Somewhere James Brown Is Smiling... -

The safety songs for kids genre is a uniquely odd and amusing thing. Valuable, no doubt. (In fact, we know of at least one instance where a song definitely saved a life.) But for those of us more accustomed to Chuck Brown than Chuck E. Cheese, these songs can sound pretty weird.

After Nate found Jim Post’s Learn Not To Burn cassette yesterday, and Scott left this gem in the comments, I got to searching around for even more safety songs for kids.

Here, my dear readers, is the cream of the crop. The one I just CAN’T get out of my head. (Skip to about 1:00 in for the actual song. And if you watch it you’ll get my post title.)

It’s Hot!! (Don’t Touch It!) by Uncle Rock & The Playthings

P.S. No offense to these songs. I love them. (Because, as you know, I love cheesy songs.)
