There's a spider on the wall
There's a spider down the hall

There's a spider in my soup?

Now THAT would be a fun project!

How many?...well if you count the spider one I have five. I've reworked the gator one and I need to overhaul the rhino one too I think. I find myself singing in my head when I'm walking or driving or just doing stuff around the house. If it's not a earworm, it's a song or lyrics anyway that I'm making up or just reworking. My brain works in strange ways. So I may just let that happen for a while, write them down (hard to do while you're driving) and then pick my favorite ones when I actually go to record something.

Basically I'm just a big kid at heart. So making up kookie little verses is right down my alley. Peter Pan syndrome.

Which animals so far? caterpillar, rhino, gator, spider, poodle? Gotta add a hippo and maybe kangaroo?

Hey Daryl! Given how off track this thread has gotten (now it seems to be the caterpillar song/kids songs thread), maybe you should just mail me directly. If I do end up recording something, it would be cool to have a couple of surprises. Right?

To answer your question, if I bookend the song with caterpillar verses (which I forgot to include in the previous count oops!) then the animals I have so far are caterpillar, gator (because crocodile is too many syllables), poodle, rhino (needs reworking), snake and spider. I'm also cooking one for frogs, beetle. I like your suggestions of kangaroo (but that's three syllables too - quokka might work). Hippo is good. Galah might work too. Now you've got me thinking of Aussie native animals.

My main suggestion was just have fun with it. Go for fun, offbeat, and a little absurd; things kids could relate to and/or find amusing. You can see how easy it is to make up lyrics for a kid's song just by sticking to a formula and using rhymes. I'm sure the same applies to more serious songs too.

Write me with any other suggestions so we don't infest the forum with caterpillars.

It's been fun.
