[HANASHIR:1731] Re: Barney

The big purple dinosaur (who I reluctantly admit adorns my 3 year old's bed)
used Debbie's song WITHOUT permission and was subsequently sued for some small
sum of money.  Little did Ms. Friedman know that the video would end up
selling millions of copies.  (she should have sued for royalties!) 

To me, the most horrible part was that the 2 groups who sang the English and
French alphabets on that video did so flawlessly and the group who did the
Alef Bet pronounced the words incorrectly...this was not Barney's fault...
these were kids from a Solomon Schechter pre-school and someone at the school
should have known better.  That is embarrassing!

Anyway, don't buy the video... it's enough to make you (is there a politically
correct word for puke?)
