To quote Star Trek VI the undiscovered country;
You’ve never experienced Gangnam Style until you’ve heard it as the centrepiece of a village pantomime which ends with the dame doing a burlesque show.

We had amazement from the 6 year old that we knew all the dance moves to a song that was almost 50 years old.
I had to explain that some dance moves are passed on generation to generation.
Plus, in this case, there’s a helpful reminder hiding within the song.

Two Explanations;
-
The dance we know has evolved over time as a social concept.
-
The dance existed in 1978, but the Village people were too tired to perform it, having spent the previous evening filling in the relevant paperwork to be accepted as officers in the navy.

According to cursory research, the dance routine was first performed January 6, 1979.

To my 5 year old when picking up the laundry: "What happened here? Did you have an accident?’
My 5 year old: “It was E” (my 9 yo)
Me: “E came and pooped in your knickers?”
E and I look at each other and burst into laughter.

“Wee” sounds a bit like they are on a rollercoaster ride to my ears… 
“UIiiiiiiiii” I hope that is not what happened.

It is a nice colloquial way to refer to urine. Specially if repeated.
Also anything small or short. So watch out for the context.

So a wee wee wee wee can be either be a small exclamation whilst peeing, or a little homeward-bound pig.

Classic school bus trip song:
“Stop the bus, ah need a wee wee,
Stop the bus, ah need a wee wee,
Stop the bus, ah need a wee wee,
A wee wee cup of tea”
