 It's time! It's time! It's time! For what? For the Curious Giraffe Show! Sit back and relax, we'll sing chat and laugh, go on the Curious Giraffe Show! I am so happy each of you could be here today, and I like for Jeanette, our hand puppet giraffe, to help us know who's who on the Curious Crew each time. And today I've asked Joelle if she will help Jeanette introduce our crew today. Go ahead. What's your name? Joelle? Hi Joelle! Hi Joelle! What's your name? Hi Arielle! Hi Arielle! Hi Arielle! Hi Arielle! Hi Arielle! Hi Arielle! Hi Arielle! Hi Emily! What's your name? Julia! Hi Julia! What's your name? Hi Nancy! Hi everybody! I'm glad to be back together and so now we've met each other and this is Jeanette. Oh it's just waiting for her to have a turn. I'm just so delighted to have you back and I want to swatch and listen and sometimes sing and sometimes ask questions and sometimes answer questions. But I also want you to meet my good friend George. He's different than me but we like each other a lot. He loves to watch and look around and listen but he doesn't talk very much. That's okay. We're all different but we all belong. So we're going to sing a song about that. And you can hold the eagle who's different than the giraffe. You turn around so the friends at home can see. There you go. Okay. And we'll sing the words and then remember the sign language for the chorus. Giraffe looked over at the eagle and said why was I born to walk? Why were you born to fly? Eagle just shrugged and gave a high five. Hey we all share one big sky. Oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah we're different and we know and but we all get along. Because we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. Very nice. Now here's our new verse for today. Giraffe looked over at the singers and said have you ever made up lyrics and the tunes to all your songs? The singers just let's try. We won't take one underneath this one big sky. Oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah we're different and we know and but we all get along. Because we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. We're just saying the verse but in your own words what are they wanting to know today? Julia? How to make up the lyrics in the words to all the songs. That's right. So that's a new word I wanted us to stop and think about for a minute. Lyrics. Do you know what the word lyric means? Okay Julia. The lyrics are what the words to all the songs are. Like yeah. It's just the words. But when they say lyric you know it means the words in a song. All right very nice. So last time we did songs that were made up from our imagination. And the time before that we did songs about real life, life that had happened. So I'm curious has anybody tried to make up their own song? Julia have you? Would you share it with us? Okay what was it about? I forgot because I made it a long time ago. Uh huh. Exactly. That's something that happens to me too. I can make up a song and then I try to remember it later and I go oh shucks. But you know what we're going to do today? We're going to work together and I'm going to write down. Okay did you all make up a song at your house? Lauren made up a couple. Lauren did. Lauren what were your songs about? Sophie makes up at least five every day. And Sophie is your sister too? Yeah. And how old is she? She's four. Oh my goodness. Well good for Sophie. And Lauren you like to make up songs? Well this is a great show for you to be on. So I thought did you want to sing any of your songs? No that's fine I understand. But I thought let's try writing a song together and we'll start with a tune that we already know. So what I did was I wrote out a new verse for the giraffe song. Giraffe looked over at and we're going to choose someone new for giraffe to ask a question. Anybody have an idea? Who should giraffe look at to ask a question? Doni what's your idea? A turkey. Turkey? Okay I'm going to write in the word turkey. Giraffe looked over at turkey. Everybody be thinking because you know what the next question is going to be. And said so what would giraffe want to ask a turkey? Julia you have an idea? Why do you have feathers? Okay. Why do I have fur? Awesome. Okay. Why do you have feathers? Why do I awesome? So who is going to shrug? Who is it? Who is our song to? Anybody call it out. Turkey. All right yes. So turkey just shrugged. What's his answer going to be? Why do you have feathers? Why do I have fur? What might the turkey say back? I think I was born by an egg. Because I came from an egg. Let's see how that works. Why do you have feathers? Why do I have fur? Turkey just shrugged because I came from an egg. You all like that? Yeah. Okay what a fun song. That's what's fun about when you write your own song. You fill in the words. Cause I... And what do you know about things that came from an egg? They're slimy at first. How did you know that? Then they grow their feathers. How did you know they're slimy when they first come out of an egg? Because I checked my cloths and they hatched. Okay you got to see them right when they hatched. Yeah and they're really wet and they peep. Well they're hatching. Cool. Anybody else have another idea of why turkeys have feathers and giraffes have fur? This is a tough question. I'm just curious. I don't have a right or wrong answer. Are there any other thoughts about why a turkey has feathers? Okay Julia. Because to impress the female. Oh to impress the female. Cool. So I can get attention. So you will like me. So I can impress. So I can get the female. That's harder to fit in there though. But it's a thoughtfully answer. Okay so let's sing our new song. Okay. You just made a new verse to a song we already know. Okay. Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said Giraffe looked over at turkey and said different than we know it but we all get along because we can all share and we can all care we're different but we all belong that is fun and then you could talk about eggs, can you think of another animal that comes from an egg? birds, and they have feathers like turkey great, yes Ariel, chickens come from eggs that's exactly right penguins come from eggs, do they have feathers? so far, yes fish come from eggs they have a different kind of egg, don't they? but they don't have feathers, so that's an interesting thought Emily, platypus no, what do platypuses have? they have web feet, what else do platypuses have? let's finish this animal first fins and scales some things that come from eggs have feathers some have scales and fins, some have web feet and I think a platypus actually has fur that's a tricky one others have scales like dinosaurs came from eggs salamanders and what is on their body? they definitely have webs and they have little fingers and a swan do they have feathers? ducks come from eggs so your song can grow and grow, you could write more verses about different animals, now I'm going to challenge us a new way I don't know what you'll do with it, this is a song I've started writing and I have not finished and I wondered if you might help me think of more ideas about it, but I don't have the middle part yet it goes like this children have a lot to say they see things in a different way and they've been told that one fine day they will inherit the earth children have a lot to say they see things in a different way and they've been told that one fine day will inherit the earth would you all are children and I'm going to start with a blank page and think about what would you like to say if you could say whatever you wanted to say what would you say maybe about the earth okay does anybody love to write Julia you want to be our writer, the earth is big okay thank you so we won't forget our ideas now you had an idea what would you say in the song I would say that the earth provides oxygen what else if you were telling the world about something important to you it has other planets on it there are other planets do you have another idea for the song chickens live on the earth, chickens live on the earth, this is going to be a fun song all kinds of ideas maybe that's enough for now let's put that into our song and see what this could be we hear the siren don't we here we go let's start with our chorus and try to add our words I think I'm going to get quiet if you have a tune in your head children have a lot to say they say things in a different way we have a tune for the second part go the same tune a little bit the earth is big makes that a little longer the earth provides our oxygen there are other planets too and chickens live on the earth, it's fun they have a lot to say they say things in a clearer way okay now we're going to do something fun we're going to not have to think of words but we're going to add rhythm so I've brought different kinds of rhythm pass it on ready? I said I'm going to move my hands like this and I want you to keep playing with no words you're going to make a song that has no words, go for it faster, like a dance, that was so fun okay we only have time for one last song so many stars you can't count them all each little star is a great fireball and I also wrote a new verse to it for so many songs each little song is a gift to us all home by yourself or in a big concert hall the music keeps coming for one and for all so here we go, this is our last song for today so many stars there's a great fireball from far away which on a light will there well the light switch once just a dream try singing with me, here we go so many stars or just sit, wear so many songs the people from these were made by an aboriginal art here we go, let's join hands and say keep singing, keep looking up keep giving up keep
