TEN CHILDREN'S SONGS for adults and smarter kids: it's satire but ecologically, it's CORRECT!
The Songes are a satirical counterpoint to the
fluffy guff that's so often passed off as kids' songs. They're fun to
sing, easy to play, sufficiently gross to satisfy the bloodthirsty urges of
older children, entertaining and, seriously, quite scientifically correct. Honesty in
children's songs, a new thing in the world!
All the Songes have been tested on line and at public performance.
ECOLOGICAL REALITY BYTES!
It's not all sweetness and light and tree-hugs out there in the
Wonderful Ecological World, oh no! So here's the start of a re-education
in ecological reality for you! Explore the murderous wooden hearts of
trees! Learn the real reason for the decline of Fairy Penguins! Find
your place on the Food Chain! There's an architecturally-acclaimed
how-to blend your house with nature!
And there's more!
LEAD SHEETS, LYRIC SHEETS WITH CHORDS, LINER NOTES
Each of the Songes can be printed separately as a
4-page booklet, with the lead sheets on the central two pages, the title and
liner notes on the front page, and the lyrics only + chords on the back page.
PARENTAL
ADVISORY!
While there's no profanity or overt/covert
sexual innuendo anywhere, some adults find the content challenging, because
it's not the view of Nature they'd like to have. Kids find these Songes great,
especially the grosser ones, and may be able to help such adults cope. There should be parental or other adult guidance in anything like this because it is
satire and may need explaining, and it's not for young children.
FLYING TADPOLE AND TIM FATCHEN
The virtual band
Flying Tadpole started as a boat and turned into a state of mind. Mainly the
cutting satire, cruel humor, blue angst and general mayhem of the scurrilous
and dark alter ego of Tim Fatchen, Flying Tadpole is occasionally joined by
others unwise enough to cross to the Dark Side, but wise enough to remain on
another Continent.
Both lurk in the depths of Mr Dunn's 1844 Mill,
in Mount Barker in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, South Australia, and try not
to be a blight on the landscape. Their
