"We've Got Rhythm" is the fourth episode from the fourth season of Barney & Friends.

Plot

The peace and quiet of an otherwise typical day is shattered when BJ arrives on the scene playing his favorite drum! Barney and his friends show BJ that a drum is much more than just a noisemaker. A clapping game demonstrates the concept of rhythm and the group discovers other rhythms around them -- ranging from heartbeats to jump rope games. A reading activity introduces the children to drums from many lands, and thanks to the Barney Bag, everyone gets to create a rhythm instrument of his or her own! Barney introduces a special Native American friend who shows how the drum is important to Native American culture.

Trivia

• This episode marked:
  • The only time Hannah and Maria appear together.
  • The fourteenth episode where time lapse is used. In "Boom, Boom, Ain't It Great To Be Crazy", Chip, Ashley and Hannah are in their crazy costumes while staring at the camera. There is also a movable freeze frame of Chip in a crazy costume while holding toys.
  • This is another time something happens to the Barney doll before coming to life. It was BJ playing his drum so loud, making the Barney doll about to tilt and fall down on the top of the balcony in the treehouse, and he slides down, then he comes to life.
• The BJ costume that was used during the middle of this episode would later be used in '"Going On A Bear Hunt" and "Let's Go to the Zoo."
• When this episode aired on Treehouse Television, "Everybody Should Listen" is sung, but cut short.
• "Rhythm" from Season 10 is a semi-remake of this episode.
