The Underwear Song

Kids find this song HILARIOUS!

  • Terrific for choirs singing in unison!
  • Useful for teaching the melodic element 'di' (sharpened do).
  • Try keeping a 'ta, ti tum, sa' ostinato on different percussion instruments to reinforce the 'ti tum' rhythm!
  • There are some great examples of melodic sequences in this song, e.g. bars 1-8 with 9-16!
