Gummy Bear Canzone

[Edward]

I'm a Gummy Bear (The Gummy Bear Song)" is a novelty dance song by Gummibr, in reference to the gummy bear, a type of bear-shaped candy originating in Germany. It was written by German composer Christian Schneider and released by Gummibr's label Gummybear International. The song was first released in Hungary, where it spent eight months as number one atop the ringtones chart.[3]

Subsequently, it became a global phenomenon as an Internet meme, in large part due to its corresponding videos on YouTube and MySpace.[1] It has since been released in at least 43 languages, and the English version alone has spread virally worldwide, with more than 3 billion plays on YouTube alone.

The French version ("Funny Bear") was written by Peter Kitsch. The French music video has over 512 million views on YouTube as of 2 January 2023[update], making it one of the top-10 most-viewed French videos on the site.[4] It peaked at number eight on the French Singles Chart.[5]

With the song ready-made for ringtone use, one critic[who?] commented "he's the ultimate cross-platform, cross-cultural phenomenon YouTube was designed to unleash."[6] It is heard on his debut album I Am Your Gummy Bear released in 2007. Since the song's release, many songs, including a cover of "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", have been released by Gummibr.

Several versions have been released in many languages. The song was originally released in German[7] and English, and, as mentioned, the French version has received more than half a billion views.[8] Gummibr released a whole album of their new languages on YouTube.[9]

Gummibr is a blue-eyed, highly-stylized, green gummy bear. He is slightly overweight and wears orange Y-front briefs and white sneakers. He also seems to have a half-chewed right ear. His muzzle, or mustache and goatee, are sugar-crusted and with only two small teeth spaced far apart on his lower jaw.

In 2006, the video, a 30-second CGI pop promo animated in Softimage XSI, was directed, designed and animated by Pete Dodd and was produced through Wilfilm in Copenhagen for Ministry of Sound GmbH in Berlin.[13]

I Am A Gummy Bear (widely known as The Gummy Bear Song) is Gummibr's debut song and was released along with the album I Am Your Gummy Bear, as well as having its own single and being remixed/dubbed in many different languages.

The short 30 second version features Gummibr in a white and blue gradial void with a star-like symbol on the ground dancing and performing the song. One of his notable dance moves involve him spinning on one finger and another where he shakes his rear end at the screen.

The long version (2m30s) features all the previous scenes from the short version plus a few more, including Gummibr bouncing his car in Hollywood, skateboarding across the town, playing the tuba in a park, dancing in the city, standing inside of the Statue of Liberty and performing at a concert to an audience of other gummy bears.

The inspiration for the song struck Christian Schneider while he was enjoying a beer at a restaurant in Germany, where he encountered a muse, his bartender. In a whimsical moment, she referred to him as her Gummy Bear. Taken aback, Christian initially responded with disbelief, uttering, "No...what?" However, in the very next moment, he playfully retorted, "I'm Your Gummy Bear." This simple interaction sparked a brilliant idea in Christian's mind, and he promptly recorded a tune on his old Sony Walkman.[1]

Christian began working on the concept for the Gummibr character, along with the lyrics and sound recordings. Maci Schneider, his son, was in charge as the producer and vocalist of the song, with Leon Mancilla also doing the backing vocals.

The 30-second short version was animated by the company Wil Film ApS in Denmark with Softimage XSI as the software used, with Pete Dodd in charge of directing, designing and animating the short. An individual known online as "Pitcher" did the rigging, shading, rendering and compositing, and Kim Frederiksen did the modeling.

In 2018, the K-POP video version of the video was released, reusing most of animations from the 10th anniversary version and the "I'm Blue" music video that released shortly prior. As of this date, bitOrigo would be in charge of this version and the following ones.

"I'm a Gummy Bear (The Gummy Bear Song)" is a novelty dance song by Gummibr, in reference to the gummy bear, a type of bear-shaped candy originating in Germany. It was written by German composer Christian Schneider and released by its label Gummybear International. The song was first released in Hungary, where it spent eight months as number 1 atop the ringtones chart.

Subsequently, it became global as an internet meme, in large part due to its corresponding videos on YouTube and MySpace. It has since been released in at least twenty-five languages and has virally spread worldwide with more than one billion plays.

The dancers takes place in a Greek-like white temple with giant gummy bears up on pedestals. There are also small gummy bears on the floor. On the exterior a sunny green field can be seen. Behind the dancer, there are backup dancers. The left one has a yellow t-shirt with a yellow bear-eared sweatshirt, yellow shoes, and jeans. The right one has an orange t-shirt with an orange bear-eared sweatshirt, yellow shoes, and jeans.

In 1920, Hans Riegel of Bonn, Germany, became frustrated with his dead-end job as a confectionary worker and started his own sweets company, making hard, colorless candies using a copper kettle and marble slab in his kitchen. His bicycle-riding wife was the sole delivery person. The name of his new business was a combination of the first two letters of his own first and last names and hometown: Hans Riegel of Bonn=Haribo.

The hard candies sold fairly well at local street fairs, but not as well as Riegel had hoped. Then, after a couple of years, Riegel hit upon what would prove to be a genius idea: He produced a line of soft, gelatin-based, fruit-flavored treats in the shape of dancing bears (then a popular diversion at festivals in Europe). But while Riegel is often credited as the inventor of gummy candy, he actually just improved upon an already successful, centuries-old, formula.

And when your kids plead that you ought to let you them eat gummy candies instead of the rest of their pickled vegetables because they're both a kind of nutrition, well, they've actually got a point, historically speaking.

However, also as one might expect, Haribo took quite a hit during the war: Hans Riegel died in 1945, and his two sons, Hans Jr. and Paul, were taken as prisoners of the Allied forces. By the time Paul and Hans were released, there were only about 30 employees working at the company.

So began the now decades-long debate over which was the superior Gold-Bear: German or American? (Not to mention the many debates over the merits of Gold-Bears versus Black Forest, Heide, Jelly Belly, and the countless other competitors who would crop up over the years.) Many insist to this day that the German version is better, with more "real fruit" taste, a chewier consistency, and one extra type of bear (apple! The rest are raspberry, orange, lemon, pineapple, and strawberry, in case you were wondering). Of course, there are also those rare gummy fans who prefer Trolli's mouth-puckering, neon-colored worms or even the more subdued, somewhat unidentifiable flavors of Black Forest, for example. Perhaps this wide range of public opinion and appetite is the reason why no legal disputes over the origin or image of the gummy bear have been recorded, save one between Haribo and the chocolate company Lindt over the latter's lookalike gold-foil-wrapped chocolate bear (Haribo won in 2012).

But when it comes down it, it's not really about the movies, the cartoons, or even the taste or chew, Kimmerle says. It's that gummy bears (of all brands) are just so adorable: "I do think the bears have become so significant because they are anthropomorphic. They are so easy to personify and well, love. No other candy is a cute, mini creature quite like a gummy bear."

To be sure, gummy bears are the only candy charming enough to propel a tune as absurd as "The Gummy Bear Song" to chart-topping status (sample lyrics: "Oh, I'm a yummy, tummy, funny, lucky gummy bear/I'm a jelly bear, cuz I'm a gummy bear").

The Gummy Bear song is a fun activity that will quickly become a favorite amongst your kids. This activity seamlessly blends fun with learning, introducing young learners to basic counting and social skills through the use of charming bear cutouts and a catchy tune.

The song is about counting gummy bears, and as their names are sung in the song, children give a penny in exchange for the bear. The activity can be adapted by changing the number of bears in the song and using different items such as nickels, dimes, or quarters. Whether they are holding colorful gummy bear cut-outs, exchanging pennies, singing along, or simply moving to the rhythm of the song, every child is actively involved and learning in a fun and interactive environment.

The Gummy Bear song teaches basic counting, taking turns, following directions, and social interactions. Children learn numbers and counting as you sing about the different colored gummy bears. It also promotes social skills as children interact to exchange pennies for gummy bears.

You need the free printable gummy bear cutouts, pennies or other small items like buttons or beads, and the song lyrics (provided above). The number of cutouts should match the number of children exchanging items.

Print and cut out the gummy bear cutouts. Select 5 children to hold a gummy bear and 5 other children to give them the pennies or other exchange items. Give the exchanging children their items. Have the rest of the children hold up 5 fingers as they sing along.
