thank you for solving 😊

~ the story behind this puzzle starts in my childhood - one summer, my siblings, cousins, and I got into prank calling people in Lahore, we'd play around with the house phones and came across a ring tone option that was very different from the others - it was the sound of someone sweetly singing, "i'm a big big girl in a big big world..." we would try singing along

the memory of this left me until recent times, when i had been jolted back to my earliest years through grieving for my younger brother - a small bit of the singer's voice, melody, and lyrics floated to the surface 

it occurred to me to do a search online for the song, not really expecting anything to come up - and i was overjoyed to end up finding it! listening to more of Emilia Mitiku's discography has been great ❤︎

here is "Big Big World" ~ i love the music video 

~ so i just wanted to make a simple puzzle featuring the song ♪:-)  

    the year the album was released is also very significant for me

27A:  TOYS

the teddy bear riding a motorcyle playing 'balle balle' was real. it was my brother's toy :,)

this song possesses the closest essence of the biker teddy's 'balle balle' - you're going to have to dance to this however you can......

5D:  ORG

i learned about this site through this video i watched in grad school last year - it was interesting for me to see what's needed in schools, including those i attended
