Great song and video - our 6 year was sitting here mesmerised by it all, if she loves something then it's really great! Was that Helen Darling on background vocals? We loved it!

Why don't you tell everyone in class to go to youtube to hear your songs?  Everyone would learn so much just by hearing them!
