Remember Head Shoulders Knees and Toes?

Jewels, shoulders,

Knees and toys (repeat)

Ca-a-bba-age 

Lice and owls

Jewels shoulders

Knees and toys!!

You’ll never be able to unhear this! (You’re welcome.)

"ses" bougies (in the written text) où "les" bougies (in the recording)??

pourquoi vous êtes retourné au lieu de êtes retournés

I understand why “Quel est le meilleur aspirateur? “ uses  meilleur but would the answer to that question in a shop be “Cet aspirateur est mieux que ceux-là.”, or Cet aspirateur est meilleur que ceux. Is a general statement (using mieux) able to be used for comparing two specific objects the speakers are pointing to, trying on, testing out, deciding between?

In the negative half of the lesson, the adjective plus mauvais seems to be used for similarly structured sentences. Mon accent est plus mauvais que le tien. and Ses résultats sont plus mauvais que l'année dernière.

In this example sentence, "Nous sommes rentrés, les vêtements tout sales et les cheveux en bataille.", why you use tout, instead of tous? Should "tous" be agree with "les vetments" and "sales" in number?

I teach Spanish and French.  In the preterit Spanish, SABER (their equivalent of savoir) carries the idea of someone finding out a fact or knowing it for a short time.  Is this true in French in the passé composé?

In other words, does "j'ai su son nom" carry the idea "I found out his name"?  Or even "I knew his name; but forgot it"?
