I was at one of his live concerts as a child. My mom yelled "encore!" at the end and I was convinced she alone got Raffi to come back out and sing another song. It was magic.
yeah the math aint adding up there. was it an older song that Raffi brought into the mainstream? not attacking you or anything, just genuinely curious now.
I remember going to see Raffi in concert as a kid... I loved it. He's actually still touring and doing shows... That seems crazy to me... That's a long time and a lot of childrens' songs for an adult to play and not lose their mind
This song was my childhood! 31 now and every time I asked someone what the name of this song was, I would only really remember the chorus, but they wouldn't know what I was talking about. Can't get enough of this song!
If this song doesn’t randomly pop up in your head from time to time, U had no childhood 😤 i remember singing this in elementary school all the time, good times man
I can’t believe I remember all his songs at least 22 years later! He was my favorite musician for my kids to listen to and I’m sure we had all the CDs. I just thought about him while making up my own songs for musical improv. What a great influence for recent generations!
I was already a teenager when he became big with the kids. But I have 3 younger sisters who loved him and his music especially when his specials were on cable tv! So, I got to know the songs too. lol
I was working at a grocery store, and it randomly popped into my head yesterday. My grandma used to sing this song to me when I was a kid. I’m now 20 today.
I am genuinely convinced raffi is one of the most talented music artists in the last 50 years, amazing nostalgic verses, catchiest and most creative choruses you'll hear, I love this man thank you raffi for making everybody heres childhoods!!
When I was little I had a CD I'd listen to everyday in my room. I had forgotten all about it until I ran across one of these videos. As it turns out, most of the songs were sung by him!
We took the kids to a Raffi concert 40 years ago. They still remember it. Their kids are bigger now than they were then. I used to sub with a kindergarten class waynback. I always brought my video of Raffi’s cncert for children.
BRAVO RAFFI ! THE CHILDREN ARE VERY, VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH YOU ! GOD BLESS YOU ! YOU LOVE THE CHILDREN ENDLESS ! THE CHILDREN LOVE YOU ENDLESS, TOO ! THIS IS FANTASTIC ! BRAVO ! ALL WE LOVE THE CHILDREN ENDLESS ! THE CHILDREN IN ALL WORLD ARE WONDERFUL ! GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN ! WITH A LOT OF LOVE AND LIGHT Mrs N.Mirkova from Sofia - Bulgaria
It’s crazy how this type of setting slowly disappeared as time went on. I’m 25 now and I feel like I haven’t seen of a children’s concert except in old videos. Where did this youthful, jovial, innocence go
I love this song I’m 10 but in kindergarten there was 3 classes going to sing this at the assembly and we all sang it and it gives me so many memories of my old teacher
I saw a comment someone said they’re 28 & was singing along. That comment was from 4yrs ago. It’s 2023, I’m 25 & I just randomly wanted to hear this song. I haven’t heard it in 20yrs. Life is wild. If you’re reading this years from now, tag me in your comment.
20 or so years ago, we would sing this on the bus, going on field trips ♥️ im singing at the top of my lungs. I LOVE this song and have been teaching my son. He didnt learn it in school 😔 or SKUNK IN THE BARNYARD, PEEYOU, SOMEBODY ATE IT, THATS YOU!
Came here after reading a Rediit thread. I'm pretty sure I had a cassette tape of this and some others as a kid. I was born in '95, but CDs weren't really a thing in my house until about 2005.
I miss those days. Parents were so interactive with their kids. Look at all those parents and kids. Now parents are just too busy to play with their kids.
I’m pretty sure if you played any of his songs in a room full of early-mid 30-somethings we’d all channel drunk 20-year-old freshmen singing Part of Your World.
I remember singing this song in music class in elementary school but had such a tough time figuring out what it was. All i could remember was watermelons
Anguss1313 This is my most favorite simple song too. I actually increase my chances of winning loads of tickets (by seventy-five percent) in dozens of arcades.
I was at one of his live concerts as a child. My mom yelled "encore!" at the end and I was convinced she alone got Raffi to come back out and sing another song. It was magic.
The guy that probably has the most fun and rewarding job ever. All the smiles he put on kids faces over the years
I never grew up with Raffi, but stumbled upon this song because my son requested this song. Honestly, so good, we listen to it on repeat.
"Did you ever see a COW with a green eyeBROW" My Dad sang it to me when I was little..I'm nearly 80 now and still love it. Thanks Raffi
yeah the math aint adding up there. was it an older song that Raffi brought into the mainstream? not attacking you or anything, just genuinely curious now.
@@nitrous_godobviously. If this person was 80 7 years ago and raffi is only in his 70s..
Was feeling down today… cooking some dinner, and thought that maybe a childhood song could bring me up. Thanks Raffi.
This man is a legend. Generations remember and will remember his songs!
It’s funny you use that word, legend. But if you’d have asked my daughters in 1991 if he was or not, they would’ve agreed!
Beautiful day today
Yes
No
Maybe
I remember going to see Raffi in concert as a kid... I loved it. He's actually still touring and doing shows... That seems crazy to me... That's a long time and a lot of childrens' songs for an adult to play and not lose their mind
what makes you think he hasn't lost his mind??
Nlhipi
Blippi
Even today?😢
Wow Raffis concert was the best I could ever seen ❤😊
This man is a national treasure. He brought joy to millions of kids and that's priceles
Wore out my Raffi cassette as a kid. Now I play these for my kids, they love the music and dancing kids
My heart melted when I heard the children sing along at the beginning, this was so sweet💚
This man was my childhood, teenage years, and to this day remains one of my favorite song singers
It brings tears of joy! So many happy memories of my daughters childhood. 🥰
33 years young punk kid and still come back to good ol' Raffi to heal my soul😊
"Have you ever had a time when you couldn't make it rhyme?"
That line was such lyrical genius
I haven’t heard this in 30 years and I remember every damn word
This song was my childhood! 31 now and every time I asked someone what the name of this song was, I would only really remember the chorus, but they wouldn't know what I was talking about. Can't get enough of this song!

It constantly pops into my head. I’m 34 now.
Me at 34, thinking of this song, thought up a short film adaptation of this song, I would be thrilled to make it one of these days.
I can’t believe I remember all his songs at least 22 years later! He was my favorite musician for my kids to listen to and I’m sure we had all the CDs. I just thought about him while making up my own songs for musical improv. What a great influence for recent generations!
When your 44 and still singing songs with Raffi and your adult kids look at you twisted!
This is ALL me ❤😂🎉
Just took my senior pictures today...
Needed to go back and watch this.
When you're 28 and find yourself singling along with Raffi
I’m 27 and singing Raffi in front of my fiancé lol
@@sarahbellum380 yhes
Are you kitting me
I have a working theory that Raffi brainwashed all of us as children to return to him in our late-20s.
CanadianWarMachine I’m 13 and I grew up with him
20 some odd years later, this still makes my heart feel good.
I grew up listening to him
Same
I did too
Same My voice sounds just like him when I sing his songs
Same here. He's great.
Same 😭 he’s my childhood
I was already a teenager when he became big with the kids. But I have 3 younger sisters who loved him and his music especially when his specials were on cable tv! So, I got to know the songs too. lol
Singing 😊
I was working at a grocery store, and it randomly popped into my head yesterday. My grandma used to sing this song to me when I was a kid. I’m now 20 today.
Would always listen to this guy when I was younger:)
This brings me back to my childhood, in the 1990's! It's been my favourite song by Raffi since then! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😌😌😌😌😌
Been singing this to my sons for the last couple of years. Heard it when I was 5-ish about 33 years ago. Classic.
I didn’t grow up to listening to him but listening to this makes my smile so much and I don’t even know why 😊😊
Same
Same. I never heard of him until I became a pre-school teacher. Love him.
No
I’m joking
Omg remember listening to this when I was child now 42 yrs old and now showing with my younger children
Born in 1991 and this song still gets stuck in my head every 2 or 3 months
I still love to sing Rafi songs to my nephews and nieces ♡♡
I am genuinely convinced raffi is one of the most talented music artists in the last 50 years, amazing nostalgic verses, catchiest and most creative choruses you'll hear, I love this man thank you raffi for making everybody heres childhoods!!
I'm an 84 baby and I remember singing this song in school. And now me and my family sing it on road trips ❤🙌
i am 85 baby
When I was little I had a CD I'd listen to everyday in my room. I had forgotten all about it until I ran across one of these videos. As it turns out, most of the songs were sung by him!

I love this song! My sister and my cousin will always break out and sing this in the car! We make up our own verses on the fly and laugh our heads off

Hey keep it wholesome
Confused Boy And he did
😂😂😂

@@disfiguredfetus1809 Username che-- actually no. No it doesn't.
I learned this song through a cool/rocker substitute teacher my class had (in elementary over 20 yrs ago).That whole week we learned so many songs.
BRAVO RAFFI ! THE CHILDREN ARE VERY, VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH YOU ! GOD BLESS YOU ! YOU LOVE THE CHILDREN ENDLESS ! THE CHILDREN LOVE YOU ENDLESS, TOO ! THIS IS FANTASTIC ! BRAVO ! ALL WE LOVE THE CHILDREN ENDLESS ! THE CHILDREN IN ALL WORLD ARE WONDERFUL ! GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN ! WITH A LOT OF LOVE AND LIGHT Mrs N.Mirkova from Sofia - Bulgaria

Yip😊
Loved this song. My grandson sings this all day long.

My sister was the one who first taught me this song after she learned it at elementary school. Fondest memories
Man, this and "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" bring me so much nostalgia...
My children are 15 - born yesterday and will all grow up with Raffi in their life.
Thank you for introducing me to Nelson Mandela.
Another childhood favorite of mine. So much nostalgia.
This man was my childhood!
can i be part of your adulthood?!damn you cute
Savage Klown I'm good thanks
yaaaaas !!

Do you like Barney the Purple Dinosaur?
@@drob1iviouz94 Don't think about it too much too much too much too muuuuch
I love this song I’m 10 but in kindergarten there was 3 classes going to sing this at the assembly and we all sang it and it gives me so many memories of my old teacher
Same man I’m 11 but I sang this in kindergarten And at camp fires
My favourite version! Our Amaru loves it so much! Thanks Raffi for sharing the love in your heart.
My daughter loves this song🥰 I love singing along 38!!!
34 years old and still love my Raffi!!!
Who didn't love Raffi !!!
I’m 19 now and this song came to my mind from my childhood :) ❤️
When i was a toddler in the early 90s, i named a stuffed giraffe of mine "Raffi" because I loved Raffi so much
I saw a comment someone said they’re 28 & was singing along. That comment was from 4yrs ago.
It’s 2023, I’m 25 & I just randomly wanted to hear this song. I haven’t heard it in 20yrs. Life is wild. If you’re reading this years from now, tag me in your comment.
Also 25 and just thought of him for the first time in probably 20 years!
I remember my father had a Raffi cassette he would play in the car
I love all these songs interpreted by Raffi. I am only a kid
A 35 year old kid.
When you are 45 and thanking God you found Raffi for the first time to help you entertain your little one. We had Sharon, Lois and Brahm up in Canada!
20 or so years ago, we would sing this on the bus, going on field trips ♥️ im singing at the top of my lungs. I LOVE this song and have been teaching my son. He didnt learn it in school 😔 or SKUNK IN THE BARNYARD, PEEYOU, SOMEBODY ATE IT, THATS YOU!
Most wholesome stuff on the internet
my little cousin absoulutly loves this song, thanks :)
grew up with this man
The king of punk rock.
Man's a national treasure ❤
Me gusta mucho la canción de Raffi DOWN BY THE BAY
He is beautiful
I loved Raffi now my kids do too
This song was my childhood honestly
I remember driving on road trips to this song.
My kids grandkids and I love Rafi
this takes me back to my childhood and I'm now 17 But woooooooo YEAH I'm lovin' it bruh. I'm also a female behind that.
Came here after reading a Rediit thread. I'm pretty sure I had a cassette tape of this and some others as a kid. I was born in '95, but CDs weren't really a thing in my house until about 2005.
I loved this song as a child
I miss those days. Parents were so interactive with their kids. Look at all those parents and kids. Now parents are just too busy to play with their kids.
I never heard this song until I played it on piano
Really digging the folk influence.
I’m pretty sure if you played any of his songs in a room full of early-mid 30-somethings we’d all channel drunk 20-year-old freshmen singing Part of Your World.
Hi
I remember this song!!!
"Did you ever see a Goose kissing a Moose?" Golden
32 and this song is still a hitter.
there's no end to this song
OG Banger! Bars for days!
I remember singing this song in music class in elementary school but had such a tough time figuring out what it was. All i could remember was watermelons
1:33 that kid is having the time of his life right now.
This was my favorite song in preschool:)
I love that song
Raffi is a legend
I love the way you can sing along to baby Beluga
Rafi is just awesome 😀
This song literally just popped up in my head out of nowhere, and I still remembered some of the lyrics from the years I was in elementary.. 😅
I used to hear this song when I used to babysit my neighbour's kids! I loved this song! (still do) :-)
Fond, fond memories.
i'm 39 and this man had a legitimate fond place in my heart. what has happened since this?
Such nostalgia
I love this song
I seen raffi in concert in 1994 at age 3
I like his songs
It's an honor that my name is Raffi! :D
I wish Raffi spoke more about Jesus I've been hypnotize with senselessness garble
can you imagine a mosh pit at a raffi concert

This is my most favorite simple song too. I actually increase my chances of winning loads of tickets (by seventy-five percent) in dozens of arcades.
