  Subject: [HANASHIR:10760] Purim Parody Songs


  A couple of days ago I sent an email to the group asking for simple Purim 
songs, preferably parodies of well known tunes, to teach in my 15 minute music 
classes this Sunday.  I thank you for the response and words for My Hat It Has 
Three Corners.  This was a "special request" and will definitely be on the 
agenda.   

  Since I didn't see any other songs come through on our list, I thought I'd 
share a few that I just now located in a misplaced file.  These may be very 
well know to most of you, but I imagine there are a few other newcomers on the 
list that might be interested. While there are many wonderful Purim songs, my 
challenge, at the last minute, is to teach my students three songs they could 
sing at the end of classes during a Purim parade.  Most of my students are 
under 7. 

  Here are the titles and the tunes.  If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to 
email the words to you. 

  When You Hear The Name of Hamen - Tune is If You're Happy and You Know It 
  Who's the Uncle of the Queen? - Tune is Hinky Dinky Parley-Vous (a personal 
favorite) 
  Purim Folk - Tune is Old MacDonald 
  The Courtship - Tune is Daisy, Daisy 
  Vashti's Song - Tune is Sippin' Cider 
  Brave Queen Esther - Tune is Short'nin' Bread 

  For a "quick, learn the songs to sing at the end of classes" song list, I 
recommend When You Hear the Name of Hamen and Who's the Uncle of the Queen.  
Very repetitive.  The first one also has several movements.
