Your measurements in the UK are genius especially using the Simpson episode. This is similar to using an “instrument” to test for causal change. I grew up in Boston in the 70s. We sang “Robin laid an egg”. This was way before the Simpson’s episode. However, some of the Simpson’s writers were growing up in the Boston area during the 70s as well.

It's amazing how conformist the United States is on so many things. I think it's to do with the puritanical history of the country. Anyone trying anything different gets shouted down, metaphorically speaking.

"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. The Batmobile lost a wheel and Joker got away" was also sung by The Joker in "Christmas with the Joker," the second episode of Batman: The Animated Series from 1992. That's the closest to canon we've gotten, as far as I'm aware. It's also notably before The Simpsons.

To be fair, it could be interpreted as a 2-level pun: "Robin laid..." sets up an expectation that it's going to be "...and egg", but guns can be laid, although in that sense it refers to aiming the gun, and gun laying is usually for large caliber artillery pieces, which doesn't gel so well with "shot a tree". But yes, "laid a gun" is a term of art.

I'm only a few minutes in, but so far I feel like that's been overlooked as a source for this version solidifying itself in the minds of many children, although I highly suspect the author was using the version from the Simpsons, so that's likely still the true originator of this 'full version'.

Regarding the “Robin laid an egg” verse...it most certainly existed by AT LEAST 1975 in Philadelphia, PA, when I remember singing it on the school bus and in the schoolyard. Also, there was no other ending lyric than “the Bat Mobile lost a wheel and THE JOKER GOT AWAY!”

Three years late here, but the version on the Simpsons was definitely the one I heard/sang as a kid, and that was long before the Simpsons came out (I was in high school when Simpsons started). The Joker also sang it in Batman:The Animated Series in 1992.

In Finland we had one rhyme it went along the lines of: "Batman oli mielipuoli, hyppäs katolta ja kuoli." Which is translated to English: "Batman had a mental breakdown, jumped down from roof and died." *And yes, kids are truly monsters if you ask me.*

Yep, along with the Joy to the World version

I was born in 1998 and grew up in Maidstone, Kent and “Robin laid an egg” was always the version I heard as a kid! I think it usually ended abruptly immediately after that line, but the bit about Uncle Billy losing his willy on the motorway does sound vaguely familiar too.

Oh my gosh, Australia has a series of books like that British one. Someone catalogued childrens playground rhymes for posterity. Books in the series were: Unreal Banana Peel, All Right Vegemite, Far Out Brussel Sprout etc. Also my region called tag ‘Tips’

The “Robin laid a gun” one is probably mixed from the version “Jingle Bells, shotgun shells, granny had a gun...”

Reawakening some memories here. I'm Canadian, and I TOTALLY forgot about the verse about the broken skiis until you brought it up, and it was exactly the version I knew as a kid. Also interesting to me was that you mentioned the "robin layed an egg, batmobile lost a wheel and the joker did ballet" version but not the variant of "the joker got away" which I'd say were split about 50/50 (in my time and location).

I was born in late 90s USA. While I would’ve answered the “laid an egg” version of the default I def remember kids using the “laid a gun” version as a spoof. I reckon if you’d asked people for any alternate versions they knew they’d have given that one a fair bit

You have admit, Robin laying an egg is a more humorous image than just flying away.

@@giddyup523 It's the double meaning that gives it extra legs. But I think "laid an egg" for farting is more common in USA than UK? We used to say "phwoaaar - eggy one" but not "you laid an egg". Which may explain why the "flew away" variant gained ground in the UK as "laid an egg" didn't obviously follow from "Batman smells".

I just watched this again 2 years later. It's absolutely brilliant.

At the start of this video, I remembered it as 'Robin laid an egg' but then I heard the 'Robin laid a gun' and remembered that's the one that actually filled up my entire childhood and I didn't remember it Darn you, REPRESSED MEMORIES!

US, senior citizen, and traveled to Europe during my "tween" years... the game is tag and the version I've known since sometime in the late '60s was always "Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, the batmobile lost its wheel and the joker got away..."

Hey Tom! I know this is an old video, but I was one of the few that had a "broken skis" verse. The full version went: Jingle bells Batman smells Robin laid an egg Batmobile lost a wheel And joker got away Crashing through the snow On a pair of broken skis Through the hills we go Breaking both our knees The snow is turning red I think I might be dead And all I want for Christmas Is a hospital bed

I grew up with a similar second verse but it goes more like this: Dashing through the snow, on a broken pair of skis O'er the hills we go, crashing into trees!

Exactly, it's more of a winter song than Christmas; in fact, it was originally written for a different winter holiday (Thanksgiving, celebrated at the end of November, which is already winter where it was written in the northeastern USA).
