Those of you who have pineyfested...may remember Steve Goodie and his studio tour.

He says...He'd like to have one done up sweet with ...uh me singing...but I've bulked so far. Comments or criticism(s) appreciated. Comparison..piano piece is right below it...for a lighter version....your thoughts please. Children's Song Site http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=6469&content=musicThe Elephant Waltz Kaley Willow ©2007 Tiny tiptoed to his first ball room dance He felt so unsure in his saggy grey pants But his confidence grew as he walked through the door Cause there on the floor was sweet Sue Sue twirled her tail...Tiny flapped his big ears When the music began...Tiny lost all his fear With Sue by his side he was light as a fly Thump thump thump...went the elephant waltz The elephant waltz...the elephant waltz Dance one two three... one two three... thump thump thump thump thump thump The elephant waltz ...The elephant waltz one two three..one two three.. thump... thump thump Steppin high in the hall swirlin round bout the room They danced every dance...still it ended too soon They promised each other they'd meet once again To dance the elephant waltz The elephant waltz...the elephant waltz Dance one two three...one two three...thump thump thump thump thump thump The elephant waltz ...The elephant waltz One two three..one two three.. thump... thump thump Children's Song Site http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=6469&content=music

Hi Kaley,
What a riot! Kids of all ages will just love this. The background sound effects are perfect. "Sue twirled her tail...Tiny flapped his big ears" I can just see it. Great fun.

Hi Kaley,
That was so much fun. I swear I had flashbacks of Sesame Street. Is that show still on lol? If it is, this is the perfect place for this sweet fun song.
Thanks for posting it,
Letha

Kaley,
This is really cute! It's funny, my three year-old stomps wherever she goes. I can just see a whole room full of little kids inspired to "waltz" along with this. I liked the piano only version too.

LOL - that was great, Kaley. Sounds like me on the dance floor.  The out of time thumps are hilarious. And the music DOES call to mind an elephant moving. Well done! Scott

How cute! This is a great little song for all of us with lead feet, not just the little ones. I enjoyed it, thanks for the smiles.

Hi Letha...Glad it was fun for you and thanks for telling me. My Mother never would have named me Grace....because...I can relate to this couple . Sesame Street? Boy...I sure thought it was..But I haven't run across it on tv...in a long time...so I don't know. ... Actually...I was in touch with them awhile back...and had correspondence back and forth with a gal. But Like Disney, it's a beautiful dream at this point... Just hard to get your material in. Thanks for letting me know you liked this....Letha... very best... Kaley

Kaley, I agree with what them other guys said. This is precious. Very captivating imagery. And the out-of-time thumping is a gut-buster. It's hard to listen to this without laughing.
I don't know if Sesame Street is still in business since Jim Henson died. I haven't seen any new Muppeting, child or adult, in a long time.

I would love to know every sound effect he used to make the demo! LOL! Did I hear a basketball bouncing? This is too cute. I think you should sing it, Kaley. DON'T BALK!!!
"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek

Sesame street is still around. My kid watches it almost every day. Snoop Dog is a frequent guest, so I don't think they are all reruns.

Kaley,
This is wonderful. Is there any young kid in the world who wouldn't enjoy this? I doubt it. The sound effects are the perfect topping for the this treat. You are so darned good at this type of music. And ya know, that old Carmudgeon, Wy, ain't too shabby, either. But, this is just perfect. Way to go!
Alan

sorry folks...did NOT mean to let this slide.......!!!.. Thanks Wendy...I've not listened to kids programming in awhile... and I need to!!!... I had some emails back and forth with a director at Sesame Street last year or in 06.. I think it was.....It's just they do not take outside work..unless you're inside... She advised me to keep trying and to keep writing. thanks hon... Kaley

I appreciate your taking the time to listen.... I'm falling way behind on all that...and need to come in tonight and catch up!!...

Hi Kaley,
I like this, it is very sweet and a little crazy. I think Steve did great on this one too. Good luck with it.

Oooohhh...Kaley-girl...what FUN this turned out to be!! Of course I remember Steve. He is definitely a hoot. Love his sound effects in this. I can just imagine him getting into it. The result is just delightfully wacky and so kid-friendly. I also love the sweet piano version...but I hafta say I think kids will like the crazy version best. Hugs, Bobbie PS...I can relate to this too. Three left feet. LOL
