General Childhood Nostalgia: Favorite Children's Tapes and Songs

[דבי מ.]

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

And eyes and ears and mouth and nose

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

Old MacDonald had a farm
Ee i ee i oh
And on that farm he had some chickens
Ee i ee i oh
With a cluck-cluck here
And a cluck-cluck there

Here a cluck, there a cluck
Everywhere a cluck-cluck
Old MacDonald had a farm
Ee i ee i oh

Old MacDonald had a farm
Ee i ee i oh
And on that farm he had some dogs
Ee i ee i oh!

With a woof-woof here
And a woof-woof-woof there
Here a woof, there a woof,
Everywhere a woof-woof
Old MacDonald had a farm
Ee i ee i oh!

Old MacDonald had a farm
Ee i ee i oh!
And on that farm he had some turkeys
Ee i ee i oh!

With a gobble-gobble gobble-gobble here
And a gobble-gobble gobble-gobble there
Here a gobble-gobble, there a gobble-gobble,
Everywhere a gobble-gobble-gobble
Old MacDonald had a farm
Ee i ee i oh

Old MacDonald had a farm,
Ee i ee i oh
And on that farm he had some cows,
Ee i ee i oh
With a moo-moo here
And a moo-moo there
Here a moo, there a moo
Everywhere a moo-ooo
Old MacDonald had a farm
Ee i ee i oh!

Off the record #1 and #2.

thanks for mentioning it!
never listened to it before, and today it was playing during supper and bedtime. I enjoyed it immensely!

 

[החיים טובים]

So I'm probably around 2 years older than you.

!Hey guy's,
Respect, there are older ppl around here

 

[במילים_אחרות]

Another classic is big Gedaliah Goomber.
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday,
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday.
Double, double, triple pay,
Won’t make me work on Saturday,
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday,
It’s S

My husband's favorite! Finally I'll know all the words

 

[אם הבנים שמחה!]

My husband's favorite! Finally I'll know all the words

There are more words:

I’m big Gedalia Goomber
I’m not exactly small
But really not so very big
Just seventeen feet tall…
I’m rigged for heavy working
For that I’m very fit
Six days a week I’m at it
And on the seventh day I quit.
Ohhhh….

CHORUS:
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Double, double, triple pay
Won’t make me work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday…
It’s Shabbos Kodesh.

I once helped raise a building
And on the hundredth floor
I was carrying a load of bricks
An easy ton or more…
And here, it’s late on Friday
I knew I’d have to stop
So I yelled, “Watch out below!”
And let the whole thing drop.
Ohhhhh….

CHORUS:
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Double, double, triple pay
Won’t make me work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday…
It’s Shabbos Kodesh.

I once was an explorer
To Africa I went
One day some hungry lions
Came roaring ’round our tent
My assistant held my rifle
“Go Goomber, shoot these pests.”
But I invited them instead
To be our Shabbos guests.
Ohhhh….

CHORUS:
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Double, double, triple pay
Won’t make me work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday…
It’s shabbos kodesh.

I dress my best on Shabbos
Three meals I feast me fine
I make a royal Kiddush
On a barrel full of wine…
And when I sing my Zemiros
For a thousand miles they know
That we’re enjoying Shabbos
For Hashem has told us so.
Soooo…

CHORUS:
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Double, double, triple pay
Won’t make me work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday…
It’s Shabbos Kodesh.

I guess I'm even older!
What you wrote isn't the original, I think. That is when he appeared on Uncle Moishy.
Before that he put out a record (!) just of his.
I actually remember we used to listen to it only on Fridays in Pre-1A in school.
I really loved it.

If anyone in Y-m has the BY Times Little Sisters, my daughter is looking to read some of the series that is missing from our local English book gemach.
Thanks

I only heard of Big Gedalia Goomber when he appeared on Uncle Moishy. I don't know if you're older than me or if I just never came across his original record in my childhood.

This is a recording from 1969 of the Big Gedaliah Goomber song.
Written by Yosaif Silverman, sung by Abraham Weisman and the Clei Zimrah Orchestra.

 

[ליאורה ז.]

The Golden Crown
Middos Machine-Shnooky!!
Uncle Moishy-I have a mezuzah....and more
the song-And Zeidy made us laugh, and Zeidy made us sing...

.Hey, I didn't know there were other people who knew this tape

p.s
I forgot my mother tongue
I do not know how to write in English
Forgive me if I have spelling mistakes

It's from Kivi and Tuki.

It's from Kivi and Tuki.

recently I put on some Kivi and Tuki tapes for my kids.
.Honestly, I don't know how our parents let us hear it...
I don't turn it on any more, of course

 

[אם הבנים שמחה!]

Totally agree. I would not let my kids listen to those tapes. I remember even as a child thinking they weren't so kosher.

 

[אם הבנים שמחה!]

Thanks! I really enjoyed that one!

Yes, that was on my list. We had a few of them. My husband just mentioned that he wants to try to get them for our kids since the English is very simple so maybe they'll actually learn a word or two from it.

My mother just bought it on CD (the voices waver like an old cassette )
so it shouldn't be too hard to find

WHO HAS THE SONG OF ALWAYS LATE AND THE WORDS TO PRINT

 

[לא מוגדרת]

For those of us who grew up listening to English children's tapes, let's have a trip down memory lane and share our nostalgia.
What was your favorite tape?
Which song did you love hearing again and again?
Which song do you find yourself still singing today?

Willoughby walliby wee
Come along and sing with me!

WOW I USED TO LOOOVE THE ENGLISH SONGS
