The band got their name from a suggestion given by a friend, because whenever that friend had dinner at Dave's house he would sit at the kid's table.

Fluent In Stroll
Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sailing away
No more raining on our sunny days
They're way too bossy and downright mean
I won't let them toss scary thoughts in your dreams
How could they think what was wrong was right
They're always coming at us looking for a fight
And they're loving their war
But you know me, shit you know me
I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I say we ditch them baby
I,I,I-I,I,I say those kids are losers baby
Sad souls
Double-dumb
Hate it when they 'shh, shh'
You so alive
Triple fly / Crazy fly
Make me feel so good.
I,I,I - I,I,I say we're what's important baby.
So what can I sing to you that I don't
whisper to you every night?
I found that beat that keeps you
moving all night, that God.
I know yeah, I know yeah
To look through my eyes it must be tough
But, gaze in that mirror girl
'Cause that's the only thing I love
Line them up, line them up
Say the word
I'll push 'em around for you
I don't care if it's a dragon-spider,
I'll knock any monsters down for you
Show me, show me a better girl.
No you're never gonna, never, never gonna find it.
Show me, show me a better world,
Without you baby, I don't, I don't, I don't want it.
What can I sing to her that I don't
whisper to her every night?
I'm gonna make sure that little girl inside her can shine

This album has also grown on me. At first I think I was comparing it to Strictly Rude too much. For me, it'd be tough to beat strictly rude, but once I started looking at this album as its own thing rather than comparing, it has grown on me. They have done pretty well at changing their sound for each album which is interesting. I love this album, but I'd also love for them to revisit the two tone inspired ska someday too.
Rob Driggers
It isn't the same as everything else out there! And for that they have my ultimate respect.
