Tick Tock Rock Music Video Released
I hope children will enjoy learning to tell time by the hour with my latest music video titled “Tick Tock Rock.” The song is on my 2005 “Music Time” album, and I thought I would illustrate it in my cut-paper and foam collage to make telling time a snap, or in this case, a clap!
I remember when I was young, I had a hard time learning to tell time. It wasn’t the hour so much as the half-past and quarter hour that tripped me up. Maybe I need to write that song as well!
Anyway, let’s jump into this interactive song in which part of the song I tell the time, but the second half of the song, you tell the time.
