I stayed up way too late recording this song the night before my daughter's fifth birthday party last year. When all her friends came over for the party, we had them all sing the chorus part and then each of them got to sing the lead part solo. Then we feverishly burned a bunch of discs and each kid got a CD of their performance in their loot bag.
Neighbourhood moms are still coming up to me and singing this, which I'm intitially flattered about but then notice the look on their faces which says that they've heard it over and over and over and over...

I will not be able to get this song out of my mind all day and, unlike with some songs, I don't mind. Well done.

Using children in your chorus is cheating! Okay, okay, I admit, this kinda rulez.

That is an unbelievably cool thing to do for your kid!! Kudos! Of course you fucking destroyed the mind of every other parent in the neighbourhood, which is a net zero (because cool-points positive and total annoyance-points negative). :)

I just played this for my daughter on her fifth birthday. I've been waiting her whole life for the chance to do that!

That is awesome. I just saw this comment and read it to my daughter who is right beside me and said, "awww." Strangely enough, we are having her friends over for her TWELFTH birthday party tomorrow. How time flies.
