No

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! My friend, Tracy, who introduced me to this song says this is every parents song.  She is SO right!  I love this and I still remember the toddler years well enough to remember this particular phase!  :) 

They Might Be Giants are so kooky.  They always have been.  I mean whoever names themselves what they did indicates they are kooky!  They make me laugh.  I see absolutely no purpose in this song and I think that is what makes it so fun and likable!  It's just good for a laugh!  Happy Tuesday everyone!

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
