What was that video called?

What's this kids sing-along video I'm remembering from the '80s?
When I was very young (in the mid to late '80s) I had a VHS sing-along tape that I watched all the time. Just to satisfy my own weird curiosity, I'm trying to figure out what it was now. It's like an itch that I can't scratch.
The theme was using your imagination. At one point somebody says "it's scientifically impossible… but imaginatively true" or something to that effect. I remember that all the sets were very sparse. There were a number of kids, and a pirate villain who becomes friendly at the end.
Some of the songs that I remember:
Yellow Submarine
Going on a Bear Hunt
Pop Goes the Weasel (I think?)
STOP… In The Name of Fish (before you go kersplish)
Is this ringing any bells? I'm just trying to get a title so I can look it up on IMDb or maybe find some clips on YouTube to jog the old memory. I'm suspecting this video was pretty obscure.

Response by poster: Good suggestion, but the video in question was a self-contained sing-along show, about 30 minutes long or so. I guess it's even more obscure than I realized (even with a popular song licensed, I assume, from the Beatles).
