Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some
interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo Kids songs.
Oh hello, I've just learned a new skill, knitting. Do
you know someone who knits? It's pretty fun. I want

(00:27):
to make a scarf for each of my Lingo Kids' friends.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Today, we're exploring an important place for all knitters. Can
you guess where it is? Here's a hint. That's right,
a sheep farm. The farmer is about to shear or
cut the sheep's fleece. Billy is asking what fleece is. Well,

(00:53):
fleece is similar to hair or fur. We will need
this fleece to knit our wool scarbs, just like human hair.
Fleece keeps growing, and sheep need a haircut or a
fleece cut so they don't overheat. Let's check out some
of the different sheep and decide what color scarves we want. Billy,

(01:16):
do you see a color you like? Nice choice? That
lamb or baby sheep is a California red. Its fleece
is a beautiful reddish brown now, but it will grow
a different color when it's older. How about you, Elliot,
what color do you want? Black? And white, the colors

(01:36):
of me super will get wool from the Jacob a
British sheep. It looks a bit like a cow, white
with black spots. Its skin is white and black too,
and look it has four horns on its head. Oo okay, Lisa,
you're next. Pink, We can do that. White fleece is

(01:59):
very popular. It can be dyed any color you want. Hooray, Okay, Calie,
it's your turn. Do you want a fun color like Lisa?

Speaker 2 (02:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Oh, all right, what color would you like?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Black?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Look, there's one black lamb mixed in with all of
those white sheep. The color of a lamb can be
different from its parents. Have you heard the phrase the
black sheep of the family. Yes, it means that one
is not like the others. And we know being different
is something to celebrate, right right. In fact, some ranchers

(02:39):
put one black sheep in with every one hundred white sheep.
That way they know that if a black sheep is missing,
other sheep from the flock are probably missing too. So
you see, being different from the group can be very helpful.
That's music too, is well? Then let's sing a song

(02:59):
about different colors of wool. Ready, here we.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Go, Bob Black Sheep, any wolf, yes, serious, sir. Three

(03:34):
bags wools, one.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
For the master and one for the day, one for
the little boy who lands down the lane, Bob Black Sheep,
any wool, yes, serious, sir. Three bags foods, one the

(04:00):
pig and one for the horse, and one for the
farmer and his dog of horse. Bob Black Sheep. Have
you any spots, yes, sir, Yes, sir.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Iron have bloods.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
One is purple and one is red, and one is
rainbow colored on my head, Bob Black Sheep. Have you
any friends, yes, sir, Yes, sir. By the fence, here

(04:44):
is the chicken and here is the cow. Let's saucing
the son together. Now, Bob Black Sheep, have you any boom? Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Free bags boom, one oh the faster, and one for
the day, and one for the little boy, and live

(05:05):
down the lay. One for the master, and one before
the day, and one for the little boy lives down
the lay. One for the master, and one before the day,
and one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Now that was music to our ears. We hope you
like the song. You can sing it all day long.
What makes you stand out? From the flock. Think about it.
