    About This Episode

    In this musical episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar embarks on an ambitious medley of classic children's songs and nursery rhymes. From "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" to "The Wheels on the Bus," Natty chains together familiar tunes in increasingly creative and chaotic ways. The episode features references to the farmer in the dell, the muffin man, Old MacDonald, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and many more beloved songs. Throughout the performance, Natty reveals they must keep singing to prevent someone from showing off, and the episode concludes with attempts to sing a baby or "little mountain" to sleep, ending with a rendition of "I Went to the Animal Fair."
