amazing_holly's bedtime song

[miss_s_b]

Those of you who have been following my adventures in parenthood will know that one of the things amazing_holly likes best is stars. She loved George's Secret Key to the Universe, and she has a bunch of books about stars from Zoo in the Sky to Cosmos, and she likes to sleep with her blind open so that she can look out at them at night.

Her lullaby, therefore, for many years now, has been Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Tonight, however, she decided she wanted something different, and she asked for something funny. I thought for a few minutes, and then I came up with this:



She loved it. I think it'll be a little while before I let her see the video, though.

Heh - I have those lyrics pretty much tattooed on my delicious brain meats ;)

She has brilliant taste, I wonder where she gets it from ;)

How does she feel about Saturn's new ring?

ALSO THIS

AWESOME!

She told me off for calling it a new ring. She told me it's NOT a new ring, it's always been there, it's just that nobody knew before.

[innerbrat]

...I love her.

[miss_s_b]

me too ♥

(also: she keeps telling people that the sunflowers that she grew are in-floor-essences and not flowers. I blame you :))

My work here is done.

I believe this is the icon you require, Modom.

Best lullaby ever.

Due to a sheltered childhood, the first time I ever heard that song was at a Christian lecture on science. You can guess which bit they hamfistedly edited out of the video.

As part payback, I presume you're aware that the Sun is a mass of incandescent gas, also with rawk variant.

And while googling for the above, I find that there's a sequel: The Sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma. More accurate, but less catchy.

Ach, you prudish island types. ;-)

Still, great choice of song: Catchy, funny and educational. What more can you want?
