This energetic collection of witty tunes can enhance curriculum or work as a great standalone musical experience.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOpener &ldquo;Disco Traveler&rdquo; grabs you with horns and rhythm, then sneaks in some geography. &ldquo;Grover Cleveland&rdquo; sparks a litany of presidential names. The title song&rsquo;s hip-hop affirmation of the joy of movement is hypnotic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe CD&rsquo;s quality continues through the closer, the 70s-tinged saga of &ldquo;Sugar Coaster&rdquo; mixing good nutrition with good music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"photo-description\">\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2YzkXo5qt2U\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n\tDiggity Dudes,<em> Presidential Fitness Test<\/em><br \/>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr color=\"darkblue\" size=\"1\" width=\"80%\" \/>\n<p>\n\t<strong><span class=\"blue\"><span class=\"larger-150\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/content\/uploads\/data-import\/761e1b24\/Rock-ucation.jpg\" \/>EP: <\/span><\/span><em>Rock-ucation <\/em>by Jeremy Plays Guitar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThis 6-song EP from <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.rock-ucation.com\/store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeremy Zmuda<\/a> packages its language and social skills concepts in a delightful collection designed for younger kids. The short songs pack a big wallop, working as a course in getting along. &ldquo;TGIF&rdquo; explains the workings of a working family in Dad&rsquo;s words. &ldquo;I Like You&rdquo; teaches that friends can disagree and still like each other.
