Day 27: Your favorite children’s song

Kermit singing the Rainbow Connection. (Later found that Me First and the Gimmes Gimmes did a killer punk rock version)

Sang this to both of my kids at bedtime, along with Big Rock Candy Mountain, a bunch of Ramones songs, DB Cooper by Todd Snider.

Great memories of (maybe) simpler times?

 
Day 27: Your favorite children's song

This song was my alarm to get out to the bus when I was a kid.
And the closing was cool also when I got to watch it when I was home sick.
Too bad the cartoon didn't go long.

 
Day 27: Your Favorite Children’s Song

Some fifty years ago, when I was finally old enough to use the turntable on my parents console hi-fi, there weren’t many options in their record collection for a 5 year old. But there was one song on an Irish Rovers album that I would listen to over and over again. Fast forward to my early twenties and friends took my then gf and I to an Irish pub to see a regular performer there, and he did THAT song. As a participation song. With arm/hand gestures. To a room full of drunks. And it was awesome. Fast forward a few more years, and I’m singing/acting out the song to my own kids. And it was always awesome.

I give you Shel Silverstein’s ‘The Unicorn’ 🦄 performed by my favorite Seamus Kennedy. Go ahead. Try to keep up with the arm gestures.
