今天逛 Storynory 意外發現一段非常有趣的動畫
一位把拔給女兒唱顛倒歌
小貓韋聽了之後很喜歡   雖然他沒法把每一段歌詞都背下來或是念誦出來
可是當我唱到某一段的時候   他會回應說 " No, that' fish." "No, that's monkey."
顯然是一首孩子回應滿好的歌曲

歌詞大義

Elephants. I like elephants.
Elephants. I like elephants.
I like how they swing through trees

Monkeys. I like monkeys.
I like how they swim in the ocean

Fish. I like fish.
I like how they scratch at fleas and sniff at trees and bark at the mailman.

Gotta like dogs.
Curled up on the windowsill purring, and chasing mice

Cats. I like cats.
I like how they say, Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Roosters. I like roosters.
I like how they reach into beehives for the honey

Bears. I like bears.
I like how they jump up high to catch a fly and sit on a lilypad

Gotta like frogs.
Running through a maze for some cheese.

Mice. I like mice.
I like how they say, Hee haw hee haw.

Donkeys. I like donkeys.
I like how they stomp through the jungle with their big gray trunks

Elephants. I like elephants.

聽完了歌   對歌曲的作者意外的感覺到有興趣   就找了一下資料

Eric Herman (real name Eric Herman Endres) is a children's music performer based in the Pacific Northwest. His music combines various styles of rock music with often wryly humorous kid-related lyrics to create what he refers to as "cool tunes for kids". Popular songs of his include "The Elephant Song", "There's a Monster in My House", "Blackbeard, Bluebeard and Redbeard" and "Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous".

 

Herman performed with Western New York area rock bands including Ember and The Infydels, and he was a regular performer on the acoustic singer/songwriter and live theater scenes. In 2003 a very successful production of a musical comedy he wrote, A Week in the Life, was staged at the Alleyway Theater in Buffalo, New York, earning him an Artie Award nomination as "Best Actor in a Musical" [1]. But with the critical and commercial success of his first album of music for kids, The Kid in the Mirror, Herman decided to devote his full attention to producing and performing kids' music under the act name Eric Herman and the Invisible Band. His second album, Monkey Business, proved even more successful, with Seattle's Victory Music Review calling it "one of the best kids' records ever" [2]. His third album, Snow Day!, was released in the summer of 2006 to further acclaim.

 

Eric Herman songs have been heard nationally on PBS Kids[3], XM Kids[4] and Sirius, and his song "Blackbeard, Bluebeard and Redbeard" was voted "Best Children's Song" by the international Just Plain Folks Music Organization for their 2006 awards [5]. Eric's video for "The Elephant Song" has become one of the most popular children's music videos online, with over 2.5 million views on YouTube[6].

 

Several of Herman's songs have words written by or with noted humorous children's poet, Kenn Nesbitt, and Herman credits his wife, Roseann, with co-writing many of his songs and co-producing his albums.

 

Eric Herman also created and hosts the "Cool Tunes for Kids" blogsite, with interviews and features about other noted kids' music artists, such as Ralph's World and They Might Be Giants, as well as articles by Herman about his experiences working in the kids' music field.

 

Herman has identified himself as a Latter-day Saint[7], but his music for kids is non-religious in nature.
