Hullabaloo / Tall as a Tree

One thing I’ve noticed since becoming a mom is that children’s music can not be grouped into one category—like everything else, there is good and there’s “If I hear this song one more time I’m going to (insert worst thing that can happen to you here).” Hullabaloo falls into the former category—the band’s music is such that you actually suggest playing it. All of their CD’s are great, but I picked Tall as a Tree because it has my favorite Hullabaloo song, Sippy Cup. Narrated by a child, he sings about how they always go to a place called Starbuck’s to fill up his mom’s “sippy cup”. There are also songs that teach, such as Use Your Words and those that let your kid know that it’s okay to be different as in Things Change. One thing’s for sure—put it on and you’ll find you’re both dancing.

Breezy Mama Tip: If you live in Southern California, you can book Hullabaloo to play at your child’s birthday party. A friend of mine hosted a “Rock Star” theme for her son’s third birthday and had the band come—one of the best parties I’ve been to.
