24 Feb 10 - 09:00 PM (#2849420) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lyrics: 'Zigy, Zigy Za' From: Melissa I listened on youtube and did a little bit of searching..came up with nothing. Don't give up--there may be others looking but not posting. The zigy-za game I watched looked fun! |

25 Feb 10 - 06:56 AM (#2849659) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lyrics: 'Zigy, Zigy Za' From: GUEST,Brian Yea, thanks. I've seen the YouTube. I did search A LOT before posting here. I actually got the song from a book at school (some sort of very old Silver Burdett music textbook) and sequenced it a little a few years ago (didn't type the words, 'tho). Anyway, I came across the MIDI and it seems PERFECT for this year's chorus. I'll be darned if the book seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth! Between searching the internet and my classroom I've spent about 3 hours to no avail. Ugh! Thanks, Melissa and anyone else... |

01 Mar 10 - 04:00 AM (#2852764) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lyrics: 'Zigy, Zigy Za' From: Joe Offer There's a game in this video, more-or-less the same tune. Looks like they're passing shoes around in kind of a "musical chairs" arrangement. The players are a little older in this video - are they passing around packs of cigarettes? Looks like fun. Seems like it's usually spelled "Ziggy Ziggy Za," but the Astrud Gilberto recording is "Zigy Zigy Za." -Joe- |
|
01 Mar 10 - 04:31 AM (#2852780) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Zigy, Zigy Za'(Astrud Gilberto/kidsgame) From: Melissa In the one where it looked like they were playing with cigarette packs, somehow one person was eliminated at each round. How did that work? I thought it looked like they all started out with a playing piece in their hand. |
|
01 Mar 10 - 06:42 AM (#2852842) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Zigy, Zigy Za'(Astrud Gilberto/kidsgame) From: GUEST,Brian Perhaps one of the packs is "marked" or empty- when whoever is in charge of the song stops and lifts the one stuck w/ the "marked" object is eliminated? Anyone know the words? |

01 Mar 10 - 09:14 AM (#2852975) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Zigy, Zigy Za'(Astrud Gilberto/kidsgame) From: GUEST,Brian Here's another vid. (No words 'tho...) It's basically the same as the African stone-passing game "obwisana" exept for the reverse on "Zigy, zigy za." Usually with "Obwisana" we increase the tempo until the passing falls apart (with much fun and excitement!). |

01 Mar 10 - 02:41 PM (#2853295) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Zigy, Zigy Za'(Astrud Gilberto/kidsgame) From: Melissa In Obwisana, you sit in a circle with an open hand on your left knee and your right hand moving in time with the song..and one rock being passed while someone in the middle tries to see who has the rock? If that's how the game goes, I'd like to hear/see it. |

|
01 Mar 10 - 03:00 PM (#2853313) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Zigy, Zigy Za'(Astrud Gilberto/kidsgame) From: GUEST,Brian That's it. Once we've mastered the passing then we increase the tempo slowly until failure. Lots of fun. |

Slaves of Job played Caxangá Take, boots, leaving the Warriors with go ... Zambelo warriors do zig zig Zá warriors with warriors do zig zig za. For some reason my music teacher in middle school had us sing this song. I didn't know until just now that it was a Portuguese folk song. Never understood why we were told to sing it either. I got this from the GOOGLE translator. Bob Happy Thanksgiving!! |
