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.
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 just the song the mp3 is above…
But if you want the total experience…
Here’s the video…
Here’s a brand new “Song Of the Week”!
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
A new “Song Of the Week”…
And yes, it’s a sequel!
I kept getting told what a sad song it was – and this, my friends, is a happy place – So here it is!
Why the butterfly on his chest? Well why not?
Once again… A brand new “Song Of the Week”!
Garden John
He wakes up to the sound of horns beepin’ – Instead of dreams it seems he’s got a big meeting – Go back to silent zoo – Sing – And they’re gone – ‘Cause it’s dawn – And he yawns – Puts his tie on – Today – He stumbles through the doors of tower’s gleamin’ – In his lapel – A flower – Does the redeeming – In his dreams the grass is green – Sing – Garden John – And they’re gone – ‘Cause he’s drawn – On and on – Won’t mow that lawn – No way – His yard is long and tall with bug’s a teamin’ – The flowers bloom and swoon to his heart beatin’ – A song or two wanders through – Sing – Garden John – On and on – He sings his song – Garden John – Lives upon – His dreams
A brand new “Song Of the Week”!
Frank’s Space Prank
Running in place – Caught up to find that you were floating in space – I’ve got to remind you that your cord is gonna come undone – Even if you’re having fun – Strange little place – Went where the computer said – Stayed here too long – The light is on and blinking red – Captain says to get on board – If your cord breaks you’re gonna soar – Away – So long – Floating away – Smile on your face – I saw through the visor – As you floated away hanging on the wires of the cord that had come undone – Drifted off into the sun – Away – So long – Floating away – Frank’s space prank – A rocket flashing through the sky – Coming in safe – Glad to see he’s alright but I wish he would’ve told someone – He’d gone and put a jet-pack on – Today
A brand new “Song Of the Week” … this is for William V. Hogsed, we just knew him as “Bill” …a very sweet man.
Here’s the lyrics:
Bill Get’s Up
‘Ole Bill gets up – Then Bill gets down – His juice is fresh – His toast is brown – He brings the bats a telescope – He brings the bunnies a jump-rope – He brings a whistle for the birds – ‘Cause they don’t know the words – He teaches them to play – But he can’t stay awake – So Bill gets up – And Bill gets down – His suit is pressed – His toast is brown – He brings the snake a pair of boots – For butterflies he brings parachutes – He brings the bears some books to read – It isn’t what they need – The hour’s getting late – They’ve got to hibernate – He brings his things to everyone – They don’t need things – But things are fun – He brings the bugs some kites to fly – They don’t know how or why – But Bill still helps them try – He’s just that kind of guy – And Bill gets up – Then Bill gets down – His juice is fresh – His toast is brown
