[ajaweeder]

[TLW016]

i nevered pictured the tempo/beat like this,when i was little i sung it much differently lol x) still love it though,i still have all the books,and i'm 20 lol,ahhh memories

[SirAaronfanfreak]

I've recently been reading all these stories XD

Weird song... Makes me think of when my idol's gonna die.

[hockey0girl]

love playing this on the piano. I song it with slightly different lyrics though; "have youvever thought, as the hearse goes by, that sooner or later you're going to die? yo ho, yo ho! they wrap you up in a big white sheet, and drop you down about six feet deep, yo ho, yo ho! the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play pinochle on your snout! yo ho, yo ho, ho!"

[StickWarrior]

The version we sang as kids was more upbeat and happy. I always thought it was much more creepier that way. But this versions nice too.

[RitsumeiAoyagi]

@StickWarrior i sing it like a melody my dad and brother get all silent and they told me i sound like the girl that sang the intsy bitsy spider for this one horror movie XD so every halloween i sing this at the stroke of midnight! and my bro runs out screaming XD this year i grabbed his arm and said DEAD! in a deep voice! XD

[kymmirox]

Omg I read all of the books

The one story I recall was "The Viper"

"I vant to vash your vindows"

[TypeANegative]

Whenever I read these books as a kid, I found it reeeaaally hard to sleep afterwards, even if I read them in the daytime. I've never seen illustrations that get under your skin like these. *shivers*

Gotta Love the Irish Working Songs. Once saw The Pogues sing this live. I recall these books from my youth, they raised me betetr than my parents ever did.

[RBRiky]

[TCSMusicChannel]

It's a card game (though I've never actually played it myself).

[RBRiky]

[scoobydoorutro3]

[TCSMusicChannel]

@scoobydoorutro3

If the YouTube video isn't working, you can find an audio-only version at our MySpace page. The URL for that page can be found in the video description.

[macyraylay]

i loved this book its my favorite

[pointedancer4eva]

the singer kinda sounds like mariyln manson

[TripleMoonGoddess19]

Really GREAT!!!

[Gerardlover80]

I love this series...and the cover. :D

[Rikku2250]

FOrgot to say, the book i have has a isffient cover to that one in the pic, it has a skull coming out of the groudn in front of a house.

[TCSMusicChannel]

@Rikku2250

Yeah... the cover art pictured in the video is from the 25th Anniversary edition of the book. I prefer this cover myself - I think it has a much more striking and unsettling feel to it. But I do like the other cover as well, and I believe there's a picture of it somewhere in the video.

[Rikku2250]

I have this book, and this is my favourite poem in it, this and "The Slippery-Dee"

Is this you singing? If so i like your accent ^_^

[TCSMusicChannel]

@Rikku2250

In response to your other query - yes, that is indeed me singing (and a friend of mine on guitar). And thanks; I appreciate the compliment.

[unojamericangurl]

[dirtynerd001]

[thatgothkid1]

I think marlyin Manson should do a cover to this song XD

[tsvate]
