Unfortunately I can't load the video onto my blog, so you can't see how cute and funny my kids are. However, it saves you the discomfort of watching my wobbly, blurry video. (The autofocus was having a hard time.)
The song is "There's a Hole in the Bucket."
This song is a conversation between "Henry" and "Liza" over how to fix a hole in a bucket in order to haul water. It is also a circular song, meaning that the end meets back up with the beginning and if you wanted to you could just keep on singing all night long.

And here's a great recording of the song by Henry Belafonte and Odetta
We picked this song for several reasons
- It had two parts and there were two kids involved
- The verses flow logically from one to the next so it's easy to remember the words
- There is good comedic potential
- It isn't by Taylor Swift (Ok, we like Taylor as much as anybody, but she is pretty popular in elementary school talent shows.)
If anyone really wants to see the video, let me know and I'll email it to you.
