CHILDREN'S SONGS

Our thematic song sampler... KIDS KLASSICS, Volume 1, gathered together 52 songs ranging from Shirley Temple novelties to gentle lullabies…songs about animals, birds and rodents, scary witches, magic motor vehicles and even someone who can really fly! Plus, there are appearances by much-loved characters such as The Chipmunks, Bozo The Clown, The California Raisins and young Dorothy on the road to Oz. And don't be surprised if you hear catch-phrases such as "I Taut I Taw A Puddy Tat" as the songs unfold their many secrets!

Following is a selection of classic EMI children's songs, including those
