I adored the song “We all live in a capital I” from Sesame Street, but I haven’t been able to find a recording of it anywhere (for years and years) Anyone know of one? ---

!!! I was _just_ thinking of that song last week! That and the Sesame Street song that went something like Two Two Two little cats… Two little somethings… Also, I remember a cool short film where a little city girl went to visit her grandma in the country. When there, she picked veggies and made…um…corn on the cob, a salad and tomato soup. IIRC the colors were incredibly vivid and it was just a fantastic bit of cinematography. Assuming that the reality matches my memory. \< sings \> Kodachrome Gives us those nice bright colors It gives us the greens of summers Makes us think all the world’s a sunny day … But I know it’d never match my sweet imagination… \< /sings \> ---

Another one I would love to get an mp3 of: \*D, D, D, D. Daddy dear, oh daddy dear, do dogs have dreams, do ducks have ears? Do dragons dance, why do gophers dig holes? Do gophers dress up in their dirty clothes? Dogs dream of meat and their dreams are delicious. Ducks do have ears but they don’t do the dishes. Gophers dig holes to hide their candy bars, Dragons don’t dance and they don’t smoke cigars. Daddy dear, oh daddy sweet, do dandylions roar, do daisies have feet? May I have a drink of water and a dish of tadpoles? Daddy how deep is a doughnut hole? Dandylions roar and your daddy is deaf, The daisies drank the water and the tadpoles left. Your eyes are drooping darling daughter and you’re dizzy in the head; The toads are eating dinner so it’s time to go to bed. Little dolly go to bed.\* And the Aligator King… ---
