Pippi Longstocking theme song lyric poll

"...is coming into your world" only because it was the part that always got stuck in my head back when this show was incessantly advertised. Curiously, though, I never saw the show itself (though I quite like the original novel).

A freckle-faced redhaired girl, you oughta know

The secret origin of Alanis Morissette

Watched the 60s stuff endless amount of times and never knew this movie existed until this thread. Looks weird!

I also rejected the theme song rendition directly above my post. This is the one I know:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippi_Longstocking#Name

In French Fifi Brindacier
In Japanese 長くつ下のピッピ Nagakutsushita no Pippi

Count me in the never heard / of this

they made us watch the New Adventures in 9th grade and we all liked it so this song was seared into my brain for years

err...5th grade.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Never heard the OP version. I know the Dutch version & some issue about the lyrics that was in the news a few years ago, which I just looked up: so it is a translation of the German version, which rewrote the original Swedish song linked to upthread. This version changed the lyrics to new lyrics that the Astrid Lindgren heirs did not approve of, so after some juridical hassle they ruled in 2021 that the German and Dutch versions had to be changed for any subsequent airings.

Original contested lyrics:
'3 maal 3 is 6
Wiedewiede - wie wil van mij leren?
4 min 5 is 2
Diedeldiedel - doe eens met me mee

Hai, Pippi Langkous
Todderie-todderei-todde-hopsasa
Hai, Pippi Langkous
Die doet haar eigen zin'

Roughly translates as:
'3 times 3 is 6
Whodeewhodee who wants to learn from me?
4 minus 5 is 2
Dodeedodee do it along with me

Hi, Pippi Longstocking
Todderie-todderei-todde-hopsasa
Hi, Pippi Longstocking
She goes her own way'

These lyrics were changed to 'Here comes Pippi Longstocking, because that is my name' and 'Here comes mister Nilsson, because that is his name'.

The controversy!!!

The latter ones seem closer to the Swedish original, so would assume they'd be the standard.

Never heard that song before, but it is definitely a banger.

Certainly better than what I was expecting to find in this thread:

Like cryptosicko, only know one line of this song because of the ad. My childhood brain filled in the gaps with another song:

Pippi Longstocking coming into your world
Keep it down now
Voices carry
