I sanged it while washing dishes, or bathing my grandchildren. Ofcourse I didn't remember all the words, this is a good thing. Now, I'll be able to teach my younger grandchildren this song, so it just might be stuck in their heads for decades as well...💜Carolyn F.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709132985722085851.post-3318578177935891032024-01-31T10:00:37.456-08:002024-01-31T10:00:37.456-08:00Something made this song pop into my head today an...Something made this song pop into my head today and I Googled it to see if I’m the only person in the world to remember it.

I learned the song in elementary school music class around 1964. At the time, I had no idea that I would go on and paddle kayaks for the rest of my life.

Then all of a sudden the first line came to me. Umiak, Kayad, Mukluk, Tupik. I remember I was in grade school when I learned that song. I Goggled it and here I am. I couldn't believe that I actually remembered the tune. Says a lot about our young brains. I wonder how much other stuff is in there from my childhood that I thought that I had forgotten.Kevin Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910255404211560006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709132985722085851.post-60837130242151309702020-09-01T13:01:11.222-07:002020-09-01T13:01:11.222-07:00Omg I'm 60 years old and I just found myself s...Omg I'm 60 years old and I just found myself singing this song. I knew that the last time I sang it or heard it was probably 50 or more years ago. And I remembered almost all of the words.

I learned it in the 60s in elementary school. No one I know is familiar with this song. Your blog is the only place I could find the lyrics. And I love the music. Now if only I could find someone singing it somewhere online.
