We’ve taken the classic kids’ song on a whole new ride — with cool jazz vibes, rainy day charm, and that Larrikin Puppets sparkle. It’s smooth, it’s fun, it’s quirky, and it’s live now on our YouTube Channel!

We’re spending this week on tour in #Toowoomba and had the great pleasure of an evening with our friend, the legendary Australian puppeteer Dennis Murphy and his wonderful wife, Helen. Over a delicious home-cooked dinner, we shared delightful conversations about puppetry, travel, and life.
