Episode 151 - There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly

Fuse 8 n' Kate

Happy Labor Day! Or, as we say on the podcast, Merry Labor Day! Today is not the first song-turned-picture-book we've done on the show (that honor went to The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night). However, it is most certainly the first (and quite possibly last) to include die-cuts. Kate wonders whether or not the "old lady" feels pissed off about being called "old" (as we attempt to sing "There was a spry lady who swallowed a fly") while Betsy launches into any number of tangents, like how gross flies are. One thing Kate and Betsy do agree on though: This woman is capable of unhinging her jaw. Awesome. Show Notes: Okay. Here is where the polling comes in. Do people "wolf" down their food or "woof" down their food? We need YOUR vote on this matter: http://www.strawpoll.me/20899100 The Weston Woods video is read by Cindi Lauper.

The Judy Collins on the Muppet show one brought back a LOT of memories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC_xO2aN_IA For the full show notes please visit: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2020/09/07/fuse-8-n-kate-there-was-an-old-lady-who-swallowed-a-fly-by-simms-taback/
