Weekend Music: Children’s Hour Edition
The plan, at the moment, is to stay up to watch the Olympic men’s road race (cycling), which runs well past 3am EDT. So given 1) the events of the day, and 2) that I’ll have the time, later, I think I’ll make this a double header. The first edition will start off with actual children’s songs, from different generations. The second edition? More about children than for them.
The first comes from the Animaniacs, and fits well with the Olympic theme I seem to have, today:
The next comes from a special Sesame Street effort by Fiest:
And finally, a song/video that I will always hold near and dear - Rupert and the Frog Song:

Oh, by the way, the Animaniacs one has been making regular appearances at our house; the kid is now fascinated with geography, of all things (Whereas his parents? Not so enamored). He’ll ask to to hear this, TMBG’s Alphabet of Nations (which has Iran as it’s “I” so, okay, bonus) and Ray Charles’ Fifty Nifty States for HOURS on end. If you know of any others in the same vein, *please* let me know. There is only so much repetition we can take.

Oh, geography is very cool. That draw a map of the US trick that Al Franken does? I was nailing that at 10 :) (My world map from memory is a little sloppier - central asian republics are a bit muddled, and I’d rarely get the central African states labeled right).
The Animaniacs also did a US states and capitals one.
