We have dubbed this tune "Beatnik hip hop" because that's what it felt like when we were done combining elements. We started with a great synthesized loop and just kept adding neat stuff, including basses in octaves and a third bass that plays funky fills. The capper though, was the solo trumpet playing with a harmon mute. We're betting your kids will dig it.
Partially spoken and partially sung, the tune is unison except for the spoken solos. (from Music K-8, Vol. 15, No. 3)
