March 3, 2008 | category: Every week at school where my wife works the kids have a new theme they learn about. Just recently the theme for the week was DINOSAURS! ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!!
Dinosaurs are totally cool. One of my favorite shirts in grade school was red with a triceratops screen printed in the center. I’ve often wondered what it would be like to have armor plating on my FACE. Probably more fun than I can imagine. Anyway, I digress….the way that that everyone in class learns about the theme for the week is through songs, so I’d like to share with you the dinosaur song they were singing.
This hit is based off the Manfred Mann cover song “Do Wah Diddy Diddy“. Go ahead and sing the song out loud if you want. I won’t laugh, because I already did (sing it).
DINO DIDDY:
There he goes just stomping on his feet (stomp your feet)
Singing Dino-diddy-diddy-dum-diddy-do
Looking around for something good to eat (put hand above eyes)
Singing Dino-diddy-diddy-dum-diddy-do
Leader: He’s huge! (lift arms above head)
Chorus: He’s huge! (lift arms above head)
Leader: He’s strong! (make strong muscle arms)
Chorus: He’s strong! (make strong muscle arms)
Everyone: He’s huge, he’s strong, won’t be hungry very long!
Singing Dino-diddy-diddy-dum-diddy-do
Dino-diddy-diddy-dum-diddy-do
Dino-diddy-diddy-dum-diddy-do
What is clearly just as awesome as a dinosaur song is a neon dinosaur sticker. Below is the actual and real sticker that a student gave my wife as a present. Impressive. Most impressive.
