    The punchline? *THESE GUYS ARE SWEDISH.*
    Not only is Sweden responsible for Caramelldansen, they’re responsible for THIS. And MAMMA MIA. And Minecraft. And the Nobel Prize. And PewDiePie. And Roomie. And Seth Everman. And AronChupa. And Greta Thunberg. And IKEA. And Spotify. And Volvo. And Stieg Larsson. And the Skarsgårds.

      It was also popular in Scandinavia in the 90s..! It was included on either Hits For Kids 1 or 2 that came out in 1998 and 1999 respectively if I remember correctly. Some of the songs were great like this one, some casually racist like a Swedish guy pretending to be a Calcuttan taxi driver and Witch Doctor (the music video...), some typical stuff of the day like n'sync or how it's written, spears, aqua, spice, and backstreet, and some... You wouldn't want a kid look at the music video or understand the lyrics... Man... Those albums were weird... But it was catchy and sounded funny, and that was all kids cared about... And it was the 90s...

    I was about to propose to my girlfriend when my roommate Joseph barged into the room out of nowhere, tripped, and fell over, breaking a glass table with his face. Totally ruined the mood. Now I don't know Joseph THAT well, don't even remember where he was from, but let's say I put my plans on hold to help him through his injuries.
    Joseph had gotten a big glass shard in his eye, making him completely blind in that eye. He was walking around with one of those big cotton pads on his eye for a couple of months. Then suddenly, he disappeared, along with my girlfriend.
    Apparently they'd bonded during the time after his injuries, and eloped together, leaving me behind without as much as a note. I tried to track them down, but never could.
    If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe. I'd have been married a long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, cotton eye Joe?

      Not to be autistic about it but cotton-eyed could mean white-eyed, as in showing a lot of the white, meaning wide-eyed, meaning anxious/fearful. Cotton-eye joe going here and there makes sense if he’s chronically on edge.

    Back in the mid-late 90's, my friends and I used to go to the rollerblading rink on the other side of town every weekend, and Cotton Eyed Joe would be played at least five or six times everytime we were there from the pit dj as they called it. This was the place to be back then. I mean it was as the 90's as you could get with rollerblading, the music, Mortal Kombat 3, The Simpsons, Final Fight in the arcade area, trading pokemon cards in the cafe area and more, but as much as it drives me nuts now, this song always reminds me of that place. It broke our hearts when it was torn down once rollerblading popularity started to drop off in the 2000's, and an office building was put up in its place. I sure do miss those days. Just turned 35 man time flies.
