tap dancing, tango, mambo
that kind of old school music
The Backyardigans is a Canadian-American
3D CGI-animated children series
aimed at children between
the ages of 2 and 5
created by Janice Burgess.
it features 5 animal children,
who imagine that their backyard
becomes an adventure place.
In each episode, the show's five friends:
Pablo, Tyrone, Uniqua, Tasha, and Austin
rely on their vivid imaginations
to transform their backyard into completely different worlds,
in which they go through many sorts of
stories and adventures.
The time-frame of the show can range from
a few hours to more than one full day,
but in reality, the story always ends
just in time for one of them
to invite the others for a snack.
The imaginary story then reverts to the backyard,
and the characters all rush to the house
of the person who offered the snack and enter it.
After a second, one or more characters
open the door,
quote the catchphrase specific to the episode
and then close the door,
ending the show.
The episodes focus on music and dancing
as much as they do on the stories,
with each one featuring
a different music genre
such as big band,reggae,
Spaghetti Western,
polka, Motown, and disco
wow, I don’t even know all of the above
and four new songs,
usually with at least one rearrangement
of a well-known or traditional song.
For example, in the episode where Pablo, Uniqua, & Tyrone
imagine they are secret agents
and they are going under
the laser beams of a door,
they sing the "Laser Limbo Tango",
which is sung to the tune of the popular
Chubby Checker song, "Limbo Rock".
hey, I watched that episode before, hurray
awesome groove
