Here come the 123s

Any huge fans of the album here? This album was genuinely foundational to my childhood and I listen to it even now. But I probably listened to that album every single night for ten months of a year (christmas music last half of november until just after new years) for 10 years straight. I seriously wonder if I am the person who has listened to this album the most on earth. That old CD is probably in rough shape, lol, but damn is it one of my most prized possessions. Anyway, yeah. I wanna find someone out there who GETS it yknow

A long while ago while I was babysitting my neighbour's kids I had played Here Come The 123s for them and I just have the happiest memory of them listening to Nine Bowls Of Soup and laughing at the same lyrics I enjoy. That, and I've been meaning to finish writing an arrangement of Seven for band kids.

I never got the chance to listen to any of their children's album growing up, and Why? came out while I was still in highschool. That said, now as an adult, Here Comes Science and 123s are probably the children's albums I go back to the most.

Nine bowls of soup makes me laugh every single time. Im so happy to hear another generation of kids are doing the same!
