RE: My Halloween special: The Itsy Bitsy Spider. A Creepy version of the nursery rhyme with my own extended lyrics + making of + mythology and folklore about spiders

in Music2 years ago

That's a great one for Halloween. I've sung the song plenty of times as a kid and with my own kids, but you took it to a different place and the video is excellent.

We have a lot of spiders living in our house. They help control the flies and moths :) Sometimes we get a big one run across the floor. They are known as Hertfordshire Hairies. They are harmless. They seem to come inside when it gets colder, so may see some around now.

I don't kill spiders. Some of the bigger ones get caught with a cup and tossed outside.

Sort:  

Omg "hairies" might be the perfect cute word for them. I checked and the big chunky one in the video is similar, they just hunt. I do not kill them either, we have an understanding.
And thanks for the listen, I loved extending the lyrics. I think in UK is Incy Wincy?

Yes, it's Incy Wincy here. There are some hand actions to go with it.

Yes, I think that's always been part of the many versions of the song, though I found It was best for the atmosphere not to do them :) to remain mysterioooooouuuuus :)
