Not quite sure what this was but there seems to be some wonderful colours about. Can you tell me what the colours are?
Mr. Bucket
Children have been playing with buckets for millenia.
But guess what. There was a new kid on the block. It’s was Mr. Bucket.
Earlier this evening, apropos of nothing, I began singing the Mr.
Bucket theme song. Softly at first, but then louder, more confidently.
The words were popping out of my mouth like balls.
It is a truly terrible toy. Essentially, children are cleaning.
Chasing after little balls with pooper scoopers. And in a
particularly
Sisyphean twist, just as one thinks her task is complete, the balls pop out of his mouth.
I know you remember this commercial. Even if, like me, you never
played with or even saw Mr. Bucket in the flesh. What could make such a
miserable toy so unforgettable? I’m convinced that it’s the jingle.
It’s the sounds, not the images, of Mr Bucket that are forever etched
in my mind. But what makes the Mr. Bucket jingle so effective?
VERSE 1
I’m Mr. Bucket toss your balls in my top
I’m Mr. Bucket out of my mouth they will pop
CHORUS I’m Mr. Bucket!
We’re all gonna run!
I’m Mr. Bucket! Buckets of fun!
Announcer:
The game’s Mr. Bucket! The first to get their balls into Mr.
Bucket wins! But look out, the balls will pop out of his mouth!
That's right, I'm Mr. Bucket! I'm Mr. Bucket! Toss your balls in my top I'm Mr. Bucket! out of my mouth they will pop
I'm Mr. Bucket! We're all gonna run! I'm Mr. Bucket! Buckets of fun!
VERSE 2
I’m Mr. Bucket, balls pop out of my mouth
I’m Mr. Bucket, a ball is what I’m about
CHORUS
I’m Mr. Bucket!
We’re all gonna run!
I’m Mr. Bucket! Buckets of fun!
What are some other jingles you’ve found to be particularly ??? One of my sons actually loved the jingle for Shake n Vac
AND CAN ANYONE STILL REMEMBER THE TUNE, OR EVEN THE ADVERT.
The Horror of Mr. Bucket!!!
In the early 90s I was far too busy to watch after
school cartoons. Okay...to be really honest....I just never saw
this. Had I, would have been doubled over in fits of laughter for
weeks...as I was in 2004 when I saw the commercial at the end of an
unmarked video cassette from the period. My three year old son had no
idea why I was laughing, he simply laughed along.
I was laughing because of the jingle. And YES I know I'm
laughing at something that most 12 year olds laugh at. I can't help it.
It's funny. I have no idea how this got on the air. Wasn't there some
executive at Milton Bradley, or the ad agency that said..."shouldn't we
re-word this"? I'm positive the 4 year olds the game was aimed at never
caught what I caught.
The jingle says;
I'm Mr. Bucket toss your balls in my top, I'm Mr. Bucket out of my mouth they will pop.
"the first to get their balls
into Mr. Bucket wins.

Toby Bucket Meets Tilly Teapot
Hello, here is Toby Bucket.
Toby was out side playing with Candy.
Suddenly there was a loud shout from the sky.
Candy barked and Toby ran behind the tree.
Up in the sky there was a balloon, It was Tilly Teapot and her little dog, Sweetie Pie.
She landed her balloon by Toby's bucket house.
1. Can you see Tilly and Sweetie Pie? 2. Do you know what colour Tilly's top is? 3. Where did Toby hide when he saw the balloon?
Toby and Tilly Go to the Circus
Today Toby went to Tilly's Home.
They were going to the Circus.
They went there in Toby's landrover.
There was a fair in the circus ground.
Toby won balloons for Tilly and himself
Later on they went into the Big Top.
Toby and Candy were asked to join the show.
Tilly clapped very loudly for Toby 1. Do you know what a Big Top is?
2. Do you know what Tilly lives in?
3. Can you remember what Tilly's dog is called?
Toby Goes Fishing
It is Saturday, Toby is having a lie in, but not for long.
Toby is going fishing today.
After breakfast Toby and Candy got the Land Rover out of the garage and drove down to the river.
Toby has caught a fish! It is pulling on the line.
Do you think it will be a big fish? Oh wow can you see the fish jumping?
Goodness me it is a big fish children!
Tilly and Toby have gone to Wales to take some photos for the Children at the Local School. They have gone in Tilly's Balloon.

And because Diddily loves these songs so much she has bungled them all
together so that Toby and Tilly will have something great to listen to
when they arrive back on Sunday.
Diddily says she really doesn't know what
she would do without all these wonderful youngsters who make these
fantastic video's to go with the songs. They must be so talented, don't
you think?
I would love to learn to do it but I think Diddily is a
little old to learn animation at her age, so instead I will rely on
these wonderful people who give us all so much enjoyment.

Toby Bucket and Tilly Teapot Go to School
It was early in the morning and Toby Bucket was sat at the table having his breakfast.
Today was a special day. Toby was going to school. Toby and Tilly had been to Wales and they were going to show the children some photos of the mountains.
They went in Tilly's balloon. They met up with some of Tilly's friends in their balloons.
When they arrived at Snowdon they took some pictures of the mountains and rivers.
Can you see the picture of Wales? Can you tell Toby and Tilly what the yellow flowers are? Yes you are right. They are Daffodil's. Here is a picture of a littleWelsh girl wearing her Welsh costume. Doesn't she look beautiful?
Can you see all the presents Toby took in for the School? Here was the last picture Tilly showed the children. It was of a very old castle. It is called Denbigh Castle. This is Toby Bucket's first Photograph from Tilly's balloon, he is very proud of it. Diddily Dee Dot went to school in Denbigh.
Bye, Bye then children we are hoping to go to Ireland next month. Maybe we will bring back a Leprechaun as well as some photo's.
Tower, Sand and Carousels
Toby and Tilly were up really early, Aunt Maud has come over from Manchester to take care of Candy and Sweetie Pie.
Can you guess where it is Tilly and Toby are going?
Yes, that's right, they are going on the train to Blackpool for the weekend. They are taking Toby's tent with them and camping overnight. Here they are, getting off the train. I wonder where they will go first.
Maybe down to the sands. I hope they build a sand castle. Don't you?
Whilst
they were paddling in the sea, Tilly saw a boat. Steam was coming from
its funnel.
When they went back to their buckets and spades the tide
had washed the castle away. Here they are eating hot dogs.
Toby had tomato ketchup on his.
Tilly had mustard. Yuck! Toby hates mustard.
After an ice lolly, they walked along the prom to the funfair. They went on so many rides but they both loved the Carousel best.
Soon it was time for them to go back to the tent. Toby had his red sleeping bag, and Tilly had her yellow one.
Shush now my children I think they are both fast asleep. I wonder where they will be going tomorrow?

Were all going to the Zoo Tomorrow
Yes it is true, Toby and Tilly are off to the Zoo.
They got up early, Toby made some beans on toast for them and away they went from Blackpool, all the way down to Chester on the train.
Would you believe it Toby has never been to the Zoo before. Not even when he was a little boy at School.
He
was so excited. He made sure they had plenty of things to feed the
animals with. Tilly said she didn't think they would be allowed though. (she was right, they couldn't give them their own food.) The first place that they went to, was the monkey house. Toby wasn't allowed to feed them, but it was their feeding time so the Zoo Keeper let them help him. Can you see that naughty monkey it has pinched Toby's glasses.
Tilly was thirsty so they both went to the cafe for a cup of tea. They also had chips and sausage with a few beans. Toby didn't realise how hungry he was.
It was fun going around all the animals especially as the last place they went was to help feed the sealions before going home.
On the train back home. Tilly and Toby sang this song. Can you sing it with them. I'm sure Mummy or Daddy know the tune.
And would you believe it when Toby and Tilly arrived home.
Two other little animals were more than excited to see them both.
Can you tell me who they are please?
