Song Review: Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes

Yesterday, I was walking by a bar (The Ivory Room in Madison) and I heard a substantial quantity of full-ass-grown adults singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes."

First of all, I don't know why, and didn't go find out, because I was really cold.

Second of all, I figured out why this song bothers me. Here's why: the notes go in the wrong order. The body parts go as follows:

Head (highest)
Shoulders (second highest)
Knees (third highest)
Toes (lowest).

However, the notes go as follows:

Head (second highest)
Shoulders (begins on the highest note)
Knees (begins on the third highest note)
Toes (begins on the lowest note)

Clearly, the notes for "head" and "shoulders" need to be reversed. Otherwise, it's really confusing as a way of benchmarking where the body parts are. If I were learning the body parts from this song, I would probably get them wrong all the time and always conflate heads and shoulders.
