In Popular Culture
In the British sci-fi/comedy TV series Red Dwarf, the character Dave Lister uses a sci-fi inspired version to determine which version of the hologrammatic Arnold Rimmer should be deleted when the two cannot get along. The version of Rimmer who was determined to be deleted quipped "I've been Ippy Dippy'd to death!" This version is as follows: Ippy Dippy / My space shippy / On a course so true / Past Neptune and Pluto's moon / The one I choose is you
The British comedy troupe Monty Python's Flying Circus employs a version in the sketch "Ypres 1914", where the "Major" character attempts to count-out the platoon member who must choose suicide. It runs: "Dip, dip, dip / my little ship / sails on the ocean / you are it".
