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 needs is some imagination
Smitty is my friend he's playin' his guitar
Scott'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 rata 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 needs is some imagination
