Overall Meaning

Barney's "Wynken Blynken And Nod" is a classic nursery rhyme that transports listeners to a magical world. The song tells the story of three fishermen who embark on a journey of adventure and wonder. As the trio climb aboard to the stars, they set off to make their livelihood by casting their nets in the sea. The lyrics convey a sense of freedom and thrill that comes from embarking on journeys into the unknown.


The song is likely a reference to a classic children's poem written by Eugene Field. Field's poem is called "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" and was published in 1889. It tells the story of three children who sail on a boat made of a wooden shoe and set off on a journey through the stars. The poem has remained popular among children and adults alike over the years, and Barney's adaptation is no exception.
