3. Eeny Meeny Miny Moe Original Meaning

Apr 18, 2017 - So what is the origin of eeny meeny miney moe? No one really seems to know for sure past everyone agreeing that it's a counting rhyme. Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe. “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe” is a popular counting rhyme and singing game. It is very hard to establish the exact origin of the song as it has so many accepted forms, in different languages and countries. In fact, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe is part of a large collection of Counting-out rhymes, used in playground games, since the early 19th century.

'Eeny Teeny Maya Moe' is the sixteenth episode of The Simpsons' twentieth season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on April 5, 2009.^[1]Moe falls in love with a woman named Maya, whom he met over the Internet. When Moe meets her in person, she turns out to be a dwarf. They remain in love, but his tactless attitude to her size eventually drives her away. Meanwhile, in an attempt to spend more time with Maggie, Homer inadvertently drops her off at a playground full of bullies.

Plot[edit]

Homer attempts to spend more time with Maggie and ends up bringing her to Moe's Tavern. Moe is cleaning up the bar for a date, and finds out he actually has a window, which was previously obscured by layers of grime. Outside the window is a playground, which Homer sees as an opportunity for watching Maggie while spending time at Moe's. Homer sends Maggie to play with the other babies outside, but they turn out to be ruthless bullies. Marge notices Maggie is uncomfortable when she returns home one day, and becomes worried that Homer is neglecting her. After watching a commercial about a surveillance camera fixed in the eye of a teddy bear, Marge purchases a spy camera which she attaches to Maggie's hair band and discovers that Maggie is bullied by a group of gangster babies. At first, Marge is surprised to see Maggie being tormented by the babies, but sees Homer, after he discovered the truth about the other babies from the playground, rush to Maggie's rescue and be beaten up by Kearney's son. Maggie jumps to Homer's rescue and Homer says that he loves both her and Marge. Moved to tears, Marge tells Homer he is a wonderful father.

Meanwhile, Moe's date, whom he met over the Internet, turns out to be a little person named Maya. Moe still loves her, but is worried about what his friends will think. Moe decides to take Maya on a double date with Marge and Homer, neither of whom seem to care that she is small. Homer, seeing Maya's intelligence and sensitivity, suggests Moe marry her. Moe proposes but cannot resist making jokes about Maya's height. Insulted, she rejects him. Crushed by grief, Moe consults the advice of Lenny and Carl, who advise him to do something risky to win Maya back. Moe decides to have surgery to become shorter, and Dr. Nick Riviera agrees to conduct the surgery. Maya stops Moe just before the surgery, as she wants someone who sees her as 'beautiful' not 'short', and who does not need to cut himself down to her size in order to love her (even though Mr. Largo the music teacher was mistakenly given Moe's surgery instead of a sex change operation to look like Julie Newmar). Moe, intent on having the surgery, does not listen to Maya, and she leaves him for good. Homer consoles a dejected Moe, stating that even though things did not go well with Maya, Moe actually found love with a woman who loved him back and that if he was successful once, he will be successful again. Moe brightens up and wonders how a small woman like Maya could make him feel so big.

Cultural references[edit]

The title is a parody of the children's rhyme, 'Eeny Meeny Miny Moe'. Kearney's son banging the three bottles together on his fingers is reference to the 1979 film The Warriors. A play on a theme from one of Philip Glass's scores is heard during the commercial about 'leaving your kids unguarded'.^{[citation needed]} Moe references people that live in trees, particularly Tarzan and The Berenstain Bears.^[2] Also, upon learning that Maya finds him attractive, Moe joyfully utters the nonsense phrase 'Oh, frabjulous day, calloo callay!' which is a reference to a similar line in the Lewis Carroll poem 'Jabberwocky'. When Moe turns on the television in Maya's house, it is showing a scene from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory featuring the Oompa Loompas singing. Maya tells Moe that the photo of herself she shared with Moe over the internet was taken at Legoland. When Moe meets Maya in person he tears down an advertisement for dwarf tossing and throws out a copy of Little Women. Shortly afterwards, he asks Maya 'So, have you always been this size, or is this, like, a Benjamin Button deal?'. Moe states that he is a snake handler, which was previously mentioned in the 1992 episode 'Homer the Heretic'.

Reception[edit]

Since airing, the episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. Robert Canning, a reviewer of IGN.com gave the episode a 7.6/10 and said when Homer consoled Moe about getting broken up with, it was 'a sweet way to end this enjoyable episode'.^[2] Erich Asperschlager of TV Verdict wrote: 'Spending too much time away from the family has always been tricky for The Simpsons. Letting minor characters shine can be fun, but let’s face it: people tune in to watch the Simpsons, not the Szyslaks, or the Flanderses, or the Leonard-Carlsons. Then again, spending too much time with the family can be exhausting. This week, The Simpsons hit a nice middle ground, spending most of the episode on Moe’s short-lived relationship but backing it up with a Homer-Maggie-Marge B-plot. Neither story soared to great heights, but 'Eeny Teeny Maya Moe' was a solid entry in a (thus far) solid season.'^[3]Hank Azaria was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for his role as Moe Szyslak in this episode,^[4] but lost to fellow Simpsons cast member Dan Castellaneta for 'Father Knows Worst'.^[5] John Frink has been nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award in the Animation category in 2010 for writing the episode. The Simpsons was the only show to be nominated in the category, with the other nominated episodes being 'The Burns and the Bees', 'Take My Life, Please', 'Gone Maggie Gone' and 'Wedding for Disaster'.^[6] The last one was the winner.^[7]

Critical reception[edit]

Kyle Anderson of MTV said that 'Eenie Meenie' melds Sean Kingston's island-inflected dance-pop with Bieber's sweet tween R&B.'^[4] A reviewer of DJBooth said, 'The record’s crown jewel, of course, is the chorus, which will worm its way into your head whether you like it or not.'^[7] Although he called the song catchy, Chris Richards of The Washington Post said Kingston 'hogs the mike' on the song.^[8] Rudy Klapper of Sputnikmusic wrote about the lyrics, on the album review, that those are 'disturbing', but at the same time 'unintentionally hilarious.' She also criticized the production: 'There's not much to say about the kind of producer who thinks the use of the term 'shorty' with an elementary school gimmick is a good idea.'^[9] Luke O'Neil from The Boston Globe noted 'Sultry reggaeton is repackaged here for the tween set with Sean Kingston's 'Eenie Meenie.' 'Shorty' was never sung so literally.'^[10]

The music video was filmed on March 30, 2010, in Beverly Hills, California,^[27] and was directed by Ray Kay, director of Bieber's 'Baby' video.^[28] On the topic of choosing the lead girl, Kingston told MTV News, 'I picked the main girl, basically, because Justin is 16 and I'm 20 years old, so it had to be a girl that fit the both of us, because in the video and song, she's trying to play the both of us. So there had to be a contrast. She fit it perfectly.'^[29] Additionally, Kingston explained the plot of the video to Rap-Up, commenting, 'The video is basically about this girl trying to play both of us and at the end.. Little busters episode 1 english dubbed. we end up both at the same place at one time, and she's left with a stupid look on her face.'^[30] Appearances are made by Bieber's friend, Christian Beadles, as well as rapper Lil Romeo and singer/actress Jasmine Villegas, whose appearance further fuelled media speculation Villegas and Bieber were romantically involved after a previous appearance in his music video for 'Baby'.^[29][31] Jocelyn Vena of MTV News reviewed the video, 'Here's the play-by-play: While Kingston and the lady in question are flirting out on the deck, Bieber is chilling inside. But, wait — there she is flirting with Bieber while Kingston is hanging out, wondering where she went. The fickle girl eventually leaves Bieber to chill with Kingston, and then — boom — there she is with Bieber again. And, well, you get it. Of course, the 'eenie-meenie-miny-moe lover' eventually gets caught. While she's chatting up Kingston, along comes Bieber, and her game is blown. The dudes are cool with it. Well, they're not cool with her playing them, but they seem to remain friends despite both going for the same girl.'^[32] As of August 2018 the music video on YouTube has 292 million views.
