I'm surpirsed no one has mentioned the old Loony Toons episodes where they adapted classical music; the adaptation of "Ride of the Valkyries" (KILL THE WABBIT! KILL THE WABBIT!) sticks with me to this day. Their Peter & The Wolf is good, as well, but that's a song that's sort of impossible to muck up.

I had a Peter & The Wolf record I liked to play when I was a child, leafing through the illustrated story page pictures that came as part of the jacket. I always felt sad for the duck when the wolf swallowed her down! :( Sergei Prokofiev - "Peter and The Wolf" - "The Duck" * * * * * The song I'll share below isn't really intended for children, but I remember loving it when I was a child and still do. My mom was learning to play guitar and sometimes played at folksy social gatherings with sing-alongs I enjoyed. She was in this cool '70s fashion phase during which she wore wide collars, colorful pantsuits, and short dresses with wild prints. I liked those years. :) Cat Stevens (Yusuf) - "Morning Has Broken" with a German intro! I especially like the strength and gusto of the piano entrance. |
I can't believe I haven't posted more Sesame Street songs!
My favorite Sesame Street song is "The Rainbow Connection." I loved this song when I was a child and would happily sing or hum it for myself at random, quiet times during the day. :) Kermit the Frog on Sesame Street - "The Rainbow Connection" Kermit :love: sings a lovely, contemplative song...covered later by Karen Carpenter. I like the song above so much that I looked up the lyrics, available at a U.S. government website: :) Quote:
Sesame Street - "Don't Be A Bully" (Advice that would make the world a much better place, if all people followed it.) ...which is a cover of this famous song: Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs - "Wooly Bully" I didn't realize they dressed up in fake pharaoh garb! :) |
I watched "The Year Without a Santa Claus" (1974) yesterday, which made me remember how much I liked these two songs when I was a child:
"Blue Christmas" Sniff. :( *** The Heat Miser song!! |
