Run Jody Run

Post by ike in Japan »

From the episode 45 "We Gotta Get Out of This Place."

Kate: Alf, let's...let's rethink this.
Jody lived in an apartment.
Jody had furniture.
Jody walked around the furniture.
Alf: See Jody.
See Jody run.
Run Jody run.
Willie: See the furniture.
See the alien move the furniture back.
Move alien move.
Alf: See the alien throw out his back.
See the alien blame the Tanners.
Lawsuit, Tanner, lawsuit.

Is this a parody of some action rhymes or a song?
I want to know what is the original one.
Somebody please tell me!!!

Not sure but I'm guessing it's from the Forrest Gump movie ("run, Forrest, run")
On the 82nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me 81 cats a-Broiling, 80 cats a-Baking,
79 cats a-Toasting, 78 cats a-Boiling, 77 cats a-Sizzling, 76 cats a-Poaching...

I think it's from a song. It's not taken from Forest Gump. Cause it was made in 1994, and ALF ended in 1990.

Oh right, good point. Sometimes I forget how old this show is.

No idea then :wink:

It seems to me that it would be a parody of something as well...not sure what though...

Thank you for replying my question.

I'm still curious what the original is, but now I know it's not so popular, at least.
Thank you, everybody!

It's a children's song or rhyme. Give me a little bit and I'll figure it out.

Well, there is a song called "Run Sally Run" by the group The Cuff Links in 1970.

I'm pretty sure it's a take off the children's nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice":

Three blind mice,
Three blind mice
See how they run,
See how they run!

They all ran after
The farmer's wife
She cut off their tails
With a carving knife
Did you ever see
Such a sight in your life
As three blind mice?

For awhile I thought it was Pease Porridge Hot but I think Three Blind Mice is it.
