A dad friend of mine was listening to this song the other day and commented, "Do you really want to encourage kids to party like this?" Um, yes. KIDS ALREADY PARTY! It's their life mission! They just want to party all day long, even into the night! Their version of partying involves playing, making things, running and jumping, going to extreme emotional places, and finally crashing down in a big heap at the end of the day to restore their little bodies and integrate all the new stuff into their little minds and hearts. We are lucky we get to party with them, I say.
For fun, can you find references to Prince, The Gourds, Lesley Gore?
Lastly, this song is also the secret hiding place for the title of the record! Can you find it???
