You Can Make Music with Anything
"You Can Make Music with Anything " is an original Barney song, written for "Special Skills ". It debuted however in Let's Make Music .
Lyrics [ ]
Take a metal can.
Turn it upside-down.
Pound on it like it's a drum
Listen to the sound!
You can take two cups.
Add a little rice.
Put 'em together,
and shake, shake, shake.
Now doesn't that sound nice!
Anything, anything,
you can make music with anything.
Anything, anything,
you can make music with anything.
A little glass bottle,
you can play it like a flute.
When you blow across the top,
it makes a "toot, toot, toot!"
How about a horn.
Take a big seashell.
If you blow into one end,
it's a trumpet as you can tell.
Everybody now!
Oh, anything, anything,
you can make music with anything.
Anything, anything,
you can make music with anything.
You can make music with anything!

Trivia [ ]
After the tag is sung, all four instruments are played in two rounds before the final chorus in this order: Seashell, Cups of Rice, Glass Bottle, Metal Can w/ Stick.
Every rendition of the song features Riff, except for Celebrating Around The World .
When the song debuted in Let's Make Music , Melanie adds a violin solo to the end of the instrument combo. She also tries to end the song uniquely, but is unsuccessful.
In Rhythm , Baby Bop tries unsuccessfully to play the can after the song, repeating the chorus halfway as she does.
In Lights! Camera! Action!: A Movie Adventure , Riff changes the tag to “Watch this!” since he’s the only one playing the instruments.
