Sing along to the Alamosaurus rap

Sing along with the biggest name from Andy's Dino Island. The Alamosaurus is a giant in the world of dinosaurs and this track is HUGE!

Alamosaurus was one of the biggest dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period!

Where it lived: Alamosaurus roamed across southwestern North America.

When it lived: It lived during the latest part of the Cretaceous period (near the end of the dinosaurs’ age).

Dinosaur group: It belonged to the sauropods, a group of long-necked dinosaurs.

Record-breakers: Sauropods were the largest land animals ever to exist!

Super heavyweights: The biggest sauropods could weigh up to 50 tons – that’s about 10 African elephants! Only some baleen whales today are larger than these giant dinosaurs.

Diet: Alamosaurus was a herbivore, meaning it only ate plants. It had small, blunt teeth used for cropping and stripping leaves.

Special digestion system: Scientists found polished stones inside its ribcage, showing it likely had a gizzard (like some birds today). Instead of chewing, it used these stones to grind up tough plant material in its stomach.

MC Big Dino

Yo people let me introduce you to my brother – he’s Alamosaurus.

MC Small Dino

Alamo-what?

MC Big Dino

Gonna tell you who he is, where he’s from, and where he’s at. Put your hands together yeh

Cos he’s one big, big, big, dino, he’s tough and he’s heavy weighted.

MC Small Dino

Oh…like a Brachiosaurus ? Yeh? Right?

MC Big Dino

No, no, no he ain’t even related

He’s a Titanosaur, like his other relations

All Sauropods, been around for generations

Big guys like the big Dreadnoughtus

And the absolutely massive Argentinosaurus

So get ready, for HIM do the rapping

Put your hands together everybody start clapping

And make some noise cos he’s come here for us

Everybody big him up, it’s Alamosaurus!

Alamosaurus

Boom boom! Thank you, people, thank you so much!

It’s a real pleasure to be here, I appreciate the interest

Are you ready for the Alamosaurus rap?

Verse 1

I’m from the south of the USA

I lived a long time ago, but not today

My ancestors they loved exploring

Walking, wandering, eating and roaring

In South America their journey began

It took a long time and they didn’t have a plan

But they made it all the way to Texas and Utah

Legendary dinosaurs, that’s what we are

Chorus

Boom! Alamosaurus

I’m an Alamosaurus

He’s a heavy guy

I’m a heavy guy

Ala – Alamosaurus

Seriously wide, seriously high!

Boom! Boom! 

Alamosaurus

He’s a heavy guy

I’m a heavy guy

Ala - Alamosaurus

Seriously wide, seriously high!

Verse 2

That’s right, I’m big, I’m wide, I’m tall

I’m one of the biggest Titanosaurs of all

I lived about 70 million years ago

It was called the Cretaceous period you know

Wanna know why I walk real, real slow?

If you were 50 tons then you’d probably know

My size means attackers find it hard to defeat me

Cos I’m too big for most predators to eat me

Chorus

Verse 3

Just greens in my diet, no ifs, no buts

My teeth are massive and I’ve got great guts

I swallow plants whole, I don’t even chew

I gulp them down and leave them to stew

My neck’s so long I got my head in the sky

Like a double decker bus staked up (two high)

(I’m 11 metres tall and 20 metres long)

But enough of the facts, let’s have a sing along!

Here we go…

Boo ya!

Chorus

Breakdown Chorus

Boom! Alamosaurus

I’m an Alamosaurus

He’s a heavy guy

I’m a heavy guy

Ala – Alamosaurus

Seriously wide, seriously high!

Boom! Boom!

Alamosaurus

He’s a heavy guy

I’m a heavy guy

Ala - Alamosaurus

Seriously wide, seriously high!
