WATCH: Dancing Tampons Teach Kids About Periods

"Drippity drip, droppity drop, here it comes and you're on top"

They do things a little differently in Sweden.

In a song that urges girls to celebrate menstruation, a Swedish children's TV host employs four dancing tampon puppets, splattered blood and lyrics like, "Drippity drip, droppity drop, here it comes and you're on top ... Hooray for period!"

Alex Hermansson of TV channel Barnkanalen told the Local in Sweden that he created the unusual number because "I think it's just fun and cool to talk about periods."

"The more knowledge and transparency, the less of a stigma that many girls carry," he added.

While New York Magazine notes that the video will air in Sweden during a full special about menstruation, we sure wish it was around for our boring health class back in the day.

Who wouldn't pay attention to a rockin' tampon pirate?
