This video segment from Between the Lions features Hip-Hoppapotamus and Rhymocerus rap about the meaning of the word “phenomenal.” The word “phenomenal” appears on the screen throughout the song. While fireworks explode around them, they sing about the word's synonyms, phenomenal things and the meaning of the word “phenomenal” as they get their pictures taken with awards. As the song continues about the meaning of phenomenal, Hip participates in the Superbowl, flies around dressed as a superhero, then drives up in a car and picks up Rhymocerus. The song ends as they drive away. This video segment provides a resource for Vocabulary, and Language and Vocabulary Development.
