Remember back in school when you were small and stuff, you'd learn lots of things through singing songs. I'm wondering what kind of stuff there is in Japanese similar (there's bound to be I'm sure)
Songs designed for remembering specific things, Such as the almighty
"Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"
Which while childish, served its purpose in both being fun to perform but also highly memorable.
There was also the other medical one about how the bones connected, but alas thats been superseeded in my memory by the Dr Nick Riviera version

"The kneebone's connected to the... something! The something's connected to the... red thing! The red thing's connected to my wristwatch! Uh-oh..."

but these are just examples. Anyone know of any good Japanese childrens songs that teach vocab in a logical and simple way?
