From the band's own website:
"The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty -- began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and "I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).""
and:
"In 2007, Disney Channel green-lighted a Movers television series for Playhouse Disney featuring Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty as blue-collar brainstormers working hard to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a clearinghouse of infinite inspirations. Through songs, stories and skits, the Movers move kids to exercise their bodies and brains."
Gust of Wind
Imagination Movers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gust of wind nearly knocked me down
Where does it come from? Gonna find out
There's a gust of wind blowing through my house
Oh, oh, here we go again
Where does the wind blow?
Oh, oh, here we go again
North wind blowing, gonna make me cold
Got a south wind from the Gulf of Mexico
And the east wind blowing where the sun will rise
There's the west wind blowing that tumbleweed by
Oh, oh, here we go again
Where does the wind blow?
Oh, oh, here we go again
Where does the wind blow now?
Na, na, na, na, na
A gust, a breeze, a rustle in the leaves
A whirlwind whirls on white-capped seas
Send a kite high, help a plane fly
In a big boat see me sail by
Windmill turns, light bulbs burn
Making schools bright so kids can learn
Wind's in the house, outside, I wouldn't mind it
It's making a mess, I guess we'd better find it
Oh, oh, here we go again
Where does the wind blow?
Oh, oh, here we go again
Where does the wind blow now?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
The song "Gust of Wind" by Imagination Movers portrays the story of a gust of wind that blows through a house, nearly knocking the singer down. The lyrics speak about their curiosity to know where the wind comes from and where it blows to. The singer then goes on to describe the different wind directions - North, South, East, and West, and how each of them brings a different experience. The lyrics highlight how wind can be both beneficial, like sending kites high up in the sky, and destructive, like making a mess in the house.
The song's simple melody and repetitive chorus make it easy for children to sing along and learn about the different directions of winds. The lyrics, on the other hand, hold a more significant meaning that adults can appreciate. The song portrays that curiosity is essential to have a deep understanding of the world around us. It encourages listeners to embrace natural phenomena and explore the inexplicable.

Windmill turns, light bulbs burn

The wind can also power windmills and generate electricity, which can light up schools so that children can learn. Though having wind inside the house might not be a big deal, it can cause a mess, so I need to locate where it's coming from.
