SOUNDTRACK: THE HIPWADERS-Dewey Decimal System (2007).
A bouncy bass line introduces this song about the Bookmobile crashing into your house. The librarian gives him a card and teaches him how to use the library. The bridge is very sweet, especially compared to the silly, bouncy “Dewey Dewey Dewey Dewey Dewey decimal system” part.
Then the clever song teaches you the basic categories of the Dewey Decimal System. That section musically reminds me of School House Rock. It’s kind of a harsh switch from the School House Rock section to the Dewey Dewey section, but that Dewey part is so catchy that it’s a fun change.
It’s an enjoyable song (and informative too). This song appears on the WXPN Kids Corner CD.

Goofballs #5 continues this enjoyable series. This one seemed to be even funnier than the others (more jokes per page!). I enjoyed this joke which was if not laugh out loud funny is certainly smile-worthy: “The official Goofball definition of toddler is someone too short to reach a doorknob but not too short to reach a cupcake.”
What was also funny, but strange funny, was that lead Goofball Jeff Bunter started finding clues without evening having a case. Jeff is heading to the library for Fun Day for the toddlers. But when he sees a woman walking out of store with pink balloons, he deems it a clue. How can that possibly be? Well, he is the detective, after all.
It’s also nearly Halloween. And of course the other Goofballs are there. Brian is there in a tuxedo (which he imagines he can wear for Halloween. He also has a top hat that is way too big for him (although he assumed that since he brain is so big it should have fit). And the other Goofballs and Goofdog are there to help out, of course. (more…)
