Today's Flashback Friday is all about videos of my childhood. Specifically Wee-Sing. My sisters (and Danielle) and I loved Wee-Sing. They are these great stories all about friendship, laughter, good values and of course, lots of singing. Here are some of my favorite clips.
This one is for Shiri. Fast forward to 8:25 to see Mark and Clark do a weird dance. Then go to 8:37 and watch Mark/Clark (who can really tell them apart....) so this odd jumping thing which clutching his ankles. Then enjoy Mark/Clark almost breakdance it down. Then the twins solo it up. And if you're REALLY patient, the Kool-Aid guy shows up..... Except now that I think about it, it might be a tea-pot. They sang "I'm a Little Tea-pot earlier." No, screw it, it's the Kool-Aid Guy. And if you fast-foward towards the end, suddenly little Sally is dancing on pointe. Something doesn't compute....
Oh my heavens, then I found this gem. Oh Mark and Clark, you're our favorite.
This is my FAVORITE song in Grandpa's Magical Toys. I still sing this song... and I know all the words. I just want to know who slides down rain barrels? (Yes, I KNOW it's rainbow but I always sang it as rain barrels. My way is more fun...)
And Punchinello never scared me but that Cookie Jar.... terrifying!
Sillyville is always great but there's something about this song that I just love. Maybe because it's so odd. Boom, boom, yes, it's great to be crazy.
I also really enjoyed this song... maybe because it's kind of like a House that Jack build kind of song. It's silly but you need to remember the order of everything. It takes concentration and lots of practice. My favorite bit: Grrr, arf, arf, whoooosh, rumble rumble.
And I HAD to include the Wump for Roni. You're welcome.
I loved Musical Mansion- and Alex was soooooo cute..... when I was 9. And can we say Clarinet? Oh she is hysterical! And I totally wanted to be Kelly....
Mostly because she got to sing this song.
But out of all the Wee-Sings, King Cole's Party was the best. I can still recite most parts of this. There was nothing I did not like about it. I wish the entire thing was on youtube. I guess that this will have to do. Mary and Blue totally have crushes on each other. The King is hysterical and I love how he calls his wife Peaches. Polly and Sukey are so fun and the Jester has the best costume. Jack and Jill are freaking adorable too and I love how the kitten just climbs all over the place (and all over the Queen). As I said, there is nothing I don't like about this movie. Well, except maybe Humpty-Humpty. He's a little creepy... Verbal prestidigitation!
Awesome!! I love the Wump! Also, completely agree on King Cole. So much so that I actually own it on DVD. Yes, it is that awesome. Also, what was the deal with Benji is MMM? He was weird....
ReplyDeleteThis one was only an audio tape but you guys sang the Wee Sing Around the Campfire songs for hundreds of hours in the car. We even sang rounds!!! What a lovely musical family we were...
