Smile time #1

On 16/08/2019 By Peter's ponderingIn community, friends, happiness, language, New blogs to follow, Smile time, song

There are many things in life that make me smile, and I like to smile! It is so much easier than frowning, or grimacing.

I have decided to, occasionally, pass things on that I happen across that have made me smile. The first is something that I included in a comment on Colleen Brown’s lovely blog, The Chatter Blog. If you’ve never read any of Colleen’s words, or seen her delightful drawings, I can guarantee that you will find many a smile amongst her wise words and insightful sketches.

So, without further ado, here is my very first Smile time! The Ging Gang Goolie song.

It’s a gibberish song, widely spread around the world and popular among Scouts and Girl Guides as a campfire “round”. Originally Scandinavian. Sounds as though these are East European children. I bet you smiled!

Happy days. Yes, I remember it well. And I taught my grandson to sing it too. Nothing if not cultured, me….

  Children love a bit of nonsense. I’ve never quite grown out of it myself!

    It’s good to be in touch with our inner four year old.

I’ve been trying to remember when I first sang this one. Was it when I was a brownie or was it the youth club camping trips. Though come to think of it the youth club sing-songs were usually led by the rugby lads so probably not! Anyway, love it!

That takes me back to cold nights huddled around a fire in the scouts. Thanks for that 😉
