31 May 06 - 11:11 PM (#1750948) Subject: Bagpuss fix it song and Wicker Man song From: katlaughing Having learned about Bagpuss, the children's tv show in the UK, through how Mudcat's Bagpuss chose his name, I now have a Bagpuss, the toy cat and TWO of the singing mice. They are SO adorable and fun. Anyway, there are a couple of places where I can't quite get the lyrics, just a word or two, so I went looking on google and found this bit about the "Fix It Song" which the mice sing: That's the same tune sung at the end of cult horror "The Wicker Man" while Ewar Woowar is meeting his maker. Anyone know if this is true? Also, if anyone could post the correct lyrics, that'd be great. It's just a bit muffled and I'd like my grandson to learn the it the right way.:-) Here's what I think they are: We will find it We will bind it We will stick it with glue, glue, glue. We will stickered(?)it, Every little bit of it, We will stick(?) it like new, new, new. Thanks! kat |

Only two variations I could locate. |

01 Jun 06 - 11:37 AM (#1751028) Subject: RE: Bagpuss fix it song and Wicker Man song From: katlaughing Thanks, folks! Micca, I'd never realised they were that close in tune. I'll have to try that out on the piano, but just sight-reading in my mind, it looks almost the same. Khat, how long has yours lasted, singing-wise? We don't play them very often as I want them to last. Seems kind of mean they don't make them with replaceable batteries! Thanks, again, kat |

It was good fun to set them off in time so they did a round. Drove my son (fully grown) mad when I did it for the hundreth time. Nice to see I can get my own back occasionaly:-) DeG |

14 Aug 11 - 01:51 PM (#3207987) Subject: RE: Bagpuss fix it song and Wicker Man song From: GUEST Hi Kat I have just replaced the batteries in our little mouse and she is happily singing once more as clear as ever. I had to carefully unpick the stitches on her back. Take out the voice box also unpicking the stitches in the little bag that encased the box. Using a small cross-head screwdriver I opened it up and removed the 3 small button batteries having identified the type/no we then re-ordered from "7 day shop" at less than £1(BP)per pack of 10. Now she is singing again - until we get tired and shut her up! but I shot a video of her singing in case the voice box ever breaks. It lasted about 2 years last time with children in the house that's not bad and now we have 7 more batteries enough for 2 more replacements! regards Jen (Hertford England) |
