Hey Ho, Nobody Home ~Musical Round~

  • This is one of my favorite musical rounds, and one that I can remember singing as a kid.
    The words of the song are:
    Hey Ho, Nobody home.
    Meat nor drink nor money have I none,
    Yet will I be merry, very merry.
    Since the words of the song are sort of cryptic and open to debate as to their true meaning, I interpreted the song as about a vagabond who stumbles upon a deserted house only to find it not deserted at all. But I bet you can think of other possible interpretations to these lyrics...
    This is also a great song for music students to sing with a xylophone ostinato- so try that out too!

    I am 52 years old and this song still stands out in my mind from music class in elementary school. I thought about it today and searched CZcams for it. It bought back great memories.

      Folgers Coffee doesnt matter. if you actually did go to the same school, you could’ve texted him privately. if he gives out his school name, you may know it, but other people might actually use it for bad. take things into consideration before commenting and asking questions, kid.

  • @auntieelslow-keyadventures7576

    This was AMAZING to sing with the kids when I substitute taught for a music teacher today. The kids LOVED it.

    @ohkaypoh Před rokem +4

    Learned a piratey version of this during camps
    „Yo ho, anybody home. Meat nor drink nor money have I none. Still I will be happy. Yo ho, anybody home“
    We‘d also sing it in rounds with other groups overlapping to mimic the sounds of the beach or the seagulls. One round would sing „Soo gully-gully-gully, soo gully-gully“ on repeat and the other would sing „Row wash-wash, row wash-wash,“. These two rounds and the ‚yo ho‘ would be sung at the same time, super atmospheric as a campfire song

    @nancyking Před rokem

    I always thought this was , "Hey, ho, anybody home". The tune was different than this. too. We sang it in elementary school. One guy liked it so much that he kept saying, "Hey, ho anybody home".
    The musical notes remind me of the Xylophone that had the notes printed on it that looked like a toy. We would play that sometimes in music class. It kind of depresses me when I think of my elementary school days ( the 1980s) because they were so innocent, but no more. I feel bad for the kids in this day and time.
