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."
Have Some Fun Today
Imagination Movers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody, we've got some time to play
Sun is shining, we got nowhere to go
I think we′re gonna have some fun today
I think we're gonna have some fun today
We could sing a new song on my guitar
Here in outer space, I see a shooting star
I think we're gonna have some fun today
I think we′re gonna have some fun today
We could build our own lemonade stand
Or maybe play a game of kick the can
Catch me if you can
Watch a movie, make some popcorn
Build a tree house ′cause we don't have one
Catching fireflies as the sun goes down
I think we′re gonna have some fun today
I think we're gonna have some fun today
Getting ready, my friends are coming over
Everybody, we′re going to play all day
Sun is shining, we got nowhere to go
All the people in my neighborhood
(I think we're gonna have some fun today)
They′re having fun just like they should
All the people in my neighborhood
(I think we're gonna have some fun today)
They're having fun just like they should
All the people in my neighborhood
(I think we′re gonna have some fun today)
They′re having fun just like they should
All the people in my neighborhood
(I think we're gonna have some fun today)
They′re having fun today
Getting ready, my friends are coming over
All the people in my neighborhood, they're having fun today
Sun is shining, we got nowhere to go
And all the people in my neighborhood, they′re having fun today
I think we're gonna have some fun today
(All the people in my neighborhood, they′re having fun today)
I think we're gonna have some fun today
(All the people in my neighborhood, they're having fun today)
