The ogre in this song is indeed a little whacky in that he enjoys playing Boomwhackers®. In addition to Boomwhackers®, we have included a variety of non-pitched percussion instruments as well. These are optional and you may prefer to use others instead or in addition to. The basic groove is included at the beginning of the song and continues throughout. The solo snarls are also optional, as is the Boomwhacker® "applause" at the end of the song. (from Music K-8, Vol. 15, No. 1)
