Mud, mud, glorious mud, nothing quite like it for cooling the blood!

My kids really liked The Hippopotamus Song, and my son was truly captivated by The Rhinoceros song, and would ask for it over and over, in part because all kids are fascinated by things that puzzle them, and "the bodger on the bunce" was such a opaque line. Always plenty to think about there, and we didn't translate for him, but allowed him the fun of growing into understanding it. Also, he delighted in his father (the bass-baritone) singing the very low notes of the final chorus, while I piped in with a plummy "Thank you my dear chap!" at the very end. Beloved Husband is a virtuoso whistler, so the Bradipus was a frequent flyer too. The Gnu, In the Bath, and A Transport of Delight were singalong favorites, and the kids often asked my husband to sing Sounding Brass solo, because they couldn't get those words out quite fast enough to keep up.

And we all still quote "Well, then, I better 'elp you clear the snow off it then!" at random moments.

The one that drove me nuts was the kids' constant request that my husband sing the Tom Lehrer song about the hunter that bagged the purebred Guernsey cow. That song is such a hideously powerful and dangerous earworm! He'd sing it once, and my brain would be circling that drain for three weeks.

Still, their chem teacher was amazed and amused when they could sing all the elements of the periodic table, so overall his work was a positive influence.
