"I Chew" - Hullabaloo

Artist: Hullabaloo

Song: "I Chew"

Album: I Chew

Description: Steve Denyes has a new album out later this month. The album grew out of Denyes’ challenge to himself last February to write and record a song a day for 3 weeks.  He took the best songs, recorded them in the studio with band partner Brendan Kremer and a third artist, and a year later now he’s releasing a video a day.  OK, not really.  The title track is simple, but there’s enough humor in seeing the stuffed panda bear in different situations to amuse the preschoolers that are the heart of Hullabaloo’s audience.

"Shake Your Pirate Booty" - The Boo Hoo Crew

Artist: The Boo Hoo Crew

Song: "Shake Your Pirate Booty"

Album: Shake Your Pirate Booty

Description: Southern California's BHC aren't completely a pirate band, but they've got enough pirate-themed songs that they compiled them onto a single disk, and the title track has an animated video.  With International Talk Like a Pirate Day barely a month away, think of this as an amuse bouche to whet your appetite.

Not that pirates  ever eat amuse bouches.

"Out Standing" - Hullabaloo

Artist: Hullabaloo

Song: "Out Standing"

Album: Raise a Ruckus (to be released September 2012)

Description: Lead Hullabaloo-ster Steve Denyes shows that it's possible to have fun with a mere sprinkler in this video for the country-folk celebration of getting wet.  (As a desert resident lacking a pool, I can relate.)  I am worried about some of those instruments, though.
