Here's the classic kid's folksong Aiken Drum from the preschool television show Let's Go Luna. View the full episode here:    • Video  

I created the characters and animation all in stop motion. Aiken Drum is made from a styrofoam ball, bake clay, and felt. His arms and legs are wire covered with Super Sculpey. The bugs are also made from styrofoam and felt. The backgrounds are paper mache and the house and kitchen is made of rocks from the path where I live. I hope you enjoy :)

Lyrics:

Andy: Hi, it’s Andy with a folksong from Scotland!

Well, there was a man in our town,
Our town, in our town
There was a man in our town
And his name was Aiken Drum

And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle
He played upon a ladle
And his name was Aiken Drum

His coat was made of rumbledethumps,
Rumbledethumps, rumbledethumps
His coat was made of rumbledethumps
And his name was Aiken Drum

And his hat was made of cream cheese,
Cream cheese, cream cheese
His hat was made of cream cheese
And his name was Aiken Drum

And his vest was made of pancakes,
Pancakes, pancakes
His vest was made of pancakes
And his name was Aiken Drum

And his buttons were made cinnamon buns,
Cinnamon buns, cinnamon buns.
His buttons were made cinnamon buns
And his name was Aiken Drum

And his pants were made dribs and drabs,
Dribs and drabs, dribs and drabs,
His pants were made dribs and drabs,
And his name was Aiken Drum

And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle
He played upon a ladle and his name was Aiken Drum
And he played upon a ladle and his name was Aiken Drum
