Yes, this is about the children's song.
My one year old does not love car rides and if it is a long car ride and/or close to naptime, she would rather scream for forty minutes than fall asleep like all these kids I hear about who think motor vehicles are equivalent to sedatives. The only thing we have found that calms her down and eventually puts her to sleep is to sing Old Macdonald. Over. And. Over. And. Over.
I think the longest we've sung it is an hour. (Trust me, it's better than hearing her scream, but not by much!)
Occasionally she'll be satisfied with other songs, "If You're Happy and You Know It", "Wheels on The Bus", etc but usually she keeps crying until we sing Macdonald. We've even resorted to "Old Macdonald's Exotic Animal Farm" to give us more scope but we usually only make it fifteen minutes before we have to start repeating ourselves.
So I have a challenge for all you creative
permie people! Can you help me come up with new things to sing about on Old Macdonald's farm?
What would be on Old Macdonald's Regenerative/Permaculture Farm?
If you're not familiar, the format is:
"Old Macdonald had a farm,
E I E I O
And on that farm he had a [type of animal]
E I E I O
With a [animal sound] and a [animal sound] there.
Here a [sound], there a [sound], everywhere a [sound, sound]"
And so on...
So I need a noun followed by the sound that noun would make.
