If You Are Happy and You Know It...Climb Aboard and Show It!

[live4today]

gwenith posted a website with the banana song that I loved singing to the very end. While on that site, I sang another song that I always loved singing as a child, teenager, adult....even now.

Click on the link and sing along then share how it made you feel afterwards! We need a little joy and laughter in our lives, so be a kid and act silly and have a good time singing along and sharing your favorite childhood, teenhood, adulthood songs that make you laugh, smile, or simply feel all fuzzy in side. :kiss

I was a Girl Scout. I always loved the songs, especially the hiking ones, "Swing along, the open road....." And all the harmony! :) Still makes me feel happy!

LOVED IT! Made me smile!

What about, "The wheels on the bus go round and round!"

During my nurse training, I went to a school and sang all those songs I remember as a child, and loved it!

bewbew...I had one of my grandchildren last weekend, and all she wanted to listen to was "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" whenever I played the American Idol CD that I bought. Her class learned that song, and she couldn't hear it enough. :)

As a former girl scout myself...and assistant girl scout leader...I learned a lot of campfire songs. I especially liked the song titled "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree" (did I spell Kookaburra right or not?)

How about: Day is done, gone the sun.........? Learned that in girl scout, too.

My youngest grandkids like the song "The Itsy Bitsy Spider".

How about Barry Manilow's song "I Made It Through The Rain". Ahhhhh....love Barry Manilow...he could sing anything to me and I'd pay attention. :kiss

Howdy, doody, again, Good_Queen_Bess. Nice to be meetin' your acquaintenance, agin'

I liked: Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.

And how about, 100 bottles of beer on the wall, 100 bottles of beer, you take one down and pass it around, 99 bottles of beer on the wall.

Do any of you remember, I love those dear hearts and gentle people who live and love and love in my home town. And for those dear hearts and gentle people, they'll never ever let you down.

They read the Good Book from Fri till Monday, and that is how the weekend goes.

I have a dream house, I'll live there one day, with picket fence and ramblin' rose.

That song has stuck in my head since I was a very little girl. Probably because it talks about paradise.

I used to love The Wheels on the bus go round and round song, but I heard it so many times when I was a bus driver, I did get tired of it. It seemed like that was the only song the kids would sing.

Well anyway, I say, bye, bye for now. You have a good day now, ya hear?

Hi again Cheerfuldoer.:)

I used to love the tongue twisters of yesteryear like, Oo,ee, oo ah, ah, ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang, oo, ee oo ah ah, ting tang walla walla bang bang. T'was the Purple People Eater, and, She wore an itsy witsy teenie weenie polka dot bikini for the first time today, and Running Bear, and the Ballad of Davy Crocket, and how about The Battle of New Orleans. :) Oh, I could just go on and on.

By the way, I have some great news! I won $150. in gift certificates at a local mall from Penn State University for participating in a two-part traffic study. The second part was a daily diary for two days. Unfortunately, I spent those two days in bed, but I wrote them a note telling them I knew what they were looking for, and then proceeded to tell them that I go to the University every Wednesday via Centre County Transportation, and I ride in a handicap van.

And the best thing of all? I got to go with the same service to that mall today, and I blew the whole thing in two stores! One was a candle store, and the other was a toy store. Them little grandkids look for that kind of stuff, and I planned on doing it for them as their Christmas presents, and my grandson's birthday. And guess what! I did it all in about one hour!

My daughter Laurel met me there with my youngest granddaughter, and I just had a blast!

Hugs & a :kiss

Heh heh, Fran.. my sis and I used to sing that in the back seat of the car when we went on vacations... those long drives, y'know... we'd sing it 'til it drove our parents CRAZY !!!

Then we'd just give 'em that ol' "innocent" look and say "but you TOLD us to SING something !" :rotfl:

I love your reply Renee.

The grandma's house thing? It really happened one time, and it remains one of my precious memories. It went like this: My grandson Jake was 4 years old at the time. Around 4 AM one night, my daughter heard noises coming from Jake's room, and decided to investigate. When she looked in, there he was, sitting on the edge of his bed, fully clothed, and putting his shoes and socks on. Marie asked him what he was doing, and he said, "I'm getting ready to go to Grandma's."

Yes they truly are Grandma's playtoys.:)
