Need A Silly Song To Learn And Sing For 30 Days...

[The Albatross]

One of the goals I made is to learn and sing a silly song... and sing it for 30 days in the morning or on my way to work.

I got the idea and it made me smile, when I was writing a list of 100 things that were my happiest experiences. One of the items I listed was floating down a river in an inner tube, during a rain storm singing, "Rain Drops Keep Falling (On My Head)" to my husband quite loudly, while most everyone else was running for cover. Well we were already wet, so I didn't see much point.

Any how, I'm taking suggestions for a silly song to learn and am wanting to see what happens (how I feel) after I sing it for 30 days. Don't Worry Be Happy, the Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy song come to mind but there are doubtless others and if anyone has any suggestions or wants to try this with me... come on along.

 

[Red Feather]

Oh yes...! I have lots of silly songs!!! Yuhuuu. This will be fun.

 

[The Albatross]

Peter Paul & Mary's Talking Candy Bar Blues?

Monty Python's The Galaxy Song?

My husband voted for "Sit On My Face (and tell me that you love me)" :unsure: I said no, but he could learn that one word for word if he wanted to and sing it too. (grin)

 

[The Albatross]

Heh, If I want to learn a foreign language... I could learn Yatta. The translation is pretty silly and I think the men in fig leaf underpants are hilarious. :cry:

 

[Red Feather]

Me and my kids sing this one all the time. It is great because you can make up the rhymes at the end of the verse... like... "Did you ever see a mouse, carrying a house." or "Did you ever see a bear, combing his hair" etc etc. It's also great to sing with other people, than one person can lead, and the others repeat, until the last phrase.

Down by the bay

Down by the bay (Down by the bay)
Where the watermelons grow (Where the watermelons grow)
Back to my home (Back to my home)
I dare not go (I dare not go)
For if I do (For if I do)
My mother will say (My mother will say)
"Did you ever see a moose (all together)
Kissing a goose
Down by the bay?"

I've got loads of songs. Like "Father Abraham" but you would have to be willing to do all the hand movements too. LOL! And then of course, "The green grass grew all around all around." Or "There's a whole in my bucket" I love that one... Or "There was an old woman who swallowed a fly." I've got loads more... :laugh: Maybe you'd like to do a new song everyday?:p

 

[JustBe]

Monty Python's " Always Look on the Bright Side Of Life"!

 

[The Albatross]

I don't know. I just uploaded Yatta to media, and am going to add another one or two as I find them. Hey Nadia, another one of my goals is to learn to say "I love you" in ten different languages. Bet you could write a song about that? ;)

 

[The Albatross]

Good one too Movin' On. My husband thinks I'm a nutter, because I already know all of the entire rendition of Alice's Restaurant. But I figured I needed to forge ahead to new and different territory.

Nadia's in, Movin' are you gonna sign on? I got a week or two to learn it then I want to start October 1st. Maybe it should be a Halloween song?

 

[Red Feather]

Me and my kids love to sing to Les Miserables. Not all of them are silly, but "Master of the House" is very silly. Makes me miss them thinking about it!

 

[JustBe]

You bet! I'm in!
Here's a link I found (just for fun!)


Sorry! I didn't know what hot linking was! I'll put it in media! ;)

 

[The Albatross]

Upload it to media Movin' On... we can't hot link. But I like that one. Right then, 30 Days for you too then. Great.

Here's my song... in English. Maybe I can get my husband to wear his tidy whities with a fig leaf and dance like that for me, eh? ;) This came from a Japanese skit on a televison show I think:

Just thinking, up until a week ago (hmmm, that's when I joined this forum) I hadn't listened to music or hummed a tune in months. Now to think I'm here! WOW!

So do we all sing the same song or each sing our own?:wacky:
