In 1988 Together Again Video Productions and Warner Bros Records produced a television spinoff called "The Kidsongs TV Show" for syndication. The series ran for 2 years mostly on network affiliates on Saturday mornings. These shows were built around the premise of kids making their own tv shows with the motto "Made by Kids, For Kids and Starring Kids". The child hosts presented the Kidsongs Music Videos in a Top 10 Countdown format. After its syndication runs, the series moved to the Disney Channel and ran there for another 4 years.
Creators Rosenstein and Gowers created a new version of "The Kidsongs TV Show" for PBS in partnership with Warner Bros. Records and Chicago Public Television station WTTW. [1]. Public television relaunched the show. Many of the original Kidsongs videos were used in the public television series along with new educational content.
The opening credits were redone every season to show each new cast. Kidsongs kept its same time slot the entire series run. Five seasons were produced and the series ran for 10 years on Public Television. Some of the episodes have been released on DVD.
If I Had A Hammer
Kidsongs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh how happy I'll be
I'd love to find a pony for Christmas
Under my Christmas tree
Every night I dream about her
She's the only one that I adore
If I get a pony for Christmas
I'll brush her till she shines and sparkles
And her saddle will be the best
I'll give her lots of pretty ribbons
She'll be special
Not like the rest!
If I get a pony for Christmas
Oh how happy I'll be
I'd love to find a pony for Christmas
Under my Christmas tree
Every night I dream about her
She's the only one that I adore
If I get a pony for Christmas
I won't ask for anything more
She'll show my all her fancy dances
She'll tell her secrets just to me
And though I know we're kinda tiny
We'll grow up eventually!
If I get a pony for Christmas
Oh how happy I'll be
I'd love to find a pony for Christmas
Under my Christmas tree
Every night I dream about her
She's the only one that I adore
If I get a pony for Christmas
I won't ask for anything more
I won't ask for anything more
