Itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini....

I think the polka dots are yellow. My English teacher looked at this sentence and says that "itsy bitsy teen weeny yellow polka" are all adjectives referring to the dots. The color of the bikini is never mentioned, so it could be any color. However, my mother says that everything is describing the bikini so therefor the bikini is yellow and the color of the dots are in question. I looked it up online. The general consensus was that since traditionally polka dots are either white or black and the song was made in the 60s, the bikini was yellow and the dots were most likely black. On the cartoon drawings of the song, the girl is always wearing a yellow bikini with black dots and is standing next to the purple people eater. So.....the bikini was yellow. :)

I think it is all about perception, I think the bikini is yellow and the dots are another colour. I don't think there is really a right and wrong here. it would be interesting to hear other view points on this though! LOL

Ya know, amongst all of the questions that I've ever managed to answer, this one has me stumped... Polka dots can be any color, but the song says "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" without clear emphasis on what's yellow or not... plus, are the polka dots "Itsy Bitsy" ? Or is it that size of the bikini, itself? Before I lose my mind trying to answer this one, I going to give you the link to some free movies and stuff: http://www.peekvid.com http://www.veoh.com and I'm going to have an "itsy bitsy" ice cold drink and think about this one for a few minutes more! LOL! :) Have a great day!
