'Que sera, sera, whatever will be will be'

Grin

She was word perfect! Gave me such a chuckle.

That's nice but not unusual surely? It's on lots of kids cds, my toddler loves it.

NicelyStarched · 16/01/2020 19:30

Really? I've never heard a child sing it before! They're more likely to give you a blast of Little Mix imo Grin

Was half hoping you'd say 'Alice, Alice? Who the duck is Alice'

My 4 year old, in reception class, sings along to ozzy Osbourne crazy train Grin
I think that's more unusual than que sera sera.

2 yo here who can do the verse and chorus of Dancing Queen. I'm not even an ABBA fan, I've no idea where she got it!

I no longer teach in nursery...I 'graduated' to KS2 😂...but when I was in my nursery class one day, one of my lovely 3 year olds asked if she could sing me 'the doggie song'. Expecting 'how much is that doggie in the window', I said yes...and had to keep a very straight face as she launched into 'Who Let The Dogs Out?' (Complete with dance actions 😂😬🤦‍♀️)

Not ‘The Red Flag?’

I taught DS the words to this as for some reason ‘Oh Christmas Tree’ annoys me and that was what they taught him in nursery.

Yes I know the origins, and it’s most likely a folk tune (and not a festive song) but still... this was pre Corbyn/Momentum and my family were all labour back in the day before...

GabsAlot · 16/01/2020 20:06

Ah i love that song op especially doris day version

hagsrus0 · 16/01/2020 20:08

I remember my Mum in one of her cynical moments singing

"The people's flag is palest pink,
It's not as red as you might think!"

Camomila · 16/01/2020 20:10

DS (nearly 4) sang a very interesting song the other night about Mary (baby Jesus' mummy), Santa, and Sonic Booms.

I can only assume Mary was on Santas sledge and it gets around so fast that it does sonic booms!

MrsGrindah · 16/01/2020 20:11

My Mum used to sing that to me...when I was just a little girl.it sounds like my name.. I’ve been hearing it a lot lately and I like to think it’s her ( no longer with us)

CaptainMyCaptain · 16/01/2020 20:17

I had a child in Reception once who independently wrote out the lyrics to a very explicit song by, I think Black Eyed Peas. I showed them to his Mum who was mortified and didn't realise he was listening that hard. She obviously had a word with him because the next day he just wrote NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.

Buttonmoonb4tea · 16/01/2020 22:37

The girl has good taste in music.

My 4 year old DS sings we will rock you by Queen randomly

WhoAreThey · 16/01/2020 22:42

Now wondering if you're my DD's teacher Grin

Clawdy · 16/01/2020 22:52

Many years ago I was teaching a reception class in a inner city school. At singing and story time, one little girl stood up and sang "Lie down, girl, let me push it up, push it up..." and half the class were happily swaying to it! I found out later it was a popular reggae song.

Downton57 · 16/01/2020 22:53

One of my worst teaching moments was when a yr 2 said she'd learned a song and I suggested she sing it to the class. She launched into Madonna's Like a Virgin, complete with hideously inappropriate dance moves.

The working class can kiss my arse,
I've got the foreman's job at last.
Not out of work or on the dole
So stick the red flag up your hole.
