Five Things We’ve Noticed….

…..about the new CBeebies ‘Winter song’…..

1) It appears to have been filmed in Canary Wharf, right outside the offices of that much revered publication Reader’s Digest in fact. Quite how they managed to completely vacuum that area of people is another matter entirely.

2) Despite being a winter song it was quite obviously filmed in the height of summer, if the bright blue sky above is anything to go by. Maybe next year’s summer song will be filmed against a suspiciously cold and grey looking background.

3) The tunes just ain’t as catchy as they once were. The Spring song rocked, the Summer song had a kind of slightly corny but nonetheless likeable teen-pop vibe (think S Club 7 sung by people who aren’t completely convinced that this kind of thing was in the original job description), and the Autumn song was a mellow number which grew on us. This one kind of noodles around and ultimately seems to go nowhere.

4) Those kids standing at the front really aren’t too sure of the choreography are they?

5) CBeebies fleece jackets apparently come in a range of colours, and yet still look ever so slightly naff.

But apart from that of course we love it……:)

  1. The Winter Song is utter bobbins compared to the original Autumn one of a couple of years ago – the one that went ‘GRAB YOUR NUTS AND COME, GRAB YOUR NUTS AND COME COME COME’.

    I still sing that – regularly.
