Judy Pancoast is a children's songwriter.
Most of her songs were made purely for their entertainment value, but a few had morals (like Walk Away and Better Things to Do), and a few were inspired by her own children (like Monkey Girl and The Potty Dance).
!! Judy Pancoast's songs provide examples of
* AcidRefluxNightmare: The singer in "Swimming in Jello" believes that the reason why they dreamt they were swimming in jello was because they ate pizza before bed.
* AfraidOfNeedles: Zigzagged for the child in "Got to Get a Shot". She is very nervous to get a shot but afterwards, she tells the audience to be brave, but that "you'll be fine 'til you have to go and get one again".
* AnAesop:
** "Walk Away" has an Aesop about how, if you've been mean to, don't listen to the mean person, just, well, walk away.
** "Better Things To Do" has an Aesop about how you don't need drugs, because you can find better things to do.
* BizarreTasteInFood: The kid from "Pickles" makes ''pickle cookies''.
* ButtMonkey: In the song "Yucky", Judy has "never met anyone more unlucky" than the nursery rhyme characters.
* CensoredForComedy: "Seven Words That Make Kids Laugh" has the seven words unsaid and treated like swear words, but they're implied to be cheeky, but tame words (like "pee" and "potty").
* ChristmasEpisode: In "Pickles", a kid puts out pickle-related gifts for Santa.
* CloudCuckooLander: The kid in "Pickles" puts pickles in everything.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Apparently, the singer in "Yucky" doesn't like plums.
* DrugsAreBad: "Better Things To Do" is about how drugs are not only bad, they're not as fun as some other things you can do.
* DrugsAreGood: Initially, the friend in "Better Things To Do" thinks that drugs are just magic pills to make you happy and popular, but he soon changes his tune.
* FakeInteractivity:
** "The Potty Dance" has the steps to the dance.
** "Yucky" tells the audience to say, "bleah" and a fake audience replies.
* TheFoodPoisoningIncident: Zigzagged for "Swimming in Jello". The singer dreams they are swimming in jello and believes it to be because of too much pizza, however, they have no other symptoms, and we all know how surreal dreams can be.
* GenkiGirl: "Monkey Girl" is all about a very energetic little girl.
* {{God}}: God is mentioned in "Seven Words That Make Kids Laugh", where He's said to have a sense of humour because He made giraffes.
* {{Heaven}}: Judy states that she's heard that if you say the seven words that make kids laugh, you won't get to Heaven, but doubts that it's true on the grounds that God probably has a sense of humour.
* MassivelyNumberedSiblings: The old woman's children who lived in a shoe are mentioned in "Yucky" and are said to be yucky themselves.
* TheMedic: A doctor features in "Gotta Get a Shot".
* NoseNuggets: One of the Seven Words That Make Kids Laugh is implied to be "booger".
--> ''Now, you can try hard not to laugh because you're sweet as sugar, but why is your finger up your nose? Are you looking for a--?''
* {{Not}}: The song "The Perfect Kid--Not" has pretty much all the lines end in "not".
* ThePigPen: If the song "Yucky" is to be trusted, ''all'' of the old woman who lives in a shoe's children are "yucky, icky and sticky".
* PottyDance: The whole song "The Potty Dance" is about this.
* PottyFailure: Never happens, but "The Potty Dance" does mention "If I don't get to a bathroom soon, I'm gonna have to change my pants".
* PottyEmergency:
** In "The Potty Dance", a girl needs to pee during school.
** In "Seven Words That Make Kids Laugh", the narrator is implied to have to go to the bathroom twice.
* SantaClaus: A kid leaves gifts for Santa in "Pickles".
* ShoutOut: ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' is mentioned in "There's Nothing Like a Dog".
* SoundEffectBleep: In the song "Seven Words That Make Kids Laugh", each of the seven words are censored with a sound effect.
* {{Squick}}: InUniverse, the song "Yucky" is about finding "yucky" aspects of nursery rhymes.
* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: In "Seven Words That Make Kids Laugh", each of the first six is implied with a rhyme but left unsaid.
--> ''I think that you can figure out what some of them might be. I'll have to tell you later 'cause now I have to--*(boing!)*''
* SweetTooth: The song "Candy" is all about having a sweet tooth but not being allowed candy.
* TakeThat: "Yucky" seems to be a Take That towards nursery rhymes, calling certain aspects of it yucky.
* ToiletHumour:
** "The Potty Dance" is all about needing to pee.
** "Seven Words That Make Kids Laugh" has seven toilet-humour-related words that make children laugh. They are not said, but [[spoiler: the first six are implied to be "pee", "farted", "poop", "potty", "butts" and "booger". The seventh is not revealed.]]
* TheUnreveal: The seventh of the seven words that make kids laugh is not revealed.
