Danny Kaye's album "Hans Christian Andersen" is a delightful collection of songs inspired by the beloved Danish author's fairy tales. The album features Kaye's signature charm and wit, as he brings to life some of Andersen's most iconic stories through song.
Kaye's voice is both whimsical and powerful, perfectly capturing the spirit of Andersen's tales. The album opens with the classic "The Ugly Duckling," which Kaye sings with a heartfelt sincerity that is sure to tug at listeners' heartstrings.
Throughout the album, Kaye showcases his range as a performer, seamlessly transitioning from ballads like "Thumbelina" to more upbeat numbers like "The King's New Clothes." Each song is expertly crafted, with clever lyrics and catchy melodies that will have listeners singing along in no time.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Inchworm," a charming tune that Kaye delivers with a childlike wonder. Another highlight is "The Little Fiddle," a playful song that showcases Kaye's impressive vocal range.

(Seeing these incorrectly labeled as being from Hans Chrisyian Andersen, which they're not, elsewhere on YouTube too.)
(Knew I'd seen/heard it somewhere before.)
The one with the puppet is from Lili or at least I think that's what it's from. Not sure what the last one after it was from. ?
