I'm 26 and I still remember the lines of this song from elementary school. This song randomly pops in my head every few years. It was really popular in my elementary school music classes.
This song is like a core memory in my brain sometimes I start humming it out of nowhere and after sooo many years I recalled the lyrics and looked it up and now I remember it completely
This song always really eerie for me. Back in third grade back in like the late 90s, they had us sing this in music class around halloween and there was this kid named John in the class too, who we all kind of poked fun at for it. He didn't mind, we all thought it was pretty funny.....What makes it kind of eerie now is that he was killed in a motorcycle accident a few years ago...
this song is literally.... mid October, it's a rainy an cloudy day, you are in 6th grade in 2010, you are outside waiting for the bus and you are singing this with your friends
@@zairajaneesguerra5987 yep just in 5th grade my music teacher had us sing this 😆 it was the best thing ever since I liked singing and was the first time I sung with anybody. Decided to do this with ppl I know and nobody wants to do it w me sadly, sucks cause it’s better with 2 ppl 😂😂😅.
Claire Diem I got chills hearing it because I thought about it recently and sang it to my kids. I'm 33 and probably sang it in the 1st grade. It always stuck with me and to hear it again with music behind it is really eerie and opens a part of my brain that hasn't been tapped in over 20 years.
This song popped in my head the other day(I don't know why lol), so I was curious into looking this up. I haven't heard this since 1993-94, I believe I was in the 4th grade lol
That makes 2 of us. I did the exact same thing that you did only that I heard it in the 3rd grade back in 88'. Crazy how things pop up in your head all of a sudden from when you were a kid.
Wow, nostalgia at its best, I was in 5th grade when I sang this song. This song takes me back to the 90's, crazy how things like this catch up with you when you least expect it. Lol. The 90's were great 😊
AAAAHH, I FINALLY FOUND IT. I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE TITLE TO THIS SONG WAS, HOLYSHIT. I'm sorry but this was my jam in elementary school during this time of the year. & it ain't even October yet.
This song was so eerie and scary to be that I became afraid of the dark, of graves yards and even my own death and right now as I am older i can feel my heart beating heavily
Learned this song one day in middle school music class well over 20 years ago, and never forgot it. It was probably my favorite thing we ever did in that class, haha.
I grew up off this story. Loved this song me and my sisters use to sing it , never got to sing it in chorus but my son did in middle school . I still love this song
I started Chorus in 7th grade when i first heard this song, it gave me goosebumps. One difference is we sang "Long white bones with the FLESH all gone"
me too i'm in 4th grade when we sang this song peaple in my class was cring and the light turn off we got scare😱😱😱😱😱😫😫😫😖😖😖😯😯😯😕😕😩😩😩😫😫😖😖😭😭😭😭😭😢😃😃👻👻👻👻👻💡💡💡🔦🔦🔦
Y'know, the last line makes this song a bit more light-hearted, but for the most part, this is a pretty eerie song. Why were we singing this in Elementary School Chorus?? EDIT: Also, for us, it was Tom instead of John. I've always wondered what the correct name was....
@@ballpython324 Actually, I live in the US. I'd always heard it as "Tom", but a lot of kids used to sing it as "John" instead. Maybe that's just the more popular version here.
man I remember singing this in elementary school, though the version we learned was oddly named "No Skin John", which I believe made it even creepier than it already is.
When was this song made? Because I’m seeing people talking about singing it in the 90’s and I’m really curious to know who made this and when it was made
My dad used to sing me this song in a very deep voice to me when I was little and it always freaked me out lol, I just randomly remembered it and I'm glad I did 🖤
How am i hearing this for the first time?!?! Im 33 years old...and was in choir all of middle and high school...yet never heard this until i look up vocal warm ups. Smh
When I got my English lessons at school (just to note, English is not my native language), this song was written in my textbook, and a cassette tape that came with it even contained a recording in which the song was sung. (Anybody still remembers what a cassette tape was?) I remembered the song ever since.
I remember my music teacher every Halloween she played this and I love this song I had her from first grade to 6th grade now I'm in 8th grade and i miss her
I just played this for my 7yo son. He was scared. I told him that I listened to and sang it in elementary school, then I read the comments!! Haha all of us had this in grade school , awesome!!
Listen to this song and this comment make me think of when I'm older you have to go to work and stuff like that and u don't have that much time playing with your friends or spending time with your family 😰😭
We sung this for our vocal warmups in chorus around Halloween time last year and I was thinking about it so I searched it up. Didn't know it was this old and famous. Lol
Sigh, Guess I’m gonna do this now- Mid October, Music class 4th grade You and the rest of your class where practicing this song to sing infront of many other parents, you knew trick or treating was coming up soon so you could barely concentrate Also my Dad and Brothers name is John so I remember through class I would just be thinking Is my father dead? It was hilarious 😂
Thanks for uploading this I was sleeping last night woke up and for some reason this song was stuck in my head I could barely remember that it was Johnny Bones with no skin or something looked it up and here it is 47 years old used to play this in elementary school

I think this song is taught to nearly every kid at elementary or middle or really any school. I learned it in 2nd or 3rd grade.
Claire Diem don't forget the recorder.

@SmartytasticX when did I say I was scared of a skeleton?
Ahem, he's already decayed.
Ayyy

Actually it's about the ghost
This song has stuck with me and my sisters since elementary. Im about to be 40. And yes once in a blue we sing it.

Emily Indri agreed
it was 1977 3rd grade for me. I'm shocked they still teach this.
I wouldn’t sing this at elementary because it sounded scary to me then..
OMG IT SCARED ME HORRIBLY BUT IT GETS STUCK IN MY HEAD AND THAT ANNOYS ME SO MUCH

ETPS in my school we were always told it was johnny? or maybe i just can't remember. it was years ago
@@Stormyseas_ It was Tom for me, and the ohhhh ohhhhh ohhh ohhhhh part was different. The song was also much faster.
You live in UK? I could see them using Tom version there haha
@@ballpython324
Actually, I live in the US. I'd always heard it as "Tom", but a lot of kids used to sing it as "John" instead. Maybe that's just the more popular version here.
This song all of a sudden came to mind. We used to listen to it and sing it in elementary school back in the 80s
I remember singing this in the 80's in elementary school.. brings back good memories 🤗🤗🤗
It remember me "have you seen the herobrine"
ya bro, it is. "have you seen the herobrine" is a parody
12 years later and I still remember this song word by word😂
Admit it, this song reminded you of Herobrine
man I remember singing this in elementary school, though the version we learned was oddly named "No Skin John", which I believe made it even creepier than it already is.
lol same here!😂
This was my JAM back in the day
When was this song made? Because I’m seeing people talking about singing it in the 90’s and I’m really curious to know who made this and when it was made
It's an old folk song, probably originating from the UK then brought to the United States.

They posted this ten years ago so its my age
We sang this song in elementary school in the late 1970's.

Im 43, and I can't believe I remembered not only the song but the lyrics all these years later. Kindergarten Halloween Song.
Australia doesn’t really celebrate halloween so instead we sung it as a warm up for choir, and it’s a really good vocal warm up.
Who else is watching 9 years later in 2019

I just played this for my 7yo son. He was scared. I told him that I listened to and sang it in elementary school, then I read the comments!! Haha all of us had this in grade school , awesome!!

So loved singing that song as a kid around Halloween with the 2nd chorus coming behind us the 80's were amazing!🎉🎃❤
Listen to this song and this comment make me think of when I'm older you have to go to work and stuff like that and u don't have that much time playing with your friends or spending time with your family 😰😭

Herobrine gang 👇
I remember in pre-K in music class we played this and now in 4th grade I think to my self “huh I remember this song”
Sigh, Guess I’m gonna do this now-
Mid October, Music class 4th grade
You and the rest of your class where practicing this song to sing infront of many other parents, you knew trick or treating was coming up soon so you could barely concentrate
Also my Dad and Brothers name is John so I remember through class I would just be thinking
Is my father dead?
It was hilarious 😂
Still sends shivers down my spine
This is the version from my elementary school days back in the early to mid 80's, nice. Blast from the past.
I remember singing this song on my elementary school play for halloween 😍 good old childhood times 😭
Herobrine :o
I remember this song from 1986 2nd grade. Classic Halloween song, and what stuck to me, she played it on the piano in a bass note. Eerie stuff.
