'I'm a Little Teapot' is an American song describing the heating and pouring of a teapot or a whistling tea kettle. The song was originally written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley and published in 1939.[1] By 1941, a Newsweek article referred to the song as 'the next inane novelty song to sweep the country'.[2]
Creation[edit]
Kelley and his wife ran a dance school for children, which taught the 'Waltz Clog', a popular and easy-to-learn tap dance routine. This routine, however, proved too difficult for the younger students to master. To solve this problem, George Sanders wrote The Teapot Song, which required minimal skill and encouraged natural pantomime. Both the song and its accompanying dance, the 'Teapot Tip', became enormously popular in America and overseas.[3]
Wma converter. 'I'm a Little Teapot' was recorded and made famous by Art Kassel and His Kassels in the Air orchestra with featured vocalist Marion Holmes singing the tune. It was published on Bluebird Records. Marion Holmes married Broadway, film, and TV star Don DeFore. Listen to songview Bluebird Record label
Dance[edit]
The song may be accompanied with actions: extending one arm in a curve like the spout, placing the other arm akimbo like the handle, and bending sideways to mimic pouring.
Lyrics[edit]
The original lyrics are as follows:[4]
Terraria mac download no steam. I'm a little teapot,
Short and stout,
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up,
Hear me shout,
Tip me over and pour me out!
I'm a very special teapot,
Yes, it's true,
Here's an example of what I can do,
I can turn my handle into a spout,
Tip me over and pour me out!

The Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP) is a facetious communication protocol for controlling, monitoring, and diagnosing coffee pots. It is specified in RFC2324, published on 1 April 1998 as an April Fools' Day RFC,[2] as part of an April Fools prank.[3] An extension, HTCPCP-TEA, was published as RFC 7168 on 1 April 2014[4] to support brewing teas, which is also an April Fools' Day RFC.
Protocol[edit]
RFC 2324 was written by Larry Masinter, who describes it as a satire, saying 'This has a serious purpose – it identifies many of the ways in which HTTP has been extended inappropriately.'[5] The wording of the protocol made it clear that it was not entirely serious; for example, it notes that 'there is a strong, dark, rich requirement for a protocol designed espressoly [sic] for the brewing of coffee'.
Despite the joking nature of its origins, or perhaps because of it, the protocol has remained as a minor presence online. The editor Emacs includes a fully functional client side implementation of it,[6] and a number of bug reports exist complaining about Mozilla's lack of support for the protocol.[7] Ten years after the publication of HTCPCP, the Web-Controlled Coffee Consortium (WC3) published a first draft of 'HTCPCP Vocabulary in RDF'[8] in parody of the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) 'HTTP Vocabulary in RDF'.[9]
On April 1, 2014, RFC 7168 extended HTCPCP to fully handle teapots.[4]
Commands and replies[edit]
HTCPCP is an extension of HTTP. HTCPCP requests are identified with the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme coffee (or the corresponding word in any other of the 29 listed languages) and contain several additions to the HTTP methods:
BREW or POST | Causes the HTCPCP server to brew coffee. Using POST for this purpose is deprecated. A new HTTP request header field 'Accept-Additions' is proposed, supporting optional additions including Cream, Whole-milk, Vanilla, Raspberry, Whisky, Aquavit, etc. |
GET | 'Retrieves' coffee from the HTCPCP server. |
PROPFIND | Returns metadata about the coffee. |
WHEN | Says 'when', causing the HTCPCP server to stop pouring milk into the coffee (if applicable). |
It also defines two error responses:
406 Not Acceptable | The HTCPCP server is unable to provide the requested addition for some reason; the response should indicate a list of available additions. The RFC observes that 'In practice, most automated coffee pots cannot currently provide additions.' |
418 I'm a teapot | The HTCPCP server is a teapot; the resulting entity body 'may be short and stout' (a reference to the song 'I'm a Little Teapot'). Demonstrations of this behaviour exist.[1][10] |
Save 418 movement[edit]
On 5 August 2017, Mark Nottingham, chairman of the IETF HTTPBIS Working Group, called for the removal of status code 418 'I'm a teapot' from the Node.js platform, a code implemented in reference to the original 418 'I'm a teapot' established in Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol.[11] On 6 August 2017, Nottingham requested that references to 418 'I'm a teapot' be removed from the programming language Go[12] and subsequently from Python's Requests[13] and ASP.NET's HttpAbstractions library[14] as well.
In response, 15-year-old developer Shane Brunswick created a website, save418.com,[15] and established the 'Save 418 Movement', asserting that references to 418 'I'm a teapot' in different projects serve as 'a reminder that the underlying processes of computers are still made by humans'. Brunswick's site went viral in the hours following its publishing, garnering thousands of upvotes on the social platform Reddit,[16] and causing the mass adoption of the '#save418' Twitter hashtag he introduced on his site. Heeding the public outcry, Node.js, Go, Python's Requests, and ASP.NET's HttpAbstractions library decided against removing 418 'I'm a teapot' from their respective projects. The unanimous support from the aforementioned projects and the general public prompted Nottingham to begin the process of having 418 marked as a reserved HTTP status code,[17] ensuring that 418 will not be replaced by an official status code for the foreseeable future.
On 5 October 2020, Python 3.9 released with an updated http library including 418 IM_A_TEAPOT status code.[18] In the corresponding pull request, the Save 418 movement was directly cited in support of adoption.[19]
