TBH, when I watched this when I watched an episode of _Between the Lions,_ I actually thought the music video was well animated and that the song was good. And of course, when I heard my teacher say "when two vowels, the first one does the talking," it sounded familiar, and I found out I heard it from _BTL._ So many memories.

Childhood memories right there!❤

I agree with you Darnee1458.

The second graders in my split class got to sing this for their program! I loved hearing it every day.

I used to watch between the lions when I was such a young kid!! with this show I learned the English I speak today!! Thank you Between the Lions! :)

I was a young immigrant when I first saw this. Two decades later it still rings in my head when I teach english.

I agree! It's the best show. It's very enjoyable for both children and adults. The writers have a great sense of humor. :)

This was my jam as a child

Great song! Great lyrics! Very well done! Thanks for sharing!

i'm 15 and i still love this song! (believe me, there aren't many things i love), but this song and between the lions in general is probably the best thing humans ever came up with! Many grateful thanks from me for posting this video.

Wow, a catchy tune that really helps decode some of those tricky vowel digraphs! FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing!

I Love this song!

I love Paul Jacobs and Sarah Durkee.

I love this song!

Love this song I used to sing it in kindergartner

I remember this from when I was first trying to read.🙂😇

That's very simple and clear explaining! Thank you!

Oh the nostalgia back when things were better and reading was a good way😢😢😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅

this is real fresh, really learned something today.

How's this for a verse? When two vowels go walkin', The first one does the talkin'. In *rye*, you hear the Y, but not the E. In *fruit*, you hear the U. The I has zilch to do. The second one, you don't hear, though you see. Yes, the two of them together, in *glue* and *true* and *blue*. The U speaks up, the E does not (But...) Shh! I'm tellin' U! (Get it?)

I Love It! I will include it in the song for my son

I used to always draw an "a" with a bow because of this!

I raised my kids on PBS and then when I started having grandchildren, they were raised on it, too. The best thing that ever happened to PBS Kids was the advent of Between The Lions. Great songs, great messages, great fun....

I've been looking everywhere for this! I miss this show so much! This would help me so much in like 2nd grade! Ah, memories

A fun little tune and educational!

by the looks of the animating it looks like this show has its 50th aniversarry

I love this song so much I learned it in 2nd grade I missed so I played it❤❤❤

I love Between The Lions and its songs. I show that song my niece and she liked it

In my opinion, This song is better than those other Between The Lions songs!

I used to be a volunteer reading helper in schools. I had just taught one of my students this rule and she was nailing it. Then she got out her book...about soup. Had to do some really quick explaining about exceptions after that!

For reasons that are unknown, the A always feels a certain type of way when a certain letter gets to speak and she doesn't.

Love it

Thank you for sharing!

I sang this in English class. Now that's how everyone remembers.

Play it every day at school. kids love it. Daym I can never get any COOL ADULT songs stuck in my head....having said that now I shall always remember what a vowel is :P hheh

i love this song soooooooooooooo muunchhhhhhhhhhh

“But!” “Shh! Let me explain.” What a betrayal.

So nostalgic. My second grade teacher once showed me this.

Perfect excellent very very very very very very very very very very nice best thank you for this video

I Love This Song Came out 2009

@JewlTonz Good idea, Jewl! Also occasionally featured in Between The Lions is "Vowel Boot Camp." The only problem I have with this song is that it just uses A, E, I, O, U, and Sometimes Y. I have always taught the vowel sounds as sometimes including W (as in know, show, blow, throw). And, vorephilia is correct that English is a difficult language (mostly because it's a polyglut of words gathered from hundreds of different languages and dialects [ with their pronunciationa often intact].)

I remember I watched this song in my kindergarten class

I herd this song in class and the holl class sings it very loud

I love it

wow!

lovening it😁😁😁😁

OMG THIS IS LIKE MY MOST FAV SONG WE WATCHED IT WHEN I WAS AT SCHOOL LEARNING OF OPEN AND CLOSED SYLYBLLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my jam

I love this vevy much

"When two vowels go walking The first one does the talking OA AI When two vowels go walking The first one does the talking OA EA If you walk to the lake With a pail and some bait And you sit and you wait For a fish on the take And with a swish of his tail You fall on a pail These are the times When you say, oh well If you go out and roam Far from home With a cloak and an oath That you find the coast Like a wizard with a goal With a grunt and a groan You walk that road Until you reach your goal If you walk to the beach To swim in the sea And harvest a feast Of green seaweed It's like a dream When you feed your team When they take a seat And they eat, eat, eat When you reach your goal And create your scene You will live a life That's nice and neat, you'll see Nice and neat, you'll see Nice and neat, you'll see"

I love this song!!!!!!!

Nice video thanks.

I Love

Nifty! This will be great fo my English students! Thanks for posting it! It would have been super, though, if they hadn't left out some interesting bits: - diptongs which do not sound like either of the vowels that make them up, such as "OO", "OU/OW", "AU/AW". - "y" is not a vowel.

I watched this yesterday at school

I heard a different version of this on Lioness' funniest media!

So beautiful 🥲 ♾️/10

When Two Vows Go Walking The first one does the talking

Those vowels look funny 😂😂😂

Wow I remember this in 2nd grade...

Wowee! So much better than the Starfall one!

my classmates like this song.

I'm in 3rd grade and in watching this I first watched it in school watch double ee

it also happens with consanants too but the first is silent. example: two

English is filled with exceptions, this is one of them. This rule is the norm, but that doesn't make it false. I wish you the best in your studies.

anyone remember what episode was this?

I saw this at school

yep

I didbthis song at school

I:but! A:shhhh! Me:yah shush your mouth i! My brother:wth Me: shhhh! My brother:whatever Me: yah whatever!

Except for the word Heart

I do this in school

I lisin to this song when I was in frist grad

@Babatunde Disu Those do not count because in such cases, those two vowels are in separate syllables. It only counts in this case if they share the same syllable. That is pretty much why "science" doesn't follow the "I before E except after C" rule: because "CI" is in one syllable, and the E... well, E's, are in the next.

My teacher plays this song at snack time

This help me out for English

but i watch this in today at school

This is good 0:22
