Itsy Spider

    Our ‘Song To Chew’ today is a classic children’s song from my “Uh-Oh!” album, ITSY SPIDER.  Many children’s songs have deep and lasting effects on us though out our entire lives. My version of this song is kind of an ‘up-grade’.  I learned the original Itsy Spider song in pre-school 70 years ago.  Back then we did hand motions; our fingers became Itsy spiders walking up the drain pipe, our wiggling fingers were the rain drops falling; and we’d throw our arms out to the sides as we “washed the spider OUT!”  The sun came out, and our fingers became Itsy spiders again, climbing back up the spout!  Again and again and again!  For 70 years!  And I started thinking, “what lessons have we been teaching our children!?”  The definition of insanity is ‘doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results!’  Maybe the Itsy spider ought to try something new!  Ya think?!  The original song models patience, and perseverance, and my version adds the importance of setting boundaries and walking through our fear of changing!  C’mon!  Have some fun and sing along with us!! ~ Subscribe to my Songs To Chew podcast = https://peteralsop.podbean.com~ CAMPING WITH DADS = https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Dads-Peter-Alsop/dp/B08CS871QW/ref=sr_1_1~ www.FaceBook.com/WeLikePeterAlsop~ www.Youtube.com/peteralsop = videos~ www.Patreon.com/peteralsop = support my music & other artistic endeavors~ www.peteralsop.com/music  = CDs & downloads Get full access to Peter Alsop’s Substack at peteralsop.substack.com/subscribe
