Kidsongs: Yankee Doodle Dandy



Kids musical video series
-Year: 1986
-Year in film: ~1770s ?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boys ~8-13?, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium
-Rating:  5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Some boys at different age and some men in mostly or all hickory striped bibs. Early setting about 18th (early settlers LHOTP setting) and/or early 19th century. And maybe also later. At least one boy with a straw hat. Campfire scene at the end (last pic).

One or 2 kids looking quite feminine but probably they are all boys and the girls wearing dresses. Women but probably not in bibs. I think riding scenes, but I haven't found any good close-up scenes in bibs yet.

I'm still very busy and only checked this complete episode at highspeed (original YouTube channel). There is also a preview on the Country Sing-Along DVD.

Only few songs are very good and catchy. And I don't like hickory striped bibs. There are also more handsome kids in other episodes.

At least one song is also on "Kidsongs TV Show: Practice Makes Perfect" (but this looks like from a VHS source). Showing a younger boy in bibs (unpictured). Clip of pic 2 is called "I've Been Working on the Railroad" boys and girls (hickory stripes, and great boy in regular bibs), VHS is called Home on the Range (also see my western blog). DVD was later re-issued as Sing Out, America!.

Pic 1 is from There's a Hole in My Bucket. Great baggy bibs and straw hat. Maybe it's Paul Smith (A Day at Old MacDonalds Farm). Full view on the update. He's also sitting at the beginning.
