Whenever my 3-year-old sings this, it sounds like she's cussing... I swear he intentionally left the "does" out so that this would happen.

No doubt in my mind. However, it was probably aimed at a higher age group, and no one considered there might be collateral damage.Pythagorean said:

I was a little on the fence until he first started doing the fox sounds, then I sat down and stared.
Then came the "moo-o-o-o-orse" line and I knew it was going to be a while before I got tired of this one. Look at how many hits he has. Insane.

LOL. I actually saw the vine posts way before the actual video until this past week when a friend told me about the video. So I decided to force myself to watch the whole video and I was like, "What on Earth did I just watch?!"
I must admit, it was catchy, but annoying.

Yeah I saw a vine video using the song before seeing the actual song and I had convinced myself that the viners were tripping beyond measure.

Vine is an app for iPhones and Android phones. Vine is just a 6 second video app pretty much. I usually just get on to view funny videos, I rarely post videos.

You're welcome.
I'm sure you can look up funny vines on YouTube. I'm positive people have uploaded vines to YouTube, of some sort.
