When this was taught in school i would sing it with all my heart thinking about a doll that i never had. i did own a walky talky laters when Papa went to Japan but when i was singing the song with fervor i did not own any doll. And i longed to have at least one.
In my imagination that Bonnie was always my cherubic doll with curly golden hair and blue eyes.
Also i thought it is a mothers song for her bonnie probably sung as a lullaby.
In my imagination that Bonnie was always me as any bonnie could only be a girl.
i still don't know why when even though now i know the ambiguity of the term, Bonnie still conjures the image of a cute baby girl with curly hair.

Really, Shivani? I never knew that Beatles and Tony Sheridian sang this song. I always thought that this was some kindergarten song but I do like singing this song in weird voices when no on is at home.
ReplyDeleteSheridian is singing the song in a very rock-n-roll fashion. Whoever thought that this song would be performed like this!
Joy always,
Susan
@ Susan yeah me too. I too thought about the song as a kindergarten song not until...
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking time out to listen to the rock n roll version. Now when no ones around maybe u can try it...sometimes it's therapeutic...singing songs and making own versions out of it.
Love and hugs,
Joy always to you too
