If I could be the only child... - Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, no Good, Very Bad Day

A fragment of the HBO production "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, no Good, Very Bad Day"

[@hopeoconnor1626]

This song is so touching. It helps to teach kids that even a bad day can have some good in it.

[@naranara1690]

God damn, this has been in the back of my head for over a decade. Almost 15 years.

[@taylorguerinwilkens9808]

Same! It's one of those random single lines of a song I can't place that has popped into my head occasionally for like 20 years lol. Finally searched it on KZbin and I can honestly say I never would have been able to place it without the help of the internet

[@JoeyJoJoJuniorShabadoo]

​@@taylorguerinwilkens9808they played it once on a projector in music class in elementary school and the song has stuck in my head ever since.

[@margaretreiss271]

Best choreography ever

[@Noodle1423]

What a delightful song about wishing other people in your family were never born.

[@gerardo8av]

most certainly quite delightful!

[@zeekyblahIV]

Wow... The last time I saw this... Must have been back in the 90s.

[@IceWataJ3]

I use to sing this all the time lol I'm 30 yrs old now I miss the old days

[@gerardo8av]

30 years of age is not impediment for singing, so go ahead. It has a nice ring, a beautiful song by all means :)

[@scottudell7202]

I did as well

[@PPCCO.]

I FINALLY FOUND IT!- 27 year old

[@gerardo8av]

Glad to know the clip brought you memories :)

[@danielmartinez5098]

Paper Plates Clothing Co. dude I'm 27 and I kept catching myself singing this and barely found it, memories flooded in

[@noahroangoldwing]

So I didn’t fever dream this....

[@demonheracross]

Brings back childhood memories 😢

[@gerardo8av]

I'm very glad to know, and while you put a sad face, I'd imagine is mostly due to nostalgia. Hopefully I am right.

[@demonheracross]

@@gerardo8av yep

[@expert4334]

lol I searched this up cuz in like 3rd grade we watched this, I'm in 9th now😪

[@iceis82]

I've seriously been randomly singing parts of this song for almost a year & have no idea why, lol. Thank you for putting this on here. Memories!!

[@dirtymartiniish]

I remember this from 25 years ago!

[@yokingstream1005]

Had to look this up again after all these years 😂 glad it’s not forgotten

[@gerardo8av]

I wish I've gotten it in better quality

[@mooniethemew]

This has been stuck in my head since I was like 5.

[@bolaeater4829]

I almost cried when i heard the song in my school

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

I didn't cry when I first heard this song. I'm above that.

[@harrystoller4147]

I watched this in school. I almost laughed!

Good to know you could come across it again!

[@EatinOffMyOwnPlate]

Me too !

[@Godzchozenson1]

Wow!! This took me back to my childhood. My brother and I used to watch this everytime it came on HBO back in the day. Thanx 4 posting! 👍🤘

[@harrystoller4147]

My childhood too. During “HBO Storybook Musicals”, the opening saying HBO presents, was cut for some reason. You know what I mean?

[@harrystoller4147]

It’s my favorite song from the special. In fact, I have two favorite songs but that's another story.

[@gerardo8av]

Brilliant!

[@BluDoodles_]

OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!

Man the 90s man they were cool but cool song

[@spamraimi9505]

Yo this goes hard

[@MovieLover1995]

I remember watching this special in Kindergarten. Which was 21 years ago, and I loved it. Im almost 27, and I still watch it from time to time.

[@gemstoneprincess2890]

I'm the only child

[@autumnfaerie11]

I love this!

[@gerardo8av]

good to know you liked it :)

[@dennabelleeudela2304]

Of course, nothing beats this animated short series like no other! It's pretty better than the 2014 Disney movie with Steve Carell!

[@harrystoller4147]

Yes, the 1990 movie is better than 2014.

[@ethanthomsen3973]

I thought that film was alright personally but this has some great musical numbers

[@iceis82]

I can't believe I remember it b/c I'm 29yrs old, lol. My kids will know this story!

[@supersaiyangrl3]

if i could be the only child id have mom and dads attention all the time. id be the cuttest, politiest, most brillant, the greatest there one and only special girl. No big brothers always acting so stupid no big brothers always being so immature. I think it would suit me just fine if all the food in the fridge could be just mine if i could be if i could be the only child :)

[@Rkerekes13]

For some reason, I can't help but picture the kittens from "The Aristocats" singing this song.

[@harrystoller4147]

The aristocats never sang it.

[@Rkerekes13]

@@harrystoller4147 I know. I'm just saying that this song would suit them purrfectly. (Yeah, I went with the pun!)

[@saraschroeder2508]

I'm 34 and watched Alexander and the terrible, horrible, No Good, very bad Day when I was in 3rd grade. I still remember this story and sing this song to my brother!

[@gerardo8av]

I'm glad this brought you nice memories!

[@lfraycray]

I’d like to be the only child!

[@gerardo8av]

@RobbVonZeppelin I'm glad you liked it and that it brougth good memories to you. I loved this song since the first time I heard it

[@MyMelodyOfTheHeart]

After hearing this song, I wonder, if their wishes really came true to be only kids, would'nt they be really lonely without the other two, even if the other two were really annoying?

[@gerardo8av]

That is exactly what they conclude by the end of the song.

[@MsAnthonyTang]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[@shadchick21]

I used to ask my mom to rent this almost every time we went to the library

[@gummybearlove2129]

But then if something wrong happened in your house they might think it was u because ur the only little kid in the house.and if u have siblings when u buy something but u wanted to get 2 things and u could only get 1 thing ur brother/sister could get what u wanted and u guys could share.that way u could get both things u wanted. :)

[@KytusGame]

This one song has been the bane of my existence since i watched it in kindergarten

[@gerardo8av]

Why?

[@KytusGame]

@@gerardo8av ok long story short. We watched this back in my kindergarten class as like a free day. And I don't know why but the nasally voice of the one kid just got stuck in my head. "If I could beeeeeeee the ONLY CHUIUUIIIIIILD" It stuck with me for so so long to the point I couldn't stand it anymore. So now it just reminds a bad memory everytime I think of it

[@KytusGame]

@@gerardo8av to be quite honest I'm suprised you are still responding to an 11 year old video lol

[@gerardo8av]

@@KytusGame got it, pretty fair! The actor voicing Alexander is Danny Tamberelli

Used to sing this song with my sister, she gone now just thinking of her😕.

[@gerbilfantastic]

Why am I singing this now. Why did I have to look this up. I was singing this and I said "Who would PlaY mOnOpOlY wItH mE???" and decided to look it up

[@dallascowboytouchdown4319]

I can’t help but hum the song as it is so catchy

[@gerardo8av]

I do it often :)

[@gerardo8av]

@iceis82 It was good it brought you memories! The whole "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, no Good, very Bad Day" episode is available here in KZbin for your kids to watch. Just search for it.

[@losauntygabz]

I’m an only child 🧒

[@martykeaton182]

I could understand if Alexander ran away from his mother for not trying to figure out what happened.

[@aubreys8484]

I’m an only child its a curse

[@josephzielinski8817]

🤨Alexander has to show some respect to be nice to brother Nick never to put up the fight and it's not nice to hurt him, do he understand?

[@BKDBrian2]

Sadly, my mom is waaaay too old to have any more children, and what's worse, my two sisters who are twins don't live with me anymore. Those good old days are long over now. Just imagine if Franklin, Stanley and Truman from Dinobabies were singing this beautiful song. That would be so adorable to see.

if i could be the only child mom and dad would care about me most i'd be the coolest, the the smartest, the best household artist and i would never have to feel like i'm a ghost no kid brothers always sneaking into my room no kid brothers always stealing all my stuff i think it would suit me just fine if from now on my drinks and snacks could be just mine if i could be, if i could be, the only child

Wow, quite profound and fits it perfectly, I loved it😃

I haven’t watched this since my first grade class watched it together. Randomly thought of it and I’m glad it wasn’t just something I imagined. Although the animation and singing is worse than I remember

[@Happy_Slappy2_0]

I think I was maybe 5 when I saw this in elementary school back in 2006 I'm 23 years old now, and this song literally just popped into my head after watching the first episode of Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
