about

My kids love this and so unsurprisingly did a lot of people when I put it our via twitter. Jingle jangle with a daft, catchy hook line. The jaunty sound and chorus hides the true meaning of the lyric...heh heh : )

My reality is killing me, so open up and share a million dreams that scream...
Just open eyes, look and blindly see.

Hey, Jump up in my Hummer! the rain is pouring down 'cos it's the start of the summer.
Hey, Jump up in my Hummer! the days are falling down 'cos it's the start of the summer
