Swag Swag Like Caillou
by Matt Grosinger on October 14, 2011
Remember that Canadian kids show about that bald kid named Caillou? Me neither. I guess I was more of an Arthur kid (what a wonderful time to play, hey!). But I think I would have switched camps if this had been the theme song to the show.
Yung God’s freestyle, which samples the actual Caillou theme song, is straight up the stupidest thing I have ever heard. And yet, I have listened to it at least 100 times. I can’t decide for sure which line is the best (“My dick fresh like Caillou” is up there), but what I do know is that #LikeCaillou is now my new thing on twitter.
Follow me on twitter! @MattGrosinger is goin for it #LikeCaillou
as a parent of a Sprout-loving four-year-old, I DETEST Caillou. (stupid bald-headed whiny Canadian with pod-people parents)
this ALMOST makes it palatable.
try not walking around singing the damn theme song after hearing it.
Oh, the laughter rolls and the tears are flowing as all my years (two young kids in the house) of Caillou-inflicted pain are released. So much cheaper than therapy… Now if I could just get the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers theme song un-wedged from my brain.
did you have to mention that it’s Canadian? We already have to accept that we gave the world Nickelback and Celine Dion.
Ya, but we have kids in the hall, so that makes up for anything bad we’ve ever produced. If you disagree, I might release the monkeys.
i believe penicillin is a better contribution but to each their own. Also there should be a NSFW unless you got headphones tag. XD
I would like to submit, to the universe, a request that all ‘rappers’ A.) leave my childhood alone (even if it is really dumb) and B.) remember it isn’t rhyming if it’s the same word tagged on the end of the sentence. I believe the list could stretch into the Klingon alphabet as far as requests go but this will suffice for now.
An open letter to Yung God–
Dear Yung God:
No. Stop it. Stop it now. Stop it before you begin. Just stop.
Sincerely,
People who actually like good freestyle rap, and the general public at large
I’m actually watching caillou with my 2 yr old right now. What he sees in this bald four year old is beyond me. EVERYONE COMPLAINS ON THIS SHOW!
hell yeah Caillou!!!
yea, watching Caillou now with the little dude, and listening that song, man great timing… the old lady that narrates sorta gives me the creeps!
I won’t defend Caillou, but I hate the lazy way that people make kids things sexual or dry related and pass it off as clever.
There are many clever things you can do with Caillou (my son and I do it all the time while watching; a kind of father-son MST3K thing).
Robot Chicken does a good job looking at kids’ things and making them adult-funny. Sometimes it crosses that line (for me), but at least I can see the intelligence behind it.
This ain’t that.

It’s getting harder and harder to defend hip hop.
