My paragraph revision

2. Mud (The Serendipity Singers)
Back in the good old days of vinyl records and 8 track tapes, yes I am that old don’t rub it in, my parents had an old folk song record. I’m sure this record had many fun and interesting songs on it but the only one that sticks in my mind is a song about a hippopotamus playing in the mud. My sister and I would play it over and over laughing hysterically and running around the house singing “Mud, mud, glorious mud!” I’m sure we drove our older siblings crazy, probably our parents too now that I think about it. It was a fun, silly song that has stuck with me and I have passed on to my kids. My little girls now run around the house singing “Mud mud glorious mud!” and we all giggle ourselves silly.


Revision
Back in the good old days of vinyl records and 8 track tapes, my parents had an old folk song record. I'm sure this record had many fun and interesting songs on it, but the one that really sticks out in my mind is about a hippopotamus and his girlfriend playing in the mud. My sister and I thought it was simply hilarious and would play it over and over, laughing hysterically, and running around the house singing, "Mud, mud, glorious mud!" I'm sure we drove our older siblings crazy, probably our parents too. It is a fun silly song that has stuck with me and that I have passed on to my own children. When a moment of silliness overcomes us we pop it into the stereo, and now my little girls are the ones who run around the house singing, "Mud, mud, glorious mud!" and we all giggle ourselves silly.
