(not Mother Goose but implies weirdness… fromoldbooks.org)
While researching some possible music to use at baby story time (it’s a dirty job but …), I stumbled across this oddness.
Mother Goose Rocks, Volume 3
Great googly moogley! They made 5 volumes of this?! I feel ill.
You really should take a listen yourself. They have taken popular hit pop songs and changed the lyrics to match nursery rhymes. For example, a Maddonna-ish singer doing “Wheels on the Bus” to the tune of “Ray of Light.” Oh, the pain, the pain…(channel your inner Dr. Smith).
As a prime example, I give you the remake of a Gwen Stefani song that makes me cringe (and do we really want a reference of “around the bush” in a Stefani song for kids ;-) I’m guessing this is to appeal to the parents of the little pikers. Someone, say, Brittany’s age…or her sister, perhaps?
I do have to admit that this video spoof of U2 doing “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” did make me laugh. Enjoy!
O. M. G.
If this isn’t one of the signs of a coming apocalypse, I don’t know what is … plagues, locusts, floods, and Mother Goose Rocks. I’m sure it’s in the Bible somewhere.
What’s next, Nursery Rhyme Rap?
If no one’s done it yet, I’m claiming the copyright here and now.
