the Barney song

I have spent a huge quantity of my life listening to the Barney Song.

Jimmy, at 18, still watches Barney, and Andrew is obsessed. This morning when I glanced inside Andrew's bedroom I saw a small plush Barney toy standing bolt upright in the middle of the floor wearing an enormous wide-brimmed straw walking hat from Australia.

Here in my parallel universe, he looked a bit like a Canadian Mounty.

Needless to say, Christopher loathes the Barney song. He probably hasn't gone a day of his life without hearing it, so he's entitled.

Well, guess what?

I have just this moment discovered a Barney Verb Song!
