Paul's Song Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 12, 2017

If you aren’t familiar with it, perhaps you might be more familiar with this more recent line sung by a warthog named Pumba and ...read more

There are some that are so recognizable that when part of it is heard or sung, you can immediately recognize the TV show that it belongs to. For example, “Here’s a story, of a lovely lady, who had three very lovely girls…” belongs to ...read more
