With tanks of water and acid he will drown There are many versions of this mock barney song which can be found at For example, I think it is a sense of status that causes the children to spread this chant and they enjoy that feeling that they can be different from other students. Since the older kids know the new and different rhyme, they can distinguish themselves from the “kiddies” and “babies” who still watch Barney, the friendly purple dinosaur.
