On Da Bridge is Falling Down
Adults and children often mangle song lyrics and map them to something else they are familiar with. The results with children can be funny. Currently Sven is singing "On Da Bridge is Falling Down" which ends with "my favorite Lady." He also adjusted the lyrics to Baby Beluga by singing "Heaven a bug ..." instead of "Heaven above..."
After visiting Avignon last Spring, we taught him "Sur le pont d'Avignon." However, he doesn't understand any of the lyrics, so he made up a nonsense ending to match what he believes is a song of nonsense lyrics. So the ending has changed from "tout en rond" to "bada romp". Then he laughs out loud at his silly self.

Sven is very interested in one person "saving" another person. That is, protecting them from harm, as in "Save me, save me!" Sven wants to be saved and wants to save others. For example, he wanted Daddy Volcano (me) to save all of the little volcanoes. I'm not sure who qualifies as a little volcano.
