SOUNDTRACK: MOONA LUNA-“Vamos! Let’s Go!” (2012).
This song opens with a surf guitar lick and then is dominated by keyboard chords.
The first verses are sung in Spanish (by a delicately voiced woman). The chorus of “vamos, let’s go” is super fun and easy to sing along to. But the second half of the song is sung in English (I assume it’s the same words–my Spanish is okay).
It’s a simple song, catchy as anything and you learn some Spanish too! And check out how cute that cover is.
I also just learned that Moona Luna is a side project of the band Pistolera whom I’ve heard of but not heard. This one came on the Kids Corner 25th Anniversary CD.
[READ: October 23, 2013] Goofballs #4: The Mysterious Talent Show Mystery
Goofballs #4 proved to be my favorite of all of the Goofballs because the main new character in the book is a redhead named T. (just like my daughter!) [I secretly believe that Tony Abbott read our blog and saw a picture of T. and decided to name a character after her–even if it was C. who was the one who read all the Droon books with me].
Our four goofy sleuths Jeff Bunter, Mara Lubin, Kelly Smitts, and Brian Rooney are of course present and this time they are preparing for a talent show. This year’s new director of the talent show is T. Rinkle, a genuine goofball in her own right. For one thing, she has scheduled the Talent Show for Friturday! And worse yet, no matter how good (or bad) someone’s talent is, Ms Rinkle tells them that they are great.
But then things get really weird–things start happening which seem like the Talent Show will never happen. A giant tuba goes missing, the costumes come back in all the wrong sizes and the scripts are missing pages. What is going on? (more…)
