[@art_kitty_1190]

I didn’t know that, I just knew it from music class when I was in grade 5, but even then it was just until the first boom didi boom boom x2 boom boom boom bit,

[@sheru9934]

this gives me so much grade 3 memories of singing this and now im just old

[@Blackhorn6]

I learned this song when I went to Camp Chalk Hills (Now Birch Trails) as a child. Still this song calls me back to Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Canada's blue shores and serene waters...

[@hummer480]

I learned this is grade two, and still we sing it in assemblies. I learned a different version of this, and a different tune, but good job. :3

[@MsPebble22]

Learned this from a music teacher in Standard 5 (7th grade) in South Africa!

[@HolmesGroupGirls]

I heard it on youtube and from that point on I try to find great covers and this is a great one

[@onmyHONOUR]

@Phantomsbreath awesome. This goes great with the paddle song.

[@karanveersumal2585]

i need to sing this song for a celabration of learning at my school

[@yun8436]

In my school, it keeps changing because of my forgetful teacher... First, it's Hayaya haya then the next week, we sang Boom diddiyada I wonder what's next XD

[@onmyHONOUR]

indeed. It is a beautiful piece.

[@onmyHONOUR]

There are an INFINITE number of variations to this song. I have also heard the version you sing.

[@Charlotte-rl3iw]

love this song just learned the other 2 verses cuz at guides we sing only the first verse

[@MsLoveOnAir]

i love it

[@williamtuihalamaka5994]

We did it in the music festival and all 6 schools manage all the words!!! But we did change the song a little bit ..

[@sofearb9065]

I am learning this for my grade 2 singing

[@bobbynaidu5743]

love music

[@Phantomsbreath]

I usually use a longer arching seven beats before the boomdidiboomboom. But that's just me. Hold Blue Lake for a total of four counts, and Rocky Shore for three. Makes for some great harmonies.

[@india-nirvanawhiting9264]

I like this song because my mum sang it to me

[@cassandrakemp4839]

this is what I sang at my girl guides when I was at camp with my Pathfinders

[@chantellecampbell2251]

I did this song in Grade 1 for a play (i was a moose) LOL

[@HolmesGroupGirls]

I thought it was "Boom didi ada" That's what I heard from Michael Mitchell

[@abigailnywening1630]

It was they changed it😭

[@justlando6746]

im learning this song

[@muktharabdul5878]

me to

[@onmyHONOUR]

@imosgoal I'm glad it has reminded you of good times. :)

[@dannyplouffe]

love this song. just wondering, i grew up in Northern Ontario and never heard this song. just learned it recently from my kid at school.

[@dinkster1729]

I went to brownies and girl guides in Terrace Bay (shore of Lake Superior) and Elliot Lake between Sudbury and Sault Ste Marie in the 50s and early 60s. We learned this song and sang it all the time. I may have flubbed my chocolate blanc mange. I maybe couldn't knit worth a darn. I even failed how to tie and fly the Union Jack here in Kingston, but I'll tell you one thing: I remember learning this song. My children played a lovely version on the piano. I used to say to my son: O.K. Moose wander because there are a few chords just before you sing "Land of the Mighty Moose" and he'd do the chords like a wandering moose. The piece is in a Royal Conservatory grade 2 book, I think. Did you see where that music teacher is suing her principal and vice-principal because they are accusing her of being racist for teaching this song? The world's gone mad.

[@onmyHONOUR]

@dannyplouffe some songs like this are like that... you might go years without ever hearing them, you learn them from someone else...

[@LunariNox]
