The song was made up by the creators of textbooks Bob Barner and Lynn Graber, while working on making educational materials for children in 1989 while living in San Francisco, California.
“The Wheels on the Bus” is the quintessential example of musical works that are considered to be ‘traditional.’ A traditional song – one that is considered to be folk music – is one that was passed down orally from generation to generation. Many people imagine some kind of national treasure containing pieces of historical information, but some songs are actually completely fictitious which had been invented by individuals during the Renaissance Era. If you want some songs for your children, consider choosing some songs made in more recent years with lyrics that fill their minds with imagination! It could really help them advance intellectually.
