Download Buttercup Song !!LINK!!
Seronica Barnes
I haven't listened to ABBA since childhood basically but after watching that movie Eurovision decided to check out their songs. As soon as I heard waterloo i was like "wait i know this song" but couldn't remember which one it was, i tried research credits or any allusion to a cover song but couldn't find any. Finally I remembered some random lyrics and found it. The resemblance is uncanny, but I can't find any accusations of plagiarism or court cases or anything similar except for some really old forums posts of random people discussing it. Am I missing something?
All Around the Buttercup is a folk song with an easy game that you can play with your kindergarten and first grade students. The song works well for practicing quarter rest, as well as practicing re.
The benefit of using this song and game in kindergarten, is that you can introduce it again in first grade to teach quarter rest. To reinforce the concept of rest, ask students to lower their hands and put one finger to their lips during each rest.
What did you notice about the song when you put your finger to your lips?
Were you singing on that beat or were you silent?
Do you think silent beats are part of the song?
If we wrote a silent beat down on paper, what do you think it would look like?
