What is Dada & Me: Lovey Dovey Song about?
Dada & Me: Lovey Dovey Song is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Dada, the grandfather in the Dada & Me series, makes a song to tell his grandchildren, Zayd and Aya, how very much he loves them.
It begins with a simple question. Zayd asks Dada if he loves him, and Dada answers: lots and lots, like jelly tots and candy floss and bubble gum. That sounds like the start of a song, so off they go to the song machine, with some big hearts and, of course, a toy space rocket.
The song is a string of the sweetest names Dada can think of. His grandchildren are his baby bear and his little love, his cutie monkey and lovey dove, his sunshine on a cloudy day and his cool lemonade on a hot summer's day. Their smiles are like strawberry ice cream and their giggles like butterflies. They came along, from above, and brought him more love than he thought his heart could hold. He wants to see them shine, be kind, and be brave and strong.
It is a warm, playful song that helps children feel how much their family loves them, and it gives parents and grandparents lots of pet names to borrow at bedtime. The video ends with the Dada & Me theme and a prayer thanking Allah for His blessings and asking to spread love and peace. This version is music-free: the song is sung with voices only.
