This song is now an earworm. I have to know the name.

Paintin' and Pickin' commercial for the Kiwanis.

Thanks in advance.

Best answer: Googling for what I could hear of the lyrics.... Sounds like it's "Bubble Gum".

Best answer: Also:

Bubble bubble gum, Bubble bubble gum
Ca fait des bulles et ça colle le bubble, le bubble

It makes bubbles, and it sticks...
Et ça se mâche à l'école le bubble gum (bis)
You chew it at school...

Il en faut du savoir pour bouger ses maxilaires
You have to have the nack to move your jaws
C'est un style, un art de plaire, buller sans en avoir l'air !
It's a style, a pleasing trick, to blow bubbles without seeming to

Where I'm not at all certain of that last line, and anyway there's some untranslateable play on words there.

Seems to be a little song kids might sing together in class, as in this video!

Best answer: yes, the song is Bubble Gum, apparently a staple of music lessons in France nowadays. Here is a version.

Response by poster: Amazing as always, Mefites. Thanks again! Of the versions linked I think I like the commercial's version the best.
