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.
Jingle Bell Rock
Kidsongs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
Woooo!
