Pillowcase Pants

Ever wonder what it sounds like when a tiny dog knocks on a door and asks for candy? Finding out has never been easier thanks to today's edition of Name That Sound.  Plus! Let your inner and outer children be inspired by Saint Saens' Danse Macabre as you paint an imaginary bubble from the inside.  Also!!! An echo song about the joy of making your own costume.

Autumnaton

I love a good pattern and we've got plenty of them on today's show.  We also update an old echo song that updated a different old echo song which I recently learned was an update of a really old echo song about the Canadian military.  Hello operator?  But the big news is we have a guest beatboxer laying the groove in our Jam Along segment.  Woot woot!

Razzle Dazzle

Mystery abounds in this edition of Noodle Loaf as we ask the eternal question, is it an animal or is it a musical instrument?  Even the echo song reverberates with enigma.  Where are we going and will you be awake when we get there?  One things for sure, a land expanse demands the clapping of our hands.

The Nut Butter Solution

We kick off with a sticky predicament. A blueberry problem so to speak.  It requires moving in slow jelly motion.  I'd love to see some footage of this game! Share your nut butter quest on social medias with @noodleloafshow pls.  And is that the Pogues doing an echo song?  Nope.  Enjoy the show!

Shiny Happy People Singing

They say you should dance like nobody's looking at the kitchen utensils.  And that writing about architecture is like singing about worms.  And that learning about dinosaurs is called paleontology, not to be confused with Patreontology which is the study of supporting Noodle Loaf.  This may or may not all make sense after hearing today's show.

Hello Hello Hellooo

Learning through play! Or to quote Beyoncé "I Play, Okay, I Play."  At least that's what I think she says.  Maybe I need new headphones.  Regardless, we're back with more music education in the form of songs, games and good times.
