[Music]
we want our
[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
all over this
land If I had a
song I'd sing it in the
morning sing it in the
evening All over this
land I'd sing out danger I'd sing out
falling
I'd sing out love between my brothers
and my sisters from
all over this
land Well I got a
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
called When the Saints Go Marching In
