One Elephant, Deux Éléphants

Untitled

One Elephant, Deux Éléphants is the first album by popular children's entertainers Sharon, Lois & Bram, originally released in 1978. Throughout their career, the album has been re-released many times under various titles. The song "One Elephant, Deux Éléphants" became the opening theme to their popular children's television show, The Elephant Show, which ran for five seasons. This was also the first time that Sharon, Lois, and Bram covered Skinnamarink, which became the group's signature song and was performed at the end of every episode of The Elephant Show and Skinnamarink TV.
