Reminds me of an old radio broadcast or some kind of audio recording that I've been trying to find for ~25 years. My mom had listened to it when she was younger, and had somehow managed to get it onto cassette tape for us to listen to when we were kids. It was some kind of Christmas story we'd listen to while decorating cookies, a kind of crazy tale that you never heard anywhere else, involving the towns of "Twinkle Twankle" and "Twonkle Twonkle" and other crazy wordplay like that. Unfortunately, that's the only unique bit that I remember, save for recalling a melody or two here and there and the timbre of the narrator's voice, neither of which help in tracking it down.
I'd love the satisfaction of tracking it down some day just like this person did.
- Reubachi 2y agoYou'd be happy to know that googling "Twankle Twonkle Twonkle" will yeild the result you're looking for :) I just found a few that look to be exactly what you describe.
- teruakohatu 2y agoI am not the OP but nothing Google served up to me resembled an old radio show. , even after instructing Google to search for the exact phrase.
- jjulius 2y agoNo it doesn't[1]. Dropping the quotes just yields a bunch of results with those words, but nothing resembling what I'm looking for. I was very confident when I posted my initial comment that this was the case - after all, those four words are the only thing I recall, and therefore are what I have frequently Googled for. :) [1]https://imgur.com/a/BYM3d1r https://imgur.com/a/BYM3d1r

- Null-Set 2y agoI don't believe it mentioned Twinkle Twankle but your description reminded me of the old radio play The Cinnamon Bear where some kids eventually go to the North Pole looking for their Silver Star. https://youtu.be/0XIijKoRJ6A?si=zsXuaYNT60jtPt4f https://youtu.be/0XIijKoRJ6A?si=zsXuaYNT60jtPt4f
