Product Description "Funky As A Diaper" is a distinguished iParenting Media Award Winner. This zany collection of songs has worked its way into the hearts of children ages 18 months to 13 years all over the world.

A brief description of some of the songs: FUNKY AS A DIAPER (Genre: Hip Hop/Rap) This song answers the questions: What if a baby was more than cute and cuddly? What if it was funky? How funky would it be? And what would the babys view of the family be? Vocalist Nadirah Shakoor (formerly of Arrested Development) belts out this one. THE SMILE IN THE SKY (Genre: Pop) Seeing the sky, earth and sea from a different perspective - - by looking for a smile. A fun interaction between a day-dreamer and a scientist, discussing two views of our environment. RAIN RAIN RAIN (Genre: Pop) An environmental song that addresses the importance of rain and everything wed miss if there were no rain, including electricity and even ICE CREAM. WHERES THE TURKEY? (Genre: Retro Funk) Meet Harold the Talking Turkey, Jerry McGerry, the Radio DJ, and a gaggle of other characters. A story song about a hunter looking to bag a turkey for Thanksgiving and ending up with a carton of Tofu and an annoying pet. SCHOOMPIE (Genre: A family romping polka!) A term of endearment for the cute and unexpected in our life, even when "your hair looks bad, your teeth are green and youre raving mad " Review "Funky" displaced "Wayne From Maine" as the official kids CD we need to listen to on our ski trips. -- Lesley Macomber, Westford, MA "Uncle Jim has really unleashed some creative juices in this CD. . . . A treasure in the family trove!" -- Hunter Bell, Manassas, VA Ive been using the CD at school with my kindergarteners and they love it! Thank you Uncle Jim. -- Debbie Morton, Montessori School Teacher About the Artist Jim Mayer a.k.a. "Uncle Jim" The term 'Uncle Jim' is not a figurative one. Jim has over 20 nieces and nephews! He started writing children's music years ago when he would sing to them - - and they would come back months later singing the same songs! Jim's talent shines on both electric and upright acoustic bass, playing with performers ranging from jazz legend Mose Allison to Ringo Starr. As a member of the Coral Reefer band since 1989, Jim has been writing, recording and performing worldwide and appearing on numerous television shows. Jim also co-writes and performs across the U.S. with his brother, Peter Mayer. Jim, Peter, and drummer Roger Guth (another member of the Coral Reefer band) performed together in 1985 as the pop group "PM" with a top 10 hit, "Piece of Paradise", released on Warner Bros. Records. Jim resides in Nashville where he's working on completing a children's storybook and his second "Uncle Jim" CD. All of the material on "Funky As A Diaper" has been child tested. Some of the songs have even been co-written with Jim's nieces and nephews.
