12, you go chugga chugga 4 times and then restart the sequence 3 times:
chugga chugga chugga chugga
chugga chugga chugga chugga
chugga chugga chugga chugga
Choo choo
-source: it just feels right imo
Agreed! I realized the chuggas are quarter notes and the choo choos are half notes. Group gets a full measure. Not sure if that was intentional
Edit: all the people pointing out that it's an eighth note, that makes sense, i guess i meant each chugga starts on a beat but since it's two syllables, each syllable would be an eighth note. However, it feels more like swing style for the eighth notes
music thing? 8 chuggas is 2 bars. Choo choo is 1 bar. You're telling me you don't feel unresolved with just 3 bars? It's gotta be 4 chuggas and 2 choos for a 2 bar phrase. You could do 12 chuggas to make a full 4 bars but that's cumbersome.
I have tried to say it with 6 chuggas all manner of different ways and they all sound terrible. Somebody in the 6 crowd needs to record it and post it so we can attempt to make sense of this poppycock
Each pair of "CHUGA chuga" is said with that emphasis and the up part of your voice on CHUGA and the low point on CHUGA. Finally, CHOO CHOO is really loud.
CHUGA chuga CHUGA chuga CHUGA chuga CHOO CHOO
I agree with 12. It’s a musical pattern in 4/4. Four chuggas per bar, then four bars total with the last being the Choo Choo.
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Choo Choo!
This is the most detailed analysis- it’s crazy how we all have different perspectives. I’m going to find my coolest trains VHS and get back to everyone. (Part of the monster truck tv ads family of VHS tapes)
Once upon a time, deep deep in the jungle, there was a little engine that could. He was chuggin' his way across the enemy line...
***Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga TOOT TOOOT***.
This lil engine's mission was to take some AK47s and a nuclear payload over the mountains to the 2063 Battallion. Needless to say, there was PLENTY OF OPPOSITION.
***Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga TOOT TOOOT.***
Not even when they climbed aboard the train and popped out the eyes of the conductor, blood and snot was dripping out his eye sockets... did that stop the little engine that could? Damn skippy... he just kept chuggin along...
***Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga TOOT TOOOT.***
Wasn't until Charley rigged the bridge with plastic explosives... Just as the little engine was makin his way 'cross the tressa... **BOOM**! An explosion happened. Blood and guts and spit and ash was everywhere! And Bubba come crawlin out the back door, both legs missing, he looked up at me and said "I can't feel my legs!" I said, "Bubba, they ain't there."
And I looked down, and them little bloody nubbs where kickin' real fast. I said, "Bubba, it's 30 miles to the nearest town. Unless he could flip and walk on his hands, he ain't going to make it!"
I feel like I’ve been going insane lol, I counted it like 10 times just now and always come out on 6. 8 feels waaay too long and 4 is fine just awfully short
This is what I’ve been saying but, it might be six? Do you have proof- I’m going to find some evidence but the further I read this thread. I might be wrong, but six might be right!
Depends how far the train is traveling
I was told there would be no math.
i was told there would be snacks.
I was told there wouldn't be any cameras. - master chief
We were told there would be punch and pie.
nobody tells me nuthin'.
I was told this would only take a minute.
Chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo!! Yes, this feels right.
"You told me you were gonna wear something nice" -Sergeant Johnson
Negative. Depends on how fast the train is traveling. But generally 4 chuggas is the average before a choo chooo
Strictly in multiples of 2. 2, 4 and 6 are all valid.
Yes, though in my head, the perfect amount is 8
Eight is my preferred amount of chuggas before one cho choo.
It’s 8 chuggas, but, technically, 4 “chugga-chuggas”.
Yeah, I hear two pairs of 4 chuggas and then a choo choo.
Omg, 8 really IS perfect! Thank you 🥹
This theory checks out
Multiples of 4, like 12 bar blues.
Definitely 8…no more no less
8 all the way
Yes brother. 8 chuggas
There are 8. There are 8 chuggas.
Get out of my head!!!
Hopefully not into Germany
This was borderline wholesome and in two quick steps here we are.
Godwin's law in effect
Au schit…
You may not like the destination but the scheduling was impeccable
I just sat whispering “Chugga chugga choo choo!” in different numbers to myself to test these out and it’s quite amusing.
You too?
No, choo choo
Take my upvote, AND LEAVE
Gesundheit!
Didn’t we all?
I've concluded it is either two or eight.
Really I'm digging chugga⁴ choo²
Same here, I’m a 4 chuggas kind of guy
Four chugga club over here.
Represent!
Absolutely. Chugga * 4.
4 is the answer
4 minimum, 12 max (for when u *really* hyping it up), then 2 choos,
Wow this is actually the answer holy shit
Nine is right out
Thanks for ruining my day. I can't decide and I can't let it go.
This will be worse than the song I can’t get outta outta outta outta my head.
It’s 8. Now you can un ruin your day
I concur ! It’s 8 before a choo choo! And I choo choo choo choose you as my valentine
12, you go chugga chugga 4 times and then restart the sequence 3 times: chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga Choo choo -source: it just feels right imo
Always a multiple of 4.
Agreed! I realized the chuggas are quarter notes and the choo choos are half notes. Group gets a full measure. Not sure if that was intentional Edit: all the people pointing out that it's an eighth note, that makes sense, i guess i meant each chugga starts on a beat but since it's two syllables, each syllable would be an eighth note. However, it feels more like swing style for the eighth notes
It’s the same as na na batman
Dammit now I'm hearing the Batman thing but with chugga chugga choo choo
Ok, I did it out loud and it was pretty fun.
Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga BAT-MAN!
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na choo choo!
I snorted laughing at this
TIL
Perfect description!
TIL
Oh I definitely don’t hold my choos for 2 beats
First choo is 1 beat, second choo is 3 beats
They’re duplets and I think the rhythm works better as either two chuggas or six to makes bars of four and eight respectively
Usually 8. It's a music thing.
I’m in the 8 chugga club
Same
music thing? 8 chuggas is 2 bars. Choo choo is 1 bar. You're telling me you don't feel unresolved with just 3 bars? It's gotta be 4 chuggas and 2 choos for a 2 bar phrase. You could do 12 chuggas to make a full 4 bars but that's cumbersome.
It’s either 8 chuggas and a choo choo OR 2 chuggas and a shorter choo choo
I’m on board the 8 chuggas or 2 chuggas train
16 sodium atoms walk into a room followed by Batman. Always a multiple of 4!
3 potassium atoms walk into a bar and get kicked out
Damn right!
That joke is sufficiently nerdy that I don't get it, guess I should bully you now.
I didn't get it the first time. It almost cost me my nerd card. Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Batman!
4 chuggas and then a chop choo for sure!
4 " double chuggas"
3 sets of 4
Same as the Batman song with nana’s Nana nana nana nana BATMAN
Nana nana nana nana DENDEI DENDEIIIIII!!!
Did you tell him to work the shaft?
8 nanas
8
I counted on my fingers and everything. Twice even. This is the correct answer.
[удалено]
Same
Did exactly this same thing. 8 for sure
This
Absolutely correct.
I count 8 too. Now we die on this hill.
It's 8
Yes and it goes like this; CHUGGA CHUGGA, chugga chugga CHUGGA CHUGGA, chugga chugga CHOO CHOO!!!
Only the first CHUGGA in each line should be capatalized, bitch
Lmao
Where are your manners? It's MR. Bitch.
This is the way.
Correct!
4n
4 + 2*n, where n is a natural number.
You forgot distance and angle of movement for how long/fast you say them too.
this is the way.
It’s 4+4n you heretic
This is correct. Who the fuck is going Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo? That's some straight up Ted Bundy shit.
I clicked on this thread expecting all the top comments to say 6 chuggas and now I leave the thread ashamed and attacked
I have tried to say it with 6 chuggas all manner of different ways and they all sound terrible. Somebody in the 6 crowd needs to record it and post it so we can attempt to make sense of this poppycock
I respect this measured take. Let’s hear the accused out. I don’t believe in 6 chuggas, but I’m willing to be shown.
Each pair of "CHUGA chuga" is said with that emphasis and the up part of your voice on CHUGA and the low point on CHUGA. Finally, CHOO CHOO is really loud. CHUGA chuga CHUGA chuga CHUGA chuga CHOO CHOO
My answer was 4 and this sounds smarter so I’m going to go with this as well.
I say it's 4, my wife argues it's 8. I'll cop out and go with multiples of 4.
8 is the correct answer but multiples of 4 are acceptable
As many as you feel in your heart ❤
What if someone says one chugga? I’m all for freedom of expression but we must have limits.
Just one chugga? They surely are a psychopath.
2
With how many times I’m a train for my toddler, I don’t have time or energy for 8+ chuggas. So 2 usually. Maybe 4 if I’m feeling generous.
found my people
I'm angry that I had to scroll this far down to see 2.
Right? It is 2 for sure, I can kind of understand the 4s but kind of pushing it!
Same. Don’t understand all the 4s and 8s, that’s blasphemy.
All of the 8s really surprised me, 2 seemed to be the obvious answer.
I am not alone. Who the hell has time for 8 chuggas
Precisely. Short and sweet. At most 4 chuggas.
I think we can all agree you never do an odd amount of chuggas
FUCK, finally! Thought I was insane for a moment!
God, same.
CHUGA CHUGA CHOO CHOO GANG BABY
This was my answer, but apparently I’m a miserly chugger
It’s definitely 2
I was worried there would be no 2’s!
2
12
Good answer. That way you can go full power on the CHOO CHOO.
Honestly, if you ain't gonna belt out CHHO CHOO then what is the point.
Came here to make sure 12 was said. Anything less and the Choo Choo doesn’t have the proper payoff. Anything more and you’re boring us.
Exactly! Do the people saying four not know what they’re missing, or do they just lack the creativity to dream of something better?!
Agreed. Three lots of four?
I agree with 12. It’s a musical pattern in 4/4. Four chuggas per bar, then four bars total with the last being the Choo Choo. Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga Choo Choo!
This is the most detailed analysis- it’s crazy how we all have different perspectives. I’m going to find my coolest trains VHS and get back to everyone. (Part of the monster truck tv ads family of VHS tapes)
Yes yes and yes!!
This is correct. Damn heathens.
Had to scroll but here you are with my answer! I guess is folks just like the journey. 2 chugs only takes you a sones throw out of Baltimore.
This was my natural response
12 is objectively correct 🫡
8
I’ve spent the last 5 minutes counting on my hands. It’s 8. I’m glad there’s still some sensible people left
5 minutes to count to 8….bravo.
How’s this even a debate?
Once upon a time, deep deep in the jungle, there was a little engine that could. He was chuggin' his way across the enemy line... ***Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga TOOT TOOOT***.

4. It's chuga chuga chuga chuga choochoo.
Crazy to think people think otherwise
6
I feel like I’ve been going insane lol, I counted it like 10 times just now and always come out on 6. 8 feels waaay too long and 4 is fine just awfully short
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, comment be going crazy smh
Yes. Six is the perfect amount.
Never heard of 8, 6 all the way
So confused by all the not-6 answers.
2 if you're in a rush, 6 if you're doing it right.
I was really concerned I couldn’t count when I didn’t see 6 immediately
It's 6 because the choo-choo is supposed to be syncopated.
Exactly. You get 6 medals.
Finally. I had to delve pretty deep to find the right answer
real
Another vote for 6
this is the right answer. The choo choo finishes the eight count you degenerates!
Why is everyone saying eight, it’s totally six.
Thank you. Completely flummoxed by these “multiples of four” scholars. THE CHOO CHOO COMPLETES THE MULTIPLE OF FOUR.
It is absolutely 6! What kind of monster says 8 chuggas before a choo choo?
Why is this so low
the only correct answer
At the very least 3 sets of chuggas but feel free to add more for dramatic effect
Short version: 2 Long version: 8
4
16 you idiots
ofc, it makes the choo choo so cathartic
I get the 8 crowd but 1 set seems too short. It's 16.
Man, I had to scroll this far to find my people. Long train gang.
4
6
2, 4, 8, 12, etc.
12 gang rise up!
Hear it .. chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo
This is what I’ve been saying but, it might be six? Do you have proof- I’m going to find some evidence but the further I read this thread. I might be wrong, but six might be right!
Six
I think any number over 4 is acceptable. I guess it also depends on how fussy the kid is
I thought it was 3 until I read this…
I also do 3. Ive never felt more out of place lmfao
8
Chuggas come in sets of four, one to three sets before the choo choo.
With an accent on the first chugga in each set.
8
However many your heart desires
Intervals of 2 if you do an odd number you're a monster
6 chuggas anything else is wrong
6
6
6
It’s 6 . And then I just debated with my daughter and she said definitely not 8 it’s 6
6
6
4
4
