"Grand March from Aida" - Dog on Fleas

Artist: Dog on Fleas

Song: "Grand March from Aida"

Album: Buy One Get One Flea

Description: Further proof that simple ideas, even low-budget ones, well-executed can be delightful.  The "Backyard Dorkestra" rendition of Verdi's famous "Grand March" from his opera Aida is a silly goof, so why not have a parade of assorted stuffed animals -- including a certain kindie favorite -- represent it?  The kids'll be amused -- so was I.

"Rock Melon" - Gustafer Yellowgold

In the world of Gustafer Yellowgold, food fights have been turned into a musical art form.  Jumping on cake, flinging pancakes, and now this -- "Rock Melon," which is the Queen arena-rocker about cantalope catapults Freddie Mercury never wrote.  Perfect for creator Morgan Taylor's spring "Rock Melon Tour."
