有次聽英文老師在選人上台做簡報，聽他講了一段順口溜，說實在，我連小時候玩遊戲選人當鬼大家唸的那段都忘掉了，現在想起來，先找到英文版本。 (Wiki百科資料說明這首counting rhyme有可能出自1888年美國或英國)
- Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
- Catch a tiger by the toe.
- If he hollers let him go,
- Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
當然Google同時出現了當紅青少年偶像Justin Bieber與Sean Kingston合唱了一首"Eenie Meenie"，隨文附上歌詞。Justin Bieber讓我想起以前的Hanson，童稚未泯的嗓音跟長相，清純到足以讓少女為之瘋狂，到現在Jonas Brothers兩個風靡全美的少男樂團，全球一片少男少偶像當道的音樂界，似乎將紅的條件跟年齡扯上了不少關係。
LYRICS
(Sean)
Eenie meenie miney mo
Catch a bad chick by her toe
If she holla (if, if, if she holla) let her go
Shes indecisive
She cant decide
She keeps on lookin
From left to right
Girl, cmon get closer
Look in my eyes
Searchin is so wrong
Im Mr. Right
You seem like the type
To love em and leave em
And disappear right after this song.
So give me the night
To show you, hold you
Dont leave me out here dancin alone
You cant make up your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
Please dont waste my time, time, time, time, time
Im not tryin to rewind, wind, wind, wind, wind
I wish our hearts could come together as one
Cause shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
(Justin)
Let me show you what your missin
Paradise
With me youre winning girl
You dont have to roll the dice
Tell me what youre really here for
Them other guys?
I can see right through ya
You seem like the type
To love em and leave em
And disappear right after the song.
So give me the night
To show you, hold you
Dont leave me out here dancin alone
Cant make up your mind
Please dont waste my time
Not tryin to rewind
I wish our hearts could come together as one
Cause shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
(Sean)

Eenie meenie miney moe
Catch a bad chick by her toe
If she holla (if, if, if she holla) let her go
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova

Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Cant make up your mind
Please dont waste my time
Not tryin to rewind
I wish our hearts could come together as one

我搜尋到台灣童謠關於點兵點將的文章，兒童遊戲前的抉擇歌:
點仔點水缸，啥人放屁爛腳倉。
點仔點茶古，啥啥人今晚欲娶。(兒童嬉戲互相戲謔)
點軍點紛紛，啥人食飽去做軍，
點賊點乏乏，啥人食飽去做賊。(適合官兵捉強盜遊戲)
點指兵兵，點着誰人做大兵，
點指賊賊，點着誰人做大賊。(國語版)
