song lyrics written and performed by Anita
Renfroe
In 2007 Anita Renfroe, a veteran Christian comedienne,
came up with a nearly three-minute song of momisms set to the tune of
the "William Tell Overture", also known as the theme song from "The
Lone Ranger". With 15 million hits on the YouTube video and counting,
the popularity of "Momsense" earned Renfroe a home on ABC's "Good
Morning America" doing features looking at the lighter side of
motherhood.
However, a lot of men emailed her asking for equal time.
Thus, she came up with the sequel, "Dadsense". It's much shorter than
"Momsense", but the story behind it makes it worth watching.
How short
is it? Well--spoiler alert, spoiler alert--here are ALL the words to "Dadsense":
The real heart of the "Dadsense" video is a monologue in
which Renfroe explains all the difficulties she had researching the
appropriate dadisms to write in since she as woman was "underqualified"
to dish them out herself, and offers an apology if it doesn't sound too
convincing.
And if you think Renfroe flaked out on "Dadsense", then
