Delightful. Reminds me of a WC plugger who has since gone on to fame and fortune as a manger. When I commented to them, it must be difficult finding just the right song for all the individualistic artists, they said "Oh no, it's like feeding bananas to monkeys, "oh, you don't like that banana, here's another one, and on and on..." :-)

I like to think they were referring to the fact that each banana has a unique shape, size and color and resides at it's own special place along the ripeness spectrum.

I understand. I used to share my Netflix algorithm with a three year old boy and an eleven year old girl. All it ever did was recommend Kevin Smith movies.

I teach all youngsters the Gorilla Song when getting to know them. It’s brilliant. They almost always sing it back to me at next meeting!

I had my deaf students learn and sign this song. I wish I still had the video.
