That's kind of sad, actually, it's taken him 18 months to even try?

Ok, people. I am looking for an album we had on tape when I was little. It was all zoo themed. One song was called "Rubber blubber whale", one has a verse that went "My rhinoceros likes donuts", there was a song about "bats eat bugs (they don't eat people)" and it had a poem called either "Albert and the Lion" or "The Lion and Albert", depending on source. I think the album was called "Going to the Zoo". But I can't even find a listing for it with Google. Any bright ideas? There are several kids' cds with this name but none of the ones that are coming up are the right ones.

I would be a hero with my family if I found a copy of this for my youngest brother for Christmas...

Doesn't ring a bell...which is surprising considering just how many kids tapes we went through over the years...

In other news, I wonder if I could make 50k if I just started a new story and wrote like crazy.

I hate my characters, I hate my story, and I don't know how to make them kill each other like they're supposed to.

Try looking for Raffi on Amazon.com, and it will likely show you some other performers of children's songs as well. There was a trio; two women, one man, who did a TV show, and they did lots of songs like that, but I can't remember them. I just remember a song that they did in Spanish that I just loved about an elephant balancing on a spider's web.

OK, here's a couple I found that both have "Rubber Blubber Whale" which was written by Si Kahn, of folksinging fame. The first CD is by John McCutcheon, who is an awesome singer and hammered dulcimer player. It's called Howjadoo. The next one is by Charlotte Diamond, and is called Diamonds and Dragons. I don't know anything about her.

You could listen to both and see if anything sounds familiar.
