[Music]

kids We want our

kids We want our kids

Take it We

[Music]

want So we were sitting around talking

about the weather and then we thought

why don't we find out more about it i

see So what did you decide to do we were

able to get a local TV weatherman

Christopher Nance to come and be our

guest And Chris and I have been doing

research all week We're going to try and

work interesting information about

weather into the script And we've got

this really neat weather equipment to

prop the set with Well I know I for one

always enjoy a properly propped set It

all sounds wonderful to me And what

about today's music videos we have some

really great ones Would you like to see

them yes

please had an old mule His name was

Simon Slick About anything you ever did

see was how that mule could be that mule

I tell you

[Music]

W sure

Good morning campers You're cheerful

this morning Yep I'm one happy boy

That's good Are you ready to make a TV

show you bet Roll the graphic in three

two one and take

it Coming to the floor in three two and

Good morning and welcome to the Kids

Songs TV show The one and only show made

by kids for kids and starring kids and

bigles Hi I'm Alexander Palm And I'm

Christian Wentura I'm Billy Bigle and

I'm Ruby Biggle Today's show is filled

with great music videos and a sing along

led by me and lots of really neat

information about the weather What's

weather it's like the way the atmosphere

is What's the atmosphere it's the air

that surrounds the Earth What's air

did you feel that kind of That was air

moving towards you I thought moving air

was called wind We're really confused

now Don't worry you'll understand by the

end of the show Now let's play a song

Which one how about Booa Wuba John

you've got it Saw a kick

Fa saw a kick a tree in the middle of

the sea Hey John Oh John Booba John

Saw a frog chase the dog Boo wooa boo

Saw a frog chase a dog Booa boo John Saw

a frog chase a dog sitting on a hollow

log Hey

[Music]

John saw a snail chase a whale Booa booa

Saw a snail chase a whale Booa John saw

a snail chase a whale all around a pale

Hey John h*

[Music]

John He a cow Say me

out

Ba cow Say me

out

Johnow say meow I heard it say loud Hey

Johna John Clips ending in five four

three Camera two give me a closeup and

cue up Okay Billy move your hand like

this

Now did you feel something yes Well

that's air The weather's about the

different changes in the air Like what

like snow rain hail wind Oh we don't

have these things in Big Land except for

the rain We do have rain Oops We're on

the air Our next video is called Home on

the Range It's a traditional American

folk song about the life and dreams of

the settlers The settlers were those

people who set out across America in

horsedrawn wagons to find some land of

their own And boy were they pleased when

they found it So let's go exploring with

them in home on the range Give me a home

where the buffalo roam and the deer and

the antalo play

where he's a discouraging word and the

skies are not cloudy all

day Home on the range where the deer and

the animal

play and the skies are not cloudy all

day

How often at night when the heavens are

bright with the light from the

glittering stars Now I stood there

amazed and as I gaze at the glory

exceeds that of ours

Home Home on the range where the deer

and the animal play

For seldom is heard a

discouraging

world and the skies are not cloudy

[Applause]

[Music]

And we also learned to measure the

weather You can measure weather Sure

This thermometer It shows us what the

temperature is See how the red line goes

up to the number 78 that means that it

is 78° here right now Oh this is a very

pleasant temperature About the same as

big 3 2 and our next song takes us out

to the farm Hi I'm still confused about

this weather thing Can you explain to me

how sometimes the sky is clear and blue

sometimes it's filled with gray clouds

that make rain sure but can we finish

this intro first do you have to it's

really driving me crazy Okay since I'm

sure the kids at home would like to know

the answer to this question too we'll

answer you right now When the sky is

clear and blue that means there's no

moisture But when there's lots of water

in the air it gets mixed with little

tiny pieces of ice and it makes clouds

But how do the clouds get way up there

in the sky okay the sun heats up the

Earth and since hot air rises it brings

little droplets of water up with it and

then they all get together and make

clouds And when the clouds get so full

of water they can't hold it anymore and

it rains I

understand I understand This is great

And now for a really great song It's

kicking mule My uncle had an old mule

His name was Simon Sling about anything

you ever did see was how that

mu I tell you that m I say keep your

seat miss that sure his

way I went to feed that mule one morning

he met me with a smile he backed one ear

and wked one eye and gave me half a mile

there I tell you there m I say keep your

seat missa that you sure want his

[Applause]

way This new is a kinker He's got an

iron back Headed off a railroad train

and kicked it off the track W I tell you

that I say he miss that sure his

way You see that coming he's got a great

big boat When you see that

old road there

I say keep your seat that sure wants his

way I tell you

[Music]

there on the floor coming to the host in

three two and our next video tells the

story of Hi I'm back We can see that

Billy Oh anyway I've been thinking a lot

about this cloud thing Yes Well you know

I've noticed that some clouds are really

thin and wispy and other ones are like

like a whole bunch of cotton puffs piled

up together kind of like whipped cream

Why is that good question Billy There

are several types of clouds They are at

different heights in the sky which

changes their shapes Fascinating

Absolutely fascinating Where were we

intro to Farmer in the Dell Oh yeah

Right This next song tells a story of a

farmer and his growing family It's

called Farmer in the Dell The farmer in

the dell The farmer in the dell Hi-h*

the derry-o the farmer in the dell The

farmer takes the wife The farmer takes

the wife Hi-h* the derry-o the farmer

takes the wife The wife takes the child

The wife takes the child Hi-h* the

derry-o The wife takes the child The

child takes the cow The child takes the

cow Hi-h* the derry-o The child takes

the

[Music]

cow The cow takes the pig The cow takes

the pig Hi-h* the derry-o The cow takes

the pig The pig takes the dog The pig

takes the dog Hi-h* the derry-o the pig

takes the dog The dog takes the cat the

dog takes the cat Hi-h* the derry-o the

dog takes the cat the cat takes the

mouse the cat takes the mouse Hi-h* the

derry-o the cat takes the

mouse The mouse takes the cheese The

mouse takes the cheese Hi-h* the derry-o

the mouse takes the cheese the cheese

stands alone the cheese stands alone

Hi-h* the derry-o the cheese stands

alone Hi-h* the derry-o the cheese

stands alone

Kevin do you like this closeup good And

I'll zoom out to a two shot in three two

I don't know if we should even start

this next intro because as soon as we do

you know Billy's going to pop out with

another weather lesson Hi I'm back You

know I was thinking yes we figured you

were What can we teach you now Billy how

come sometimes when the clouds get full

of water rain comes out and other times

it's snow oh that's an easy one If it's

less than 32° the rain freezes and

becomes snow Snow is just frozen water

Oh okay Well here's a harder question

How come when it's rain it's in drops

and when it's snow it's in those really

neat shapes Because when it snows the

water freezes around little pieces of

dust as it falls That makes the pretty

shapes Wow Can we go on with the show

now Billy sure In our next video the

Kids Songs kids went to visit some

doctors who taught them all about bones

Them bones to be exact So you want to be

a doctor well they're getting there is

slow A whole lot of school to learn the

things you got to know Don't you call on

our friend the skeleton and name these

bones one by one

We got the

footbones Connect the shin

bones Connect the thigh

bones Connect the hip bones

Now what we've got here is the lower

half of the body Beautiful And that's no

lab The other bones of the body we need

you see Cuz put together neatly they

make you and me

These bones these bones going to walk

around these bones These bones around

these bones these bones going to dance

around these bones These body

bones We got the finger

bones Connect the hand bones

Connect the

armbones Connect the shoulder

bones Now you and me are going to play a

little game I'll point to the bow and

you say the name

Footbone shin

bone thigh

bone hipbone finger bone handbone arbone

headbone And all these bones together

make a curvy backbone Now that is good

And now you all know how the bones fit

together from a head to toe Just stand

close together and do your thing We put

all the bones together again as we sing

One two Say "What's in your shoe?" The

hip bones connected to the shin bones

The shin bones connected to the thigh

bones The thigh bones connected to the

hip bones These bones going to walk

around And the finger bones connected to

the hand bones The hands connected to

the arm bones Arones connected to the

shoulder bones Bones connected to the

headbone These bones of the body love it

Walk around these bones of the body Jump

around the bones of the body Dance

around We love these bones We love these

bones We love these bones Gosh Christian

and Alex really know a lot about weather

Yeah our science teacher Mr Gowers is

really into it We keep track of rainfall

all year and chart the temperature I

think if he wasn't a teacher he would

have been a weatherman Clip is ending

Hammer's cute on B Thanks for the

reminder Cue the host in three two and

this next song is called If I Had a

Hammer Okay If snow is freezing rain

what's hail hail starts off as rain but

the wind blows it up higher where it's

colder and it freezes That's why it's

like frozen raindrops and not snow This

is very interesting I agree And this

next song is very entertaining Kev roll

If I had a hammer

I had a

hammer I'd hammer in the

morning I hammer in the

evening All over this

land I hammer out

danger I hammer out warning

I hammer out love between my brothers

and my sisters

all over this

[Music]

land If I

had I'd bring it in the

morning I bring it in the

evening All over this

land I bring out

danger I bring out

warning I bring out love between my

brothers and my sisters

I'd sing out love between my brothers

and my sisters from

all over this

hammer and I've got a

bell and I've got a song to sing all

over this

land It's the hammer of justice It's the

bell of

freedom It's the song about love between

my brothers and my sisters

all over this land Question time graphic

is ready when you are Kevin The throw to

the interview segment is on the prompter

Roll the graphic 4 3 2 1 and take it

You've probably noticed that we've been

talking about weather all day which is

all we can do about it Cuz one thing's

for sure we can't change it That's true

But we can study it and hopefully we can

predict it So let's find out more from

our expert guest weatherman Christopher

Nance Thank you Christian and Alex for

that fine introduction Good morning Mr

Nance Thank you for joining us in the

Kids Song studio Well it's my pleasure

Janet Thank you very much for letting me

come and share a little bit of my

expertise with your audience First of

all tell us what is the difference

between a weatherman and a meteorologist

Okay Well a meteorologist is a boy or

girl who decides to go to college major

in meteorology and then get a degree in

meteorology Anybody else who comes along

after that who decides well I want to be

a weatherman or a weather woman is what

we call a weather forecaster That's what

I am So meteorologists study weather

measurements Can you explain to us about

these instruments sure We have a variety

of instruments here in the studio One

instrument can be as simple as this It's

a sock It's a wind sock And you see a

lot of these at the airport And the wind

blows in here and it can turn the sock

And it gives the pilot of the airplane

an idea of which direction the wind is

blowing And pilots use the wind when

they're taking off because they want to

take off into the wind because the wind

will give them lift We also have a tool

that measures how fast the wind is

blowing It's called an animometer The

wind blows into these cups and causes

this to spin around The faster it spins

the faster the calibrated speed is and

we can get a reading of whether it's a

hurricane force wind or a gale force

wind or just a good kite flying kind of

a wind Then we have a barometer Do you

have a scale at home that you weigh

yourself on well a barometer is like a

scale except you wouldn't stand on this

to get your weight like you would on

your scale at home But this is so

sensitive it can measure the weight of

the wind and the weight of the air where

air pressure And this barometer helps us

determine whether it's going to be a

stormy day with a lot of weight in the

air or whether it's going to be a sunny

dry day with not a lot of weight in the

air But then a most important tool is

this little replica here Except in space

it's a lot larger than this It's called

a satellite Matter of fact we have some

weather tape here And I'll give you an

idea of how a weather satellite works It

takes pictures beautiful pictures of

planet Earth And from 23,300 miles out

into space we can look down and we can

see where the clouds are You can see

this big storm that's moving through the

New England states That storm dropped as

much as 24 in of snow in some areas And

then the center part of the country

doesn't have any clouds at all And here

in Southern California well another

sunny day in paradise What advice do you

have for kids who want to be weather

people when they grow up well if there

are boys and girls out there that want

to be whether men or whether women I

would tell them to do what I did as a as

a little boy and that's to take as much

math and as much science as you possibly

can A lot of students are saying "Oh I

hate math I hate science." Well I wasn't

good in math and science but I liked it

I didn't bring home A's and B's all the

time but I did the best I could And you

know how you lift weights to exercise

your body well we should exercise our

brain with science and math and then you

can be anything you want to be when

you've learned science and math Anything

Well thank you very much for joining us

I've learned a lot and I'm sure our

viewers at home have too It's been my

pleasure Janet Thank you I sure have The

weather is my new favorite subject

That's great But I hope you haven't

forgot your favorite part of the show

Forget my sing along never Today I've

picked one of the greatest kids songs of

all time It's Old Macdonald had a farm

the same all over the people world oh no

It's very very different depending on

where you go You see some places are hot

and dry like Egypt and in others it's

cold and wet like Vancouver And some

places like Alaska always have snow and

others like Mexico never have it Here

let's take a look at these climate maps

I wonder if we can rush out an intro

before Billy comes back with another

question Let's try Our next song is
