...and your three least favourite!!!

I've just entered the wonderful world of 'song time' with ds (4 months). Most of the songs we sing are new to me!

I thought it might be fun to see what everyone else is singing around the country - and maybe remind ourselves some of the forgotten classics and learn some regional gems!!

My favourites...(in no particular order)...

The Quartermaster's Stores
Ten Fat Sausages (sizzling in a pan)
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?

...my least favourites...

Wind the bobbin up
The wheels on the bus
Old MacDonald

Over to you......

Ooh I love wind the bobbin up! (perhaps because the Jo Jingles version is so funktastic). Also twinkle twinkle little star because it's DS's fave and I've now learned all the verses - the other verses are lovely. And I like She'll be coming round the mountain - great for endless comedy made-up verses.

I loathe loathe loathe Wheels on the bus. The tune is so asinine, it make me want to stick forks in my eyes just for some diversion.
