If you haven't come across this site...time to check it out! I am teaching a kindergarden prep art class this summer and wanted some cool songs for the kids. Found 'em!

I think my favorite so far is the Picasso Polka by Greg Percy:

I think my favorite so far is the Picasso Polka by Greg Percy:
One eye looks straight ahead, the other to the right
My arm is where my leg should be
My pants are kinda tight
I don’t know what is wrong with me
I think Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
My arm is where my leg should be
My pants are kinda tight
I don’t know what is wrong with me
I think Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
CHORUS:
One eye is looking sideways, Picasso Polka
They other’s looking my way, Picasso Polka
I might be sort of Cubey, Picasso Polka
Maybe rose, maybe blue, Picasso polka
One eye is looking sideways, Picasso Polka
They other’s looking my way, Picasso Polka
I might be sort of Cubey, Picasso Polka
Maybe rose, maybe blue, Picasso polka
My head it once was round, but now it is a square
My elbow has three bends in it
My foot looks like a chair
I don’t know what is wrong you see
I guess Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
My elbow has three bends in it
My foot looks like a chair
I don’t know what is wrong you see
I guess Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
CHORUS
My hair is kind of blue
My house is kind of blue
The sky is sort of blue
I’m thinkin he was blue
I don’t know what is wrong you see
I guess Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
My house is kind of blue
The sky is sort of blue
I’m thinkin he was blue
I don’t know what is wrong you see
I guess Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
I have seen this before, but looked more closely this time. I like the idea of the art clean up rap. That would be great! Thanks for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteGreg Percy has cds out and he actually came to our school and performed for us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I always wondered what songs would be appropriate for the classroom. I gave your blog an award on my artblog today. Go check it out. Thanks and keep the great ideas coming!
