Well folks, we're at the half-way point with this "Song Of the Week" thing and man has it been fun! This one is from our recent little trip to Mammoth.
We've got the CD together and it should be up here in a couple more weeks.
Thank you again for all the comments... Give me MORE!!!

Cows In A Volcano
Cows roam in a volcano - Preparing for the show - We follow the chalk white road - Feel the hot wind blow - Sitting in a hot springs - Bubblin' in the shallows - Can't even hear the birds sing - Can only hear the cows go - Moo - Cows roam in the volcano - Preparing for the show - We follow the chalk white road - Ready here we go - Sitting in a hot springs - Bubblin' in the shallows - Listenin' to the cows sing - And posin' for the photos - Moo

I wrote 2 others this week but decided that I wanted to make one up on the spot... so here it is.

This Ride
Step right in - 'Cause it's about to begin - You won't believe this ride - You'll travel far and wide - Wear a frown or a grin - Through the thick or the thin - It's what you decide - You won't believe this ride - Time to go - Let's start this show - Climb aboard - You're moving toward - What you've adored - Things unexplored - Let's go - You'll find some things - Look like Kings and Queens - Then you'll realize - They're on their own ride - You'll sing a song - And they may sing along - Or they might be quiet - Let's go...

A brand new "Song Of the Week"!
I've been wanting to do a "fort" song for awhile. When we were kids our cousin Chris Caputo built this enormous tunnel fort in his basement with boxes and duct tape. It was amazing.
Some credit also has to go to my Brazilian room-mate from my time at music school, Carlos Nascimento. There's a little snippet of music from him in this that I've been carrying around for years. And finally, the original concept and title... thanks MJ!

A brand new "Song Of the Week"!
First of all, Thank You for all of the amazing comments. I can't tell you how much your feed-back means to me. I'm going to try and start commenting back.

Now, to answer a few questions we've been getting here:
Yes, you can just push the little arrow (just like the song says) right next to the title of the newest song and then, if you should actually be working or something, just open a new window and leave mchatton.com running in the background. The little player will run through the entire current set of songs and you can (gasp) work and have fun simultaneously!

Yes, that's a new page over there on the right (Groups That Have Had Me As A Member). Let me know if you have any photos we can add or if I've misspelled your name or something

And, yes, the two puppets on Super Friend Vacation are our latest creations. Cooper and I made them with some orange juice containers, fur, and ping pong balls a couple of weeks ago. We'll be featuring them more in upcoming posts... Stay Tuned! And, thank you again!

A little song for the fam -
Just when you think "it can't get better than this"... it does... it actually just keeps getting better all the time.

A buddy song - our first music video - and, as you'll see, we had to give up on the editing process about half-way into it and just let these two knuckleheads do their thing. Cooper's performance is a tour de force that rivals both Tobey Maguire and Robert Downey Jr's humble attempts at the super hero genre. He attacks the role with pure joy and reckless abandon.
...(still can't figure out what that head-shaped thing is that keeps popping up behind them though)...
If you just want to listen to the song here's the mp3...Super Friend Vacation.mp3
But if you want the total experience...
Here's the video...

It's A Breeze

It's a breeze - If you just try - Said the one's on the ground - To the one's in the sky - When you come down - You'll see - And then like us - You'll be - When you're up - Just don't look down - Said the one's in the sky - To the one's on the ground - When you come up you'll see - And then like us you'll be - You know sometimes it's automatic - You do some thing's so systematic - Down in the basement - Or in the attic - You stay - Maybe you're just in time to get away - It's a breeze - If they just try - For the one's on the ground - And the one's in the sky - When you join them - You'll see - And like them - You'll be
