    I was at one of his live concerts as a child. My mom yelled "encore!" at the end and I was convinced she alone got Raffi to come back out and sing another song. It was magic.

    "Did you ever see a COW with a green eyeBROW" My Dad sang it to me when I was little..I'm nearly 80 now and still love it. Thanks Raffi

      yeah the math aint adding up there. was it an older song that Raffi brought into the mainstream? not attacking you or anything, just genuinely curious now.

    I never grew up with Raffi, but stumbled upon this song because my son requested this song. Honestly, so good, we listen to it on repeat.

    I remember going to see Raffi in concert as a kid... I loved it. He's actually still touring and doing shows... That seems crazy to me... That's a long time and a lot of childrens' songs for an adult to play and not lose their mind
