Pizza pizza daddy-o

The films were made in the Anthropology Department of San Fernando Valley State College (now California State University at Northridge). Edmund Carpenter founded the department with the intention of moving anthropology beyond the book. He felt that the realities and insights of anthropology were often better represented in the arts than in scholarly texts and between 1957 and 1967 he led a flourishing and experimental department. In addition to cultural anthropologists, physical anthropologists and linguists, his faculty included folklorist Bess Lomax Hawes along with artists, musicians, animators and filmmakers.

  • "Provides an anthropological and folkloric record of eight singing games played by fourth-grade Afro-American girls on the playground of a school in a Los Angeles ghetto: My boyfriend gave me a box; This-a-way Valerie; When I was a baby; Imbileenie; This-a-way Batman; Mighty, mighty devil; My mother died; and Pizza pizza daddy-o. Though performed in carefree, communal play, they touch on the weighty issues of birth, death, illness and the pains of growing up."@en

All action is undirected; the organization of the games is entirely the work of the children themselves, based on the essential structure and characteristics handed down from one generation of school children to the next. The primary game form, the ring, is demonstrated. The other principle play form, parallel lines of players facing each other, is also shown. The major stylistic feature is call and response; almost every phrase is echoed both in singing and movement patterns. Study guide including texts of the sons is available.

  • "Pizza Pizza Daddy-O looks at continuity and change in girls' playground games at a Los Angeles school. The footage included in this film was taken in December of 1967 on the playground of a school in a Los Angeles black ghetto. The players are a dozen fourth-grade girls (9 to 10 years old). The repertoire of games played by African-American children at this time was highly stable across the country and highly dynamic; new games (usually re-workings or parodies of older ones) appear and disappear, but their essential structure and stylistic characteristics continue to be handed on from one generation of school children to the next."@en
