"Blue Bird Blue Bird Through My Window" is documented as a children's singing game that has African American origin or early African American adaptations.

Read my comments after Showcase Video #4 in which I recommend NOT using color references when playing this game (such as "Black bird Black bird" or "White bird White bird" instead of the standard words "Blue bird, Blue bird".

SHOWCASE VIDEO #3- Ring Play: Bluebird! Bluebird!



whitfiddy, Dec 19, 2012

Kids at the Deep Creek Middle School(Eleuthera, Bahamas) afternoon program take time out to play a game.
-snip-
"Ring play" is an old Caribbean and Black American term for playing games in a circle (i.e. singing games that are performed by children forming a circle).

The word "plays" is the general referent that Bessie Jones, singer and co-author with Bess Lomax Hawes of the Step It Down book of Gullah Geechee  [Georgia] children's songs and games, used to refer to those recreational compositions and their performances.

SHOWCASE VIDEO #4- Blue Bird



Vincent Bates, March 30, 2011
-snip-
These lyrics use the color of birds instead of just singing "blue bird blue bird through my window." for instance singing "Black bird Black bird through my window".

 However, given the racial history and present racial dynamics/sensitivities in the United States and elsewhere in the world, I strongly believe that when playing this singing game, people shouldn't use other color words instead of "blue".

This statement applies even if these color designations are meant to only refer to what a child is wearing (for instance if a White child is wearing a black shirt and the group sings "Black bird, Black bird through my window").

The consequences of chanting "Black bird Black bird") or "Brown bird Brown bird" could be almost as bad as if the only Black child or the only Black child in the group is wearing a black shirt and the group sings "Black bird Black bird through my window."

The same goes for the only Brown child or any Brown child and the group sings "Brown bird, Brown bird through my window."

These statements shouldn't be interpreted to mean that there's anything wrong with being Black or being Brown. Nor do these statements mean that people should always be colorblind when it comes to everyday interactions. However, in the context of performing children's singing games and rhymes, my recommendation is that people should be mindful of the implication of words that could have unexpected negative emotional consequences given past and current racial realities.

EARLY LYRICS FOR "BLUE BIRD BLUE BIRD" THROUGH MY WINDOW
From http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=158590
"Subject: Lyr Add: Little Bird, Little Bird
From: Joe Offer
Date: 18 Nov 15 - 06:55 PM

This has been mentioned a couple of times here, but there hadn't been a thread on it. I know it as "Bluebird, Bluebird" or more commonly "Little Bird, Little Bird." Here are the lyrics I came up with for the Rise Again Songbook:

LITTLE BIRD, LITTLE BIRD

Little bird, little bird fly through my window (3x)
And buy molasses candy

Fly thru my window my sugar lump (2x)
And buy molasses candy

insert: chickadee, jaybird, whippoorwill, robin, bluebird, crow,
bobwhite, hummingbird

——trad. (Amer. play party song)*

Players join hands in a circle & raise their joined hands to form windows. One or more birds in the center go in & out the
windows. At "buy molasses candy" bird stops at another player, who then goes to the center.

In American Folk Songs for Children (Ruth Crawford Seeger). On Pete Seeger Birds, Beasts, Bugs, & Little Fishes (as "Fly thru My Window") & Eliz Mitchell You Are My Little Bird.

The "Traditional Ballad Index" entry for this song (in 2016) is http://www.fresnostate.edu/folklore/ballads/OpGa097.html. This song is listed under the name "Little Bird Through My Window", but the title on the page is "Bluebird".

Here's information about the term "play party":
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_party_(U.S._traditional)
"A play party is a social event in which people gather to sing and dance. Play parties began in the 1830s in the United States as a route around strict religious practices banning dancing and the playing of musical instruments. The areas most influenced by the practice were the Southern and Midwestern parts of the United States. Folk songs, many of European and English origin, were used as means to give the attendants choreographed movements for each phrase. No instruments were played at the events, as they were banned by the religious movements of the area. Singing and clapping were used to convey each song. Because dancing was banned, the movements took on the quality of children's games. Though the performance of play parties dwindled in the 1950s, music educators use them as ways to incorporate music and dance in their classrooms.[1]

Some traditional examples of play-parties are: Skip to My Lou, Buffalo Gals, Bingo, Pop Goes the Weasel, Old Dan Tucker, Coffee Grows on White Oak Trees, Shoot the Buffalo, etc."

Lyrics for this version: Bluebird bluebird, through my window (3x)
Oh! I am really tired"

Play instructions: At the beginning of this game, an adult calls out one child’s name and only that child only goes “through the window” (under the arms of other people forming the circle). At the end of the song, that child rejoins the circle (at any position in that circle), and the song begins with the same adult calling out another child’s name. Presumably, this continues until the adult judges that the group is getting tired of playing this game.

Example #3: Bluebird Through My Window Demo



Deborah K Oakes Published on Apr 24, 2013

The lyrics to this song are the same as or very similar to those given in the mamalisa.com quote above.

Here's how this singing game was played:
The group forms a large circle. Each person forming the circle holds hands with the person on either side and then the group holds up both arms, forming an arch (a window).

The song begins and one designated person (DP) goes through each "window". When the group sings "take a girl and pat her on the shoulder", the DP randomly selects a girl and taps her on the shoulder. That girl then follows the DP under "through each window". When the group sings "take a boy and pat him on the shoulder", the DP randomly selects a boy and taps him on the shoulder. That boy then follows the girl and the DP. When that rendition of the song is over, the DP and the selected girl and boy form a new circle in the center of the first circle.

When the song begins again, the DP and those she or he had selected start the selection process again. This continues until everyone has been selected to follow the DP.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTES
I came across while "surfing" YouTube. I had recently subscribed to Steve Judd's YouTube channel, but this was the first time that I came across any videos of Sue Brayne. After watching this video-which admittedly went over my head lots of times, I also subscribed to Sue Brayne's YouTube channel. I liked the bantering, casual conversation, and close friends vibes these two projected. And I understood enough of the astrological discussion to want to share what they were saying with the people on this pancocojams blog who are interested in astrology.

As such, what these two "seasoned" astrologers are saying feels like a continuation of the last post on astrology that I published on November 1, 2026- "The Astrology of the 2026 United States Midterms: Election Chaos, Delays & a Major Turning Point."
https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2026/11/the-astrology-of-2026-united-states.html 

I recommend that people reading this pancocojams post also read that November 1st post -either before or afterwards.

So MUCH has happened since November 1, 2026, particularly in the United States that massive Blue Tsunami of a midterm election that brought what previously would have been considered to be impossible results-such as (two cite just two examples) Texas becoming a blue (Democratic) state and a Black American man winning the election in Mississippi and becoming that state's Democratic United States Senator-elect.

Other than that, this transcript is given "as is" with no time stamps, no punctuation marks additions,  and no spelling corrections etc. Corrections regarding these speaker designations are welcome.]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOenUWN7N-0

... [Sue] "So talking of which, I think we ought to move on now um to what's cooking.

[Steve] in that sky above so much. Yeah. Should we do it in chronological order?

[Sue] Shall we? Yes, that would be a good idea. I think that's what the only way my brain is going to be able to cope with what's going on.

[Steve] Well, Mercury retrograde stationing squaring Pluto for a week.

[Sue] [laughter]

[Steve] Yep. Uh, hunker down all. [laughter] Just be really extra careful about not getting into any fights or saying not, you know, crazy stuff to to each other.

[Sue] Just be really mindful of that.

[Steve] Um, Mercury is retrograde, standing still over the next two or three days, squaring the ruler of Scorpio, which Mercury is in. And Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, is in Aquarius, where Mercury is exalted.

[Sue] [snorts]

[Steve] Yeah.

So, it seems to me that there's this is not just a little bit of two bits of sandpaper going up against each other gently. This is boom, hammer and tongs.

In fact, it's more than that. This is sharp knives with poison tips.

[Sue] Yeah, this is subtrauge.

[Steve] There's a lot going on in the background behind the scenes that we're not aware of yet. But look at what's been happening in the last few days in the UK.

[Sue] Yes.

[Steve] David Williams, Russell Brand, and others yet to be named.

[Sue] And others yet to be named. And look what's happening in um Spain as well with all the riots.

[Steve] Yeah. And and France last week with the riots.

[Sue] Yeah. And American the American political system is hanging on a knife edge at the moment.

[Steve] And don't forget Trump's um chart is being really triggered as well. His shortly. Yeah. The next and I noticed

[Sue] that nice Mr. Hexf got into big trouble yesterday.

[Steve] I know. It's such a shame. I can't understand why. Can you?

[Sue] Well, laughing in the face of the death of thousands of American soldiers and being bollocked by a soldier. Oh, well that was

[Steve] appropriate I think. Well, anyway, I think his days are numbered.

[Sue] Oh god. Yeah. Yeah.

[Steve] Well, a lot of people in America days are numbered in the political level.

[Sue] [clears throat]

Yeah. I mean, Mercury's not, isn't it? But it's also scary.

[Steve] Of course, it's scary, but it's it's more than scary because Mercury's not that comfortable in Scorpio. Let's face it.

All right. Unless you're a private detective or a tax inspector.

Um, Mercury and Scorpio is like it it doesn't take things at face value. No.

[Sue] To dig deep, get it has that forensic mind, doesn't it? Yeah, very much so. Yeah.

[Steve] And when it's square Pluto, it's particularly going to go for the rot and the poison. Yeah.

[Sue] Hence all the sex cases in this last week.

[Steve] Yeah. and and and Mercury's going to stay square to Pluto till well basically this time next week.

So yeah, it's move it's moving forward as of tomorrow afternoon. But [clears throat] even so even so there's more to come.

[Sue] There's to there's all but the thing is Steve there's always more to come, isn't there? That's the thing. But it's the theme of the more to come.

[Sue] Yeah. So, you know, just to say everyone out there, just be I mean, we're not doomongerers, but just be really cautious and careful. What I am interested in, and maybe this does feed into this, the fact even in Holland, they're being advised to get at least three to five days of food and supplies.

[Steve] I've been speaking to people all around the world in this last week and it's up to 30 or 40 countries now been saying the same to their population.

[Sue] Yes. I also noticed that Sweden has now banned laptops and mobiles from the classroom and they're going back to books and paper, pen and paper um because of the hacking. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

And um that's interesting. That's very Pluto in Aquarius, isn't it? My god. But this is this is if what we think is if the unspoken thing that we think is going to happen shortly does happen, it's going to tip a certain person over the edge then the world will unite against them, including people who they might think are their allies because the whole of world trade will be impacted.

[Steve] Yes. Yeah. I this is not a long-term permanent thing.

[Sue] No, it's Yeah, it's going it is life changing though. I'm going it is. Yeah, it's going.

[Steve] And coming back to what you said about to individuals being careful. Yeah

At the moment there's a lot of people cutting loose just delivering words that in a sane world they wouldn't say. Yeah.

[Sue] So I I am also asking people out there look there's a lot of vitriol.

Don't let it get to you and don't give it back.

[Steve] Yeah. And just Yeah. And you know yourself watch the addiction of getting onto social media and you know in that immediate kind of really you know nasty

[Sue] You don't need to do that. Just take a breath and go for a walk instead. Don't feed [clears throat] the beast.

[Steve] Exactly. But that's just the star. That's just Mercury square Pluto.

[Steve] ... This is a this is a double prong thing because first you got the sun on its own square Jupiter a node and Mars and then less than a week later on the 24th you've got that full moon moon conjunct Uranus yes um and sudden changes or something and and Mars is at 29 Leo degrees yeah now not only is that regulus in most of our charts there are some people who say that regulous has moved into Virgo maybe. I'm not sure. Yeah.

But 29 degrees Leo has always been the degree of Regulus, the royal star, the emperar of the emperor, the king, the president, the the royal figure. And [clears throat] let me think, I'm trying to think of someone famous who might have a prominent point such as the ascendant at 29 Leo. Can you think of anyone?

[Sue] Uh, [laughter]

I mean, yeah, it's mind you orange. Does he live in America? The orange guy. The orange guy.

[Steve] Yeah.

[Sue] Mind you, Steve, people have been foretelling his downfall for a very long time, and he bounces back like a rubber ball.

So, I don't know, but maybe this is it.

[Steve] Something with Mercury square Pluto now and especially with the result of Mississippi this morning. Yeah. Yes. Right.

[Sue] I am certain that there's words going on in the background.

[Steve] Yeah. Yeah. But I think that the sun square Jupiter and node Mars in in four or five days time is going to bring those words out into the world and then there will be action full moon conjunct Uranus action action.

[Sue] Yeah.

[Steve] surprising action, sudden surprising Oh, didn't Oh, didn't really I suspect certain individuals in the world will suddenly um be retiring from position due to ill health.

[Sue] Yes. Yes. Or wanting to spend more time with their family. Yes.

[Steve] Or standing too close to fifth floor windows.

[Sue] Whoops. Cancel clearly. Yes. Uh yes.

[Steve] [laughter] I'm not at my most subtle today, Sue.

[Sue] I don't think either of us are really, but I think I absolutely I find it I do I mean I am I'm very conscious of the of being told to get food and supplies in which well you know it's always been nibbling in the background but it's like the government is telling us to do this and you know that the Holland is doing that in Poland I think it's it's at least eight days supply something's going on in the background that we don't know about something's cooking"...

DJ Slide (William Perry Jr.) was more widely known as "DJ Casper". In 2000 DJ Casper recorded what became the mega hit song "Cha Cha Slide".

DJ Slide's "Mississippi Cha Cha Slide" is the first recorded example of a regional version of the "Cha Cha Slide." That 2006 version of that soul line dance song includes the words "back it up and jump" but doesn't include the words "Hold It".
