Who stole the cookie?

When we were making Super Simple Songs 2, we wanted to include a song version of the popular kids chant/game "Who Took/Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Jar?"  We spent a ton of time on various versions...including one ill-fated attempt at a big bawdy number with me singing in my best (or worst depending how you look at it) Vegas-era Elvis voice.  Finally, Troy put down a very simple but fun and funky beat and we settled on a little chant  that took very little time to actually record.  Naturally, the most basic, least complicated song on a CD full of simple songs was one of  the most popular among our young students.  We should have known.  You can hear a clip at cdBaby.

Here is an adorable video of some kindergarten students in Korea performing their hard-boiled detective story version of "Who Stole the Cookie".  Priceless.  Just a heads up...the queen in the story says "Kiss my hand."

You can read more about the teacher's (director) experiences teaching in Korea here.
