Full disclosure: I’m a fan of Parry Gripp. I can’t get enough of Raining Tacos. And that was true even before I had kids.
So when I stumbled upon the brilliant musical duo Koo Koo last week, I was all in. Much like Parry Gripp, their songs are snappy, fun, and downright impossible to sit still to. That afternoon, I was jamming to Cat Party and Lmnop, already planning my big moment—sharing this amazing find with my daughters. I was about to be the musical hero.
Then, as Shake Yo Foot blasted through the speakers, my kindergartner walked through the door, eyes lighting up.
“Hey Daddy, I know this song! It ends like this…” she said, launching into the familiar ending.
Wait… what? My five-year-old already knew this song?
Turns out, she could have introduced me to Koo Koo. And in that moment, she was the real musical hero.
As I have the lyrics, “We are gonna have a cat party” in my head, I just realized they might be playing on the phrase “frat party.” While that is amusing, I’m not so sure I like singing lyrics that are related to having a frat party.
