The Monkey and the Engineer - Johnny Bregar

Hi Everyone - here's my version of The Monkey and the Engineer, the first in a new series of music videos for kids that I plan to post up. The new series will feature me playing and singing, as well as giving some lessons online for kids who want to learn how to play and sing some fun, easy tunes.

This is the song version, but if you don't know, there's a great BOOK version here: http://monkeyandtheengineer.com/. We love the book at our house - it's really fun. See if you can pick out the differences between the way I sing it and how the book is written. Why do you think that is?

Dood, nice cover of this.

I've been working on this because I have kids now. are you covering the dead song or the blues song?

Thanks! This is sort of a slightly modified Dead version. I don't sing the traditional melody on the "Once upon a time" (root, fourth, sixth). For some reason I started singing it this way and it just stuck!
