The Wheels on the Bus

[gfish]

Was anybody else confused by this song as a kid? Specifically the "the driver on the bus says 'move on back'" part. I don't know about your grade school bus experience, but at my school the back of the bus was the place to be. What driver would ever need to tell people to move back? It was like the writer of the song hadn't bothered to even do basic research. I remember a similar moment of cognitive dissonance being told about Rosa Parks.

No, the back of the bus was certainly the place to be. However, I wasn't confused, because I had one truly anal-retentive bus driver who insisted that everyone had to move *all the way* to the back, and fill in each row, three to a seat.

This man had issues...
