There was a time when Chuck and I thought the song about the Muffin Man was funny - mostly because in Shrek there is a part that goes like this:
Gingerbread Man: All right. I'll tell you. Do you know... the muffin man?
Lord Farquaad: The muffin man?
Gingerbread Man: The muffin man.
Lord Farquaad: Yes, I know the muffin man. Who lives on Drury Lane?
Gingerbread Man: Well, she's married to the muffin man.
Lord Farquaad: The muffin man?
Gingerbread Man: THE MUFFIN MAN!
Lord Farquaad: She's married to the muffin man.
Okay, it's funny in the movie. Anyway, Chuck and I used to always recite this at random times and crack up.
Well, apparently Jack inherited this love for the Muffin Man. He talks about him all the time and tells us that we're the muffin man or Tugboat is the Muffin Man, or random people are Muffin Men. When the song starts on his CD he shrieks "MUFFIN MAN!!!!!!!" just like teenage girls scream when they see a rock star in concert. He hasn't fainted yet, but that probably isn't far off.
We are forced to play the song for him at every meal and while he's going potty, because as luck would have it, his MP3 player (yes he has a toddler version of an MP3 player) has little British children singing the Muffin Man as well.
It's really getting old.
If anyone has suggestions for how to make a 2 old kick an addiction, we'd be interested in hearing them.

No!...don't stop it! The Muffin Man lights up his life!!! Use it to your advantage! When you need to distract him all you have to do is say those three little words (THE MUFFIN MAN) and he's all smiles! I must admit I don't get it, though....he never got that excited over Santa Claus!
