Maybe, I thought Rancid did a version of it, too.

Definitely not Yanni. Other than a few vocalizations on one song (and they’re not even words, just sounds), he doesn’t sing on any of his recordings. Nor has he ever done kids’ songs. Hell, few of his songs have words at all. Maybe you were thinking of Raffi?
