I've Seen Hell, and It Is CUTE!

[Eimi]

Ok, I just have to share with you one of the drawbacks of teaching English in Japan... the cute children songs that get stuck in your head and go around and around and around in your brain all day to the point where you're humming them while you working, singing them in the shower, and dancing to them while you cook... Until you catch yourself and try to remind yourself that you're an adult and then you just feel unimaginable shame...

So here you go, my top three annoying cute but addictive song.  Watch at your own risk.
Seven Steps Song
The Pinoccio Song
Meijiron Dance <--- ok, this one isn't about English... It was the theme song when my prefecture hosted the national sports festival in 2008, but we ALL had to learn the song and the dance and it's been stuck in my head all day.  Probably because I'm wearing my mejiron t-shirt....

Oh my! Those are definitely cute!!

Coming from a fellow 'teacher' who sings songs with her students....I KNOW how easily they get stuck in your head! I swear I sing them in my sleep!!!

Loved the 'hokey-pokey-ish' nature of the Pinocchio song

Feel free to steal it!  "Simple Songs"...  They are simple, easy, kids love them, and you come to realize they were written from a demon from hell sent to torment you into submission.
