Every week I say to myself, “Give them something breathtaking to hear.” Well not this week. This week is about charm, childhood, and charisma.

I was recently introduced to the world of Muzzy, the BBC Language Course for Children. Clearly, I’m a lost cause as far as the program is concerned, but one track in particular struck a nerve: the French version of the “A-E-I-O-U” song.

Honestly, it’s too endearing to be educational, and this allure is what keeps me from blinking twice at nonsensical lyrics such as, “A-E-I-U-O. A motorbike. / I-O-U-E-A. Let’s go!”

Because Muzzy is a bear. He is an alien-bear-thing—with a penchant for devouring clocks—here (this time) to teach French. On y va!
