Reading Rainbow Theme Song
by Steve Horelick,
Dennis Neil Kleinman,
and Janet Weir

Butterfly in the sky
I can go twice as high
Take a look
It’s in a book
A Reading Rainbow

I can go anywhere
Friends to know
And ways to grow
A Reading Rainbow

I can be anything
Take a look
It’s in a book
A Reading Rainbow
A Reading Rainbow

The Book I Read
by David Byrne

I’m writing ’bout the
Book I read
I have to sing about the
Book I read
I’m embarassed to admit it hit the soft spot in my heart
When I found out you wrote the
Book I read so

Na na na na na…na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na na
Na na na na…oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh..

Take my shoulders as they touch your arms I’ve
Got little cold chills but I feel alright The
Book I Read was in your eyes oh oh

Oh…I’m living in the future.
I feel wonderful.
I’m tipping over backwards
I’m so ambitious
I’m looking back I’m
Running a race and you’re the book I read so

Feel my fingers as they
touch your arms
I’m spinning around but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes

Na na na na…na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na
Na na na na na…na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na
Na na na na…na na na na na na na
Na na na na…oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oooooh…I’m living in the future
I feel wonderful
I’m tipping over backwards
I’m so ambitious
I’m looking back I’m
Running a race and you’re the books I read so

Feel my fingers as they touch you arms I’m
Spinning around and I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes

Read a Book
by Pylon

It’s a concept. It’s a feeling
I’m learning more almost every day
I think I know what you mean
Turn off the TV
You can learn more
Try to do without it

Read a book,
Don’t be afraid
No, no, no, no

      sometimes i get the song that big bird sings that is the-pronunciation-of-the-alphabet-as-a-word stuck in my head – it’s really annoying – and it usually just comes out of the blue with no warning and no reason – but not this morning

      the weird thing is my dad used to pronounce the alphabet as a word for us kids when we were little and it sounded different from big bird’s version

      the two pronunciations would start out the same and then diverge

      big bird’s version, (sung) : ab suh def juh hidg’kle mennop ker toov rix iz

      my dad’s version, (spoken) : ab suh def juh hickle um nup cure-ess tuv wuckzy
      (i don’t think he was even aware of big bird’s version)

      i would go over each pronunciation letter by letter to try to understand
      (i know, my dad’s version left out the j – that always bothered me)

      so, thanks for the reminder of this slice of my childhood by posting the reading rainbow song, which was a different show than sesame street, i know
