Going to the moon

Local groups have occasionally sung this one. This weekend, we toured a nursery, where the words were the caption on all the childrens' rocket ship images. I'm suddenly wondering if the song will be inescapable for under-5s with rocket ships.

I thought I knew another version of the song, but when thinking it over, I realize the song I know is not about going to the MOON but going to the ZOO:

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too.
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.

I had the same thought! I wonder if it's to the same tune?

No different tune. Though I am pretty much tone deaf :-)

I know a more grown-up version of that song. :)

I think this was another one that was around m&b groups when my kids were small. It's not surprising that we have a similar experience of those songs, given how local we are.

My favourite of these was 'sleeping bunnies', a song explicitly designed to calm down overexcited children. I was in awe recently when an acquaintance described Star Wars day, for slightly older kids, where along with all the lightsaber battles, they'd led the kids through Jedi mind training, where they had to sit very very quietly, access the still small reserves of Force inside themselves, and without moving or saying anything, start to try to move small objects using only the Force. For about quarter of an hour.

This has become our 'getting out of the bath' song which O now 'sings' himself. However he hasn't yet figured out counting forwards properly let alone backwards so we often get a random sequence of a dozen or so numbers before the 'blast off'.

I've seen (and heard) this on recent children's television program(me)s -- possibly the Backyardigans and/or Super Why. It was previously-unfamiliar to me (from, say, 2009 backwards).
