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."

Hey, what's the big idea?
Imagination movers are music to your ears
We're music to your ears
We're the guys who like to figure things out
What? We love to figure things out
You need some help just give us a shout
Hey, Movers, won't you help us out?
Imagination Movers, you got to talk about it
Imagination Movers, you got to sing about it
I think what this situation need is some imagination
Smitty's my friend, he's playin' his guitar
Scot's got his goggles, they help him see far
Dave's over there underneath the red hat
And my name is Rich, I go a rat-a-tat-tat
Imagination Movers, you got to think about it
Imagination Movers, you got to talk about it
Imagination Movers, you got to sing about it
I think what this situation need is some imagination
The Imagination Movers Theme song is a fun and catchy tune that introduces us to the Imagination Movers, a group of four individuals - Smitty, Scot, Dave, and Rich - who love to solve problems and use their creativity and imagination to overcome obstacles. The song starts with the question, "what's the big idea?" which encourages critical thinking and problem-solving. The Movers are introduced as "music to your ears," signifying that they bring joy and inspiration to their listeners through music.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of thinking, talking, and singing about ideas and using imagination to solve problems. The repetition of the phrase "Imagination Movers" reinforces their identity and the idea that they are always ready to help and bring creative solutions. The verse also gives us a glimpse of each Mover's unique personality and skill set - Smitty plays the guitar, Scot wears goggles to see far, Dave wears a red hat, and Rich drums.
The song encourages children and adults alike to embrace their imagination, think outside of the box, and collaborate with others to find solutions. It also showcases the importance of music as a tool for learning and inspiration.
