Subject: RE: Songs that work magic with little ones
'Beans in your Ears', 'They did it cause we said NO' (from the Fantasicks, I can't recall the real name. A story, Owongalema, which is about animals trying to get, and REMEMBER a magic word. My friend learned it from a Danny Kaye record. But I once told that to a group of kindergartners. Several months later I was in the school again and one child came running up to me calling "I remember the word! Owongalema!" The teacher later told me that the child had been barely able to remember her name before I told the story.
