a rhyme and then take it back to their country. YouTube is a great source for learning rhymes and watching the way others play them. And sometimes YouTube comment threads are a good way to learn what versions of rhymes children really chant. Most rhyme book only feature one squeekly clean example of a particular rhyme, Again, anonymous, I appreciate your comments, and I'm glad to have your anecdotal information as part of this rhyme's folkloric documentation.

In third grade, i heard some kids singing this I believe i can die I just got shot by the FBI all i wanted was a chicken wing. My son told me this one today from his school. Thanks Crystal Matthey for sharing your son's version of this parody. I wonder if children nowadays know that this jingle came from R. I all i wanted was a burger from burger king and a wing from wing stop.

Thanks for sharing that example, Anonymous September 12, at PM. The last word of that line almost certainly rhymed with "chips". I wonder if it was "hips" or "lips" or "dips"?? Does anybody else remember a version of this rhyme like this one? Yep, I know this is old but it was "but I got shot in the dangly bits", haha! I'm just reading Anonymous January 14, 's comment. I'm sorry that I'm so late responding. Thanks for sharing that rhyming line for the word "chips"! My niece was telling me this recently. It's simular to what I heard growing up but it's half of what the full version is, considering it was made into a full song that we used to sing on the bus. The rest I don't remember. Hi, Anonymous. It's interesting how some songs become rhymes or chants and others don't.

I believe I can soar, See me running through that grocery store Hello, Cait. I hadn't come across that version before. I'm curious when what year and where city and state or at least which state it's from. Our principal circa loved i beleive i can fly and played it at all our assemblies. I can't recall the rest. I'm just re-reading this discussion about "I believe I can fly" parodies. Thanks Anonymous October 16, for your comment. You wrote that you remember your principal around playing the song "I Believe I Can Fly" at your assemblies.

Kelly's song was considered to be motivational, but kids had fun with the parodies of that song. For the record no pun intended , the earliest date that "I Believe I Can Fly" could have been used for school assemblies was That's still "circa ". Kelly from the soundtrack to the film Space Jam. It was originally released on November 26, , and was later included on Kelly's album R. It also topped the charts in eight countries including the United Kingdom , has won three Grammy Awards, and was ranked number on Rolling Stone's list of the Greatest Songs of All Time in The music video was directed by Kelly with Hype Williams.

For the folkloric record, what city and state was this in? I all i wanted was a burger from burger king and a wing from wing stop the song ends there when i sung it for the first time to my friends it got stuck in everyones head. It's interesting how the words change from one community or school to another. All I wanted was a bag of chips, Instead I got blown to bits Sing chorus. Sing verse. Sing chorus x2, while gradually fading. I hadn't heard or read that one before. That's another one I hadn't "heard" before. Children today still sing this song I cannot believe this.

I remember this as a kindergartner in , and as a substitute teacher today, the kids were singing this in a 3rd grade classroom. I had wondered how we all knew this song as kids, universally across the nation, but today was the first time I looked it up, after 20 years knowing it It's interesting how some songs that children latch on to -or compose themselves- have a very short shelf life while others live on for decades- and sometimes even centuries. The one I'm used to is: I believe I can fly! I got caught by the FBI!

All I wanted was a chicken wing! Then they hit me in the ding-a-ling I believed I could soar! Then my face hit the flo-o-oar! I believed I could fly! I also happen to be able to die! I can't fly! Surprised to realize that the version I learned is actually rather unusual. The melody is corrupted to have two extra lines, which I always assumed was normal for the parody. Worth sharing, anyway. Wow it is so amazing to read all the variations! This has been stuck in my head all day. I am from the youngstown.

Hello, Sara Burns. Thanks also for including demographics when and where you sang this song. Best wishes for the New Year! I got shot by the FBI. All I wanted was a chicken wing. But only by elementary school kids lol. I believe that "I Believe I Can Fly" was picked up by children because it has a catchy tune and easy to remember words that can lend themselves to violence and anti-social themes.

This allows children to "toy" with violence and be anti-social without any real life consequences. I grew up in the west suburbs of Chicago in the 90s. I remember learning this parody, probably from my older siblings because I was not yet in school. I'm white, but we lived in a fairly diverse suburb. Greetings, kyle allison. Also, for folkloric purposes, thanks for including demographics date, geographical location, and race. Anonymous, thanks for sharing that version of the parody "I believe I can fly". Hello, Anonymous March 9, I've never heard that version before. Best wishes! Heres one. I believe i can fly I got shot by the FBI all I wanted was a chicken wing from the old burnt down burger king I believe i can soar i got whipped at the grocery store I believe I can glide i fell off a giant water slide i fell off of it very fast and then i died on impact i believe i can fly i really like to make pie but every time i make a pie they would just always die.

Oof sorry I know it sucks lol. I wonder how old this version is and if people are still making up versions of this parody. I made one my self I believe I can fly, I got caught by the fbi all I wanted was a chicken wing 5 potato's and chedder cheese. I deleted what the version you initially sent and kept your edited version. My apologies for just responding to you.

For some reason, I only became aware that you shared this when someone added another example to this discussion thread. I love it! Thanks again! Ive never done any of those. Most lines are the same. I could fly. Kinda depressing actually xD. Hello unknown. I've never come across the crawling and dragging parts before. My name is Fritz. Learned in the s when I was a little kid. I remember the version we sang in my Baptist elementary school went something like "I believe I can die I got shot by the FBI All I wanted was a chicken wing all I got was some refried beans".

Thanks also for including demographics. I didn't know that there were elementary schools that are run by Baptists. I had to look up South Texas. I think these are two cities in the state of Texas that are located near each other. Is that right? Thanks, again, Anonymous. Stay well during these difficult times. I believe I can die I was shot by the F.
