Dear Dinobone,
Where can I download the somg "Dem Bones Gonna Walk Around" ?




Dear Writer,
I found a midi version on the internet. You can download at this address. http://www.dinobone.com/ask/bones.mid
You might be able to download someone performing the song on a site like Amazon.com. Otherwise check out my page on "Them Bones" for recommendations on what CD you could purchase which would have the song on it.

Your friend, Dinobone


Dear Dinobone,
Do you have a copy of the song Dem Bones using scientific terms like the mandables are connected to the...?




Dear Writer,
I'm sure at some point in time someone has done that, I can't find a copy of it though on the Internet. Your could probably make up your own using a sheet with all the names on it. Give it a try! Email it to me if you do and I'll post it!
Here's an example website with that info. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/anatomy/skeleton/

Dear Dinobone,
Who sings "Dem Dry Bones!"?


Dear Writer,
Good question! I couldn't find out what the most famous recordings of "Dem Dry Bones" are but I found listings of recordings that include the song. While looking for recordings I found out some more information about the Biblical roots of this 'Spiritual'. Various sources stated roughly that The famous African-American Spiritual 'Dry Bones' derives from Ezekiel's vision of a 'valley full of bones'.

Some artists and recordings you could try are:
  • Smithsonian Collection: American Anthology of Folk Music
  • Delta Rhythm Boys
  • St. John's Children's Choir
  • Silly Favorites (Rhino Records Collection)


I also found a very extended list of current recordings from one of the online Music CD Stores. It's quite long so I put it in a separate page. Here's the link: Dry Bones.

Dear Dinobone,
Can you find a song about human bones, leg bones connected to the ankle bone...



Dear Writer,
I think you may be referring to the song "Dry Bones." There's a part of the song that talks about the leg bone connected to the knee bone, etc. You can find the lyrics further down on the message board. Let me know if you can't find it.

Your friend, Dinobone



Dear Dinobone,
Do you have that song "Them Bones?"



Dear Writer,
"Them Bones" is anther version of "Dem Bones" and "Dry Bones". If you scroll down the message board, you'll find the words to the songs. I couldn't find the sheet music on the internet but if you contact any Music Store that can order sheet music, they should be able to get the music for you.

Your friend, Dinobone



  Dear Dinobone,
Do you know the words for the shoulder bone is connected to the elbow bone etc???



Dear Writer,
I really like this song! The words you quoted were originally from a song called a "Spiritual". There are many versions. School House Rock even has their own version. Here are a couple:
DEM BONES

Chorus 
Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones  
Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones  
Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones  
Dem Bones are gonna rise! 
  
The foot bone connected to the ankle bone 
The ankle bone connected to the leg bone 
The leg bone connected to the knee bone 
Dem Bones are gonna rise! 
Chorus 
The knee Bone connected to the thigh bone 
The thigh bone connected to the hip bone 
The hip bone connected to the back bone 
Dem Bones are gonna rise! 
Chorus 
The back bone connected to the shoulder bone 
The shoulder bone connected to the neck bone 
The neck bone connected to the head bone 
Dem Bones are gonna rise! 
Chorus 

DRY BONES 

Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!"
Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!"
Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!"
"Oh, hear the word of the Lord."

The foot bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the head bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!

Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun',
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
Oh, hear the word of the Lord.

The head bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the foot bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!
Your friend, Dinobone

Dear Dinobone,
How can I remember the parts of the skeleton for a test really easy



Dear Writer,
Maybe you can put your study words into a song! Use the "Leg bone's connected to the knee bone" song and recite the bones you need to remember like this:

The head bone is called the.... skull bone,
The hip bone is called the... pelvis,
etc.
Good luck!

Your friend, Dinobone


Dear Dinobone,
Do you have the tape of or lyrics to "the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone . . .?


Dear Writer,
In the future I hope to do my own version of this great song. In the meantime follow this link Them Bones or just scroll down this page to the lyrics I posted awhile back. School House Rock also has a great version of this song.

Your friend, Dinobone

Dear Dinobone,
I am after any songs for 9 year olds on the human body.



Dear Writer,
School House Rock does a great version of "Them Bones" that is great for that age. The CD is still available I believe. Off hand that's all I can think of. There's also a CD called "Singing Science Tickle Tune Typhoon" that has a bone song, haven't heard it though so can't say how good it is.

Your friend, Dinobone

Dear Dinobone,
Do you have the song dem bones gonna walk around? I would like to learn the song Them Bones.
from two separate Writers



Dear Writers,
Glad you asked!If you scroll down this page, you'll see the lyrics to "Them Bones" or "Dem Bones." In order to learn how to sing or play the song, you'll need to either get a recording of the song or get the sheet music. Sometime in the future I'm going post a new song file to this website with my own version of "Them Bones" called "DINOBONES." Stay tuned!

Your friend, Dinobone
