When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I had several of the Burger King Pokemon meal toys that exploded on the market at that time. A very small Oddish plush was one of them. One day I was feeling really sad (possibly from sickness), and my father tried to cheer me up. He randomly picked up the Oddish plush, waved it back and forth, and made this chant on the spot:

Oomba, oomba, oomba, oomba

Cook you up

And eat you for dinner!

What does "Oomba" mean? Absolutely NOTHING! But I couldn't feel bad after that silly performance. My father can't remember actually performing the skit, but it's become an inside joke in my family, and I will never forget how simple but warming that little tune placed in my heart - even if Oddish wants to cook you!

So here's an animation loop in tribute to that stupid little joke.
