If you were walking by my home, odds are that you would be like everyone else I have spotted. The music and bouncing sounds would make you turn your head. With 4 children under 10 you can bet that we have a lot going on! With the addition of a bounce house and the new ‘The Jimmies’ cd things have only gotten louder.

Good thing we are not in an apartment, right? I would feel for anyone who had to listen to this ruckus. Not, the cd but the dulcet tones of my completely tone deaf 4 year old as she sings along with tunes like ‘Soaper the Scaredybot’ and ‘What’s that sound?’.

I’ll tell you what that sound is. My little rockstars throwing a concert for the entire neighborhood.

Not that I mind. The cd has some totally groovin’ tracks. Music for children normally sends Mom and Dads running for cover. The music makes you want to either plug your ears with the closest thing that will fit in the canal OR it becomes stuck in your head. How many of you have gotten funny looks from co-workers then suddenly realized you were singing some weird kid tune?

That’s right, I can see most of you nodding right now.

While the lyrics to The Jimmies songs are made for children, the rhythm is something parents can live with. A huge change from ‘Pop Goes The Weasel’. Not babyish at all which is great when your child is too old for nursery tunes but too young for the Top Ten. Seriously, when Terisa, (my 4 year old) started singing some of the lyrics from the radio I knew it was time to get the kids their own stereo.

If you happen to live in NYC, The Jimmies make appearances quite often. Kind of jealous because I would love to see these guys in person!
