Here's one of the 25 songs from the Leap's Learning Band. This song teaches numbers, and... UP AND DOWN again?! We had the "Itsy Bitsy Spider", now it's the mouse going up the clock and down again.

"Hickory Dickory Dock" or "Hickety Dickety Dock" is a popular English-language nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 6489.

The earliest recorded version of the rhyme is in Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book, published in London in about 1744, which uses the opening line: 'Hickere, Dickere Dock'. The next recorded version in Mother Goose's Melody (c. 1765), uses 'Dickery, Dickery Dock'.

The rhyme is thought by some commentators to have originated as a counting-out rhyme. Westmorland shepherds in the nineteenth century used the numbers Hevera (8), Devera (9) and Dick (10) which are from the language Cumbric.

The rhyme is thought to have been based on the astronomical clock at Exeter Cathedral. The clock has a small hole in the door below the face for the resident cat to hunt mice.

Lyrics:
Hickory dickory dock, 
The mouse ran up the clock. 
The clock struck one, mouse ran down, 
Hickory dickory dock.

Stephanie is my name, music is my game -- welcome to my Merry Musical Museum of Sounds, Songs and Soundfonts! I'm an exciting 30-year-old Korean-American female who is a huge fan of Nostalgic stuff and I am also a musician (with a good musical ear or musical skills) who makes tunes with soundfonts from games and toys, as well as musical mashups and song covers too. I also upload game music (includes LeapFrog LeapPad and My First LeapPad music too) and other songs, with credit to others. I will upload my music, mashups, song covers, rare songs and video game tunes on here when I feel like it. 

My other interests are anime, art, cute things, animated movies and series, and drawing.

Note: Please wait. Sometimes posting things here takes a while. Plus patience is a virtue.
