Favourite nursery rhymes

[Rayoflight]

Hi girls I've got to sing a nursery rhyme for a telephone audition tomorrow and looking for inspiration.

What are your favourite nursery rhymes? Which do you think have the nicest melody?

Thanks!

Oooh what's the audition for? Lots of nursery rhymes are really dark aren't they? Erm...I like 'Little Mousy Brown' and good old twinkle twinkle.

You are my sunshine-dunno if it's a nursery rhyme though. Mary had a little lamb, row row row your boat and twinkle twinkle are Sebs favourite. I sing 'give me oil in my lamp' and 'He's got the whole world in his hands' but again don't think they're nursery rhymes!

Mine wasnt a Nursery Rhyme but I love it

True Nursery Rhymes Id have to choose Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Yes I was thinking twinkle twinkle - can't go wrong with it!

I also like Miss Polly had a dolly and the grand old duke of York!

It's a telephone interview/audition to become a baby signing teacher. Haven't told hubby yet though. Nervous because I really want to do it but will need money to start off and he is in control of the purse strings.

That sounds like a great job! Awww miss Polly had a dolly, I loved that one!

Oh forgot to say good luck and hopefully Shaun won't be arsey about it!

Gemma how did it go yesterday?

 

[Rayoflight]

She didn't get me to sing! I'd been practicing and everything! Gutted.

On a positive note though I have now discovered that I can do a pretty authentic sheep noise which makes Blake proper belly giggle. Old MacDonald had a farm is like baby crack in our house - it's like my foolproof way of cheering him up, calming him down and stopping crying! I sound like a total knob of course.

 

[MrsR]

Lmao! Seb just thinks i'm hilarious generally! Lol!

How did it go apart from not being asked to sing?

I'm glad you can sing, when baby's here I think I will make him cry rather than soothe him :L:L
