Occult New Age children’s TV show songs
Children’s entertainment in whatever form—movies, TV shows, cartoons, books, comic books, etc.—are utterly saturated with occult New Age themes, immorality and non-, to anti-, Christian themes.
Children’s entertainment which would be ousted from the TV, theaters and bookstores if they contained Christian themes are celebrated therein when they contain, as they do, blatant occult New Age “spirituality.”
Consider that when Veggie Tales was placed on broadcast TV its Christian theme was utterly whipped out to the point that its creator stated that had he known what they would do to it he would never have sold it.
Let us consider the lyrics to three shows for the little ones.
Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination And when he’s tall He’s what we call a dinosaur sensation Barney’s friends are big and small They come from lots of places After school they meet to play And sing with happy faces Barney shows us lots of things Like how to play pretend ABC’s, and 123’s And how to be a friend Barney comes to play with us Whenever we may need him Barney can be your friend too
If you just make-believe him!
Overall, this seems pretty harmless and surely, kids are very imaginative and exercising their imaginations is to be encouraged. Yet, the question is towards what ends are their imaginations being put, in this case?
There is a subtle hint here which is actually quite blunt when you notice it. Barney is actually a character and thus, is not “from our imagination.”
The last lines are really just a prescription for how occult practices call upon their various “spirit guides” (demons by any other name). For some reason, kids, who can and do watch Barney on TV are being told that he can/will “comes to play with us” us being the kids on the TV program “Whenever we may need him” at their beck and call but more telling is the statement, “Barney can be your friend too. If you just make-believe him!”
The other Barney song, the “I love you You love me” song states, “Won’t you say you love me too…We’re best friends like friends should be.”
Thus, this make believe TV character can become your personal non-TV friend if the child will just make-believe him. This teaches kids to employ their wills towards creating or inviting entities which are to communicate with them.
Theme song from the cartoon Arthur:
Every day when you’re walking down the street, everybody that you meet Has an original point of view And I say HEY! what a wonderful kind of day. Where you can learn to work and play
And get along with each other
It is true that everybody that you meet has an original point of view or, at least, their own points of views.
You got to listen to your heart Listen to the beat Listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street
Open up your eyes, open up your ears
Why is listening to our hearts something that we “got to” do? This is a worldview based epistemological prescription amounting to that we discern truth via seeing how it feels.
Yet, Jeremiah 17:9 states, “”The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?” Thus, Christians are not to rely on their hearts for truth, epistemology, discernment, etc.
It may be reading too much into it but “the rhythm of the street” may refer to the common beliefs de jour. This is because the hoi polloi, the masses of commoners are generally referred to as the street.
Get together and make things better by working together It’s a simple message and it comes from the heart Believe in yourself [echo: believe in yourself]
Well that’s the place to start
Can we “Get together and make things better by working together” with people who all have different beliefs, “an original point of view”? Sure we can, it may be challenging but diversity does not necessarily equal impossibility of working together on what have you (think of your workplace).
But here it comes again as the “simple message…comes from the heart” which is deceitful and sick is to “Believe in yourself.” Wait! Why? See the point, forget YHVH, forget Jesus, but believe in yourself. This is another occult New Age worldview based prescription.
The song ends:
And I say HEY! what a wonderful kind of day Where you learn to work and play
And get along with each other
Lastly, the theme song from Sonic the Hedgehog with a very familiar theme, this is the character Tails’ theme:
When all alone in my chair, I just go about wishing I wanna be strong, I really wanna be trusted When all alone in my bed, I just go about yearning I wanna be cool, I also wanna be like him But that’s not something I can do so easily This is not simply my way, my style Gotta get a hold of my life [Chorus] I wanna fly high So I can reach the highest of all the heavens Somebody will be waiting for me so, I have got to fly higher When all alone in my sleep, I just go about dreaming I see myself there, having the same adventure If I just follow you, I will never see the light Now is the time to find my way through this life I’m trying so hard to be strong Gotta keep goin’ Everything is a brand new challenge for me I will believe in myself This is the only start for me [Chorus] Many friends help me out, in return I help them Certain things I can do and there are things that only I can do No one’s alone!
[Chorus]
Is this the theme to a cute little cartoon fox, Tails, or some sort of occult New Age hymn? Well, it is both.
The power of will in the form of wishing—will is job one in magick/witchcraft.
It is when they are alone in bed at night that kids ought yearn. Yearn to do/be what? Be strong, trusted, cool, be like him—“him” who , Sonic? Masonic? ;o)
“I wanna fly high / So I can reach the highest of all the heavens”—Tails
“I will ascend to heaven / I will ascend above the heights of the clouds”—Lucifer (see Isaiah 14:13-14)
Who is Tails talking to here, “If I just follow you, I will never see the light”? In any case, Tails has to “find my way through this life” and states “I will believe in myself.”
“I will…I will…I will…I will…I will…” guess who? Hint, see Isaiah 14:13-14 again.
Recall that the theme from Arthur stated:
Believe in yourself / Well that’s the place to start
Tail’s theme is virtually identical:
I will believe in myself / This is the only start for me
Lastly, note a good ol’ fashioned nursery rhyme:
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily.
Life is but a dream.
What? Life is but—meaning just, solely—a dream?!?! What sort of odd, weird, twisted worldview is this?
Who would have written such a thing for kids? Well, not one seems to know.
The rhyme was published in 1852 AD (with similar lyrics as those well-known ones above). In their book Dark Side of the Tune: Popular Music and Violence (Ashgate Popular and Folk Music), authors Bruce Johnson and Martin Cloonan note versions and/or extensions of the song which include irreverence and violence.
Examples of these are:
Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream. If you see a crocodile, Don’t forget to scream. Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream. Throw your teacher overboard And listen to her scream
—from Cynthia Lightfoot’s The Culture of Adolescent Risk-Taking Culture and Human Development
Examples of children’s entertainment—keep in mind that amusement literally means lack of musing aka thoughtlessness—is literally saturated with odd, strange, bizarre and occult New Age worldview talking point.
…whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
—Matthew 18:6
