I don't know how I know this song.. well the chorus to the song but, i have been randomly singing it for years. Just turned 29 and I still remember it. Have no clue as to where I learned it tho. Glad I ran across this.
Yes BodyoftheRADIOHEAD, I have thought the same thing! Especially since the first time I heard it I had just seen The Lovely Bones and it made me think of that!!
I always used to sing this in class, and my bestfriend would love it, and beg me to sing it again and again. She left me for the 'popular group,' and we barely talk anymore. And whenever I listen to this song, I remember how close we were, and I start crying, cause I miss her so much, and how happy she seems, without me...
I've ALWAYS thought this song sounded kinda perverted, even when I first heard it as a kid. And FYI, you've got some typos in your lyrics in this vid.
Has anyone ever noticed that her songs have random numbers in them? At the end of this song she says "1234" and in Hey Na Na she goes "5557172... 5557172..."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hey guys just letting you know that this song is about luring a kid into their cellar and keeping them there. I looked up this video because a friend mentioned it, so next time you listen to this "happy song", think about the lyrics. :)
Ring around the rosie has also been a childhood song for decades, but that doesn't stop it from being about the black plague. NOT that I agree with LeFatNinja, but fact is that a lot of childhood songs contain warnings. It is a cute song though.
We used to say "slide down my rain barrel onto my cellar door" which makes sense historically as this is a rhyme from the 1800s, I believe -- no one has a rainbow to slide down -- and you don't slide INTO a cellar door! Cellar doors were slanted doors on the outside of a house leading under the house where root vegetables and things were kept over long periods of time in sand.
"climb up my apple tree, shout down my rain barrel, slide down my celler door and we'll be jolly friends for ever more". They updated the words, no one would know what a rain barrel is any more, or even a celler door. This is a very old song.
hah my grandpa always sings this song...and no one ever knew what he was singing aboutt ... haha but only the chorus we thought he was making it up but we just found this song and have no idea how he learned it hahahah
@MusicShop94 I don't usually log in to youtube, but your comment made me choke on my tea & laugh, so i HAD to log in & say something. Thank you for brightening my day.
i love the target add with this song but does "climb up my apple tree slide down my rainbow into my cellar door and well be jolly friends" sound sus to any one else???
Love the tune, love the voice BUT good to know I'm not the only one out there who finds the lyrics to this song a little ' not quite right ' for a kids advert !!!!!!!
@BodyoftheRADIOHEAD No.. I guess we see or hear what is in our own heart, not perversion. This has been a fun childhood song for decades! Get your own mind out of the gutter.
@sportyfemme64 my mind is fine in the gutter its more fun..i laugh at the words wet, hard, come, whip anything in the slightest way dirty really...its fun you should try it maybe then you will lose them frown lines
I love this song so much, Target chose a great song for their new commercial, it's so captivating!! Makes you wanna go out and shop for your kids at Target lol
I just had to come here to find that song. My mum used to sing it to me when i was very young ( 1960's) and told me today her mum used to sing it to her when she was a little girl ( she is 72yrs old) so indicates the age of the "original" version of the song.... Oh and I love the girls hair style in the clip
Reading everyone's comments; I'm no longer secretly ashamed that I tracked this down by Googling "Target Apple Tree Song" - thanks guys! Such a sweet innocent song, I love it.
It's just like the time I fell in love with the Free Design's "Love You" after seeing that Drumstick ad. THESE ADS, THEY'RE MAKING ME WATCH THEM WITH THEIR FUNKY SONGS.
Target Australia used this song in their We Love Kids ad! And I have been trying to find out what it was ever since I saw it on TV, but they only play like, 15 seconds of it!
I'm so glad I found it, because her voice is so adorable =D
You know how long I've been trying to find a version of this song? I've asked people, sung the lyrics I remember, and nothing. Since I was seven. Seriously.
But pop in some lyrics on youtube and BLAM! Here it is. Sweet.
