Stewart / Joice Marie ( Jan. 31, 2010 ) Blue pedals on my little red bike Spin around as I circle the block It's not much more than a tiny trike But a lot more fun than taking a walk I got blue pedals On my little red bike Big blue pedals That's what I like Blue pedals on my little red bike Chug a lug a lug uphill I go Scabby knees are what I don't like Thirty more years and I'll be a pro I got blue pedals On my little red bike Big blue pedals That's what I like Blue pedals on my little red bike I got headphones on so I can rock You can scream at me but I'm on strike When the music's playin' I don't talk I got blue pedals On my little red bike Big blue pedals That's what I like BRIDGE.... Mommy sleeps with a cold beer can Daddy lives in mushroom land Something tells me they ain't right I got blue pedals On my little red bike Big blue pedals That's what I like I got blue pedals On my little red bike Big blue pedals That's what I like And just in case you might of forgot What color pedals I got I got blue pedals On my little red bike Big blue pedals That's what I like !

Sounds like something my grandkids would love to sing! There's a really good market for kids songs! Just ask Kaley Willow!
Very enjoyable. I like the electric guitar strums!

Cool tune Joice and Calvin! Hey, this would be great on 'Toddler Tunes' on the cable TV networks. I have Time-Warner and it's on there - grandson loves it and so do I when it's comes time for nite-nite. lol. About that time he's a little on the grumpy side. But, seriously, I do believe you have a sale here! (Probably have to change the bridge lyrics a tad though) Cha-ching! -Dave

Ha - I thought the bridge was cool Probably would have to be changed to be used anywhere - but really, who sings for the kids with drugged out parents? Maybe you have a niche there. Now I have this picture in my head of Calvin riding a bike with big blue pedals Scott

What a fine fine song! I love the lyrics. The melody is perfect for kids I believe, but if this is intended for a comercial market, some lines must be changed, because the US-market is somewhat harder to change(-: Cool collab indeed.

Calvin and Joice.....gotta love the bridge...but it does take it from the genre "a kid song"......you both have great imagination in your lyric writing....it's always fun listening to "what's next from you two"......enjoyed it....Bob

Hi Dave, Hope you're doing well, We had fun doing this song & glad to see others enjoying it too. Thnaks for your comments/suggestions. Even though the bridge MIGHT seem out of place for a kids song, and probably is for commercial success...... to me it seems like an image of the real world. Calvin !!

Hello Donna, Always nice to see your smiling face. We're sure glad you could stop by for a listen. Glad you can appreciate the song and the lines you mentioned. If, I remember correctly...this song started out as.. Blue PETALS....referring to sad flowers / etc, and it slowly took a different direction, funny how that happens when writing. Calvin !!

Hi JM & Calvin, Another joyous romp! Very imaginative but, it would seem, geared more for the drugged out parents than their kids! Ricki

Beer and mushrooms -- the parents sound incompatible to me. Another weird, wacky and fun collab from y'all -- keep it up!

Hi Dave
Thanks for the kind encouragement !!!
guess we could just leave the bridge as a musical interlude for the right fit at Time/Warner --- but as a small local act --- it could open a few eyes as is - it's nice to make a social comment too. I think. jm

Hi Ken ! Thanks for listening and your thoughts ! We're not against commercial -- but writing as they come - then honing for purpose is a decent approach, I think......
I still intend to send you some B C instrumentals.... I'm slow.....

Hi Alan, Nice to you. Hope you & Helen are doing ok. Thanks a bunch for your comments and for listening to our STUFF. Joice is fun to work with, she's a little pushy and is a real slave driver / always complains a lot, but other than that she's real cool. Have a good day. Calvin !

Super interesting guys. You guys are really improving. I like the basic groove and sound. I love the guitar sound. The words really flow musically. I like Calvin's vocal a lot and this mix shows improvement.
2 thoughts:
With that bridge, I don't see this as a kid's tune. That's pretty intense. It's an interesting bridge, but it makes this a tune more for adults IMO. Nevertheless, if the Simpsons are for kids, I don't see why this tune couldn't be.
The shaker isn't playing in rhythm to my ears.
Peace,
Ian

Hi Ian
Well I appreciate that you hear improvement ! From you a pro that 's a terrific compliment Thanks !
yes -- it's edgy -though at some point and level - kids do notice these kinds of things.....
I may do a mix without the words there in the bridge...
Mommy sleeps with a cold beer can Daddy lives in mushroom land Something tells me they ain't right
the shaker starts on the off beat and is intended to be a different faster rhythm -- I kind of like it -- but I am a little experimental that way with noises....
Best to you jm
