1. ♫ Don't you put it in your mouth...

...Though it might look good to eat and it might look good to taste!♫
If you were a Canadian child in the '90s, you were treated to two blue monsters, a talking beet, and a lion warning you against the dangers of putting foreign objects in your mouth.
It's a lifelong lesson, really.
2. ♫ Skinnamarinky dinky dink, skinnamarinky doo...

...I love you!♫
Oh yes, you probably wore out your Sharon, Lois, and Bram cassette tapes and you drove your parents crazy asking them to sing "Skinnamarink" with you... WITH THE ACTIONS.
3. ♫ Hey! It's Franklin...

...Coming over to play!♫
Back when Franklin was hand-drawn (as it should be) you probably knew every word of the intro to your favourite turtle's theme song.
4. ♫ Reach for the sky-ee-iiii...

...And hold your head up high. For tonight, and every night, you're a superstar.♫
You probably have memories of this blaring through the speakers at your neighbourhood Jellybean Dance.
5. ♫ Polka dot door, the polka dot door...

...Let's peek through the polka dot door.♫
This song heralded one of the best costumed-dramas a four-year-old could find.
(And by costumed, I mean one of the grown-ass adults dressing up as Polkaroo.)
6. ♫ Are you ready? Are you ready?

...Are you ready to clown around?♫
YES, WE ARE READY TO CLOWN AROUND. Bring it on, Loonette! We've been working on our clock stretch.
7. ♫ You are the girl...

...Of my dreams. Babeh.♫
Whether you were into Canada's boy band or not, you undoubtably were subjected to their "smash hit" over and over and over again.
8. ♫ Na na, na na na, hey hey...

...Carry me away! ♫
The lyrics may have not have been genius, but they still enticed you to want to sail away on this high-school cruise ship. (Or maybe it was young Ryan Gosling who enticed you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
9. ♫ I know it's up for me ...

...If you steal my sunshine.♫
Chances are, this totally sounds like your summer of '99.
10. ♫ Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine...

...I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time.♫
If you want an immediate dose of nostalgia, Fred Penner is still (thankfully) around and still singing about sandwiches.
11. ♫ Four hugs a day, that's the minimum...

...four hugs a day, not the maximum!♫
Right next to your Sharon, Lois, and Bram cassette was probably a Charlotte Diamond cassette. At least you knew the minimum daily hug requirement by heart.
