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."
Slip Sliding
Imagination Movers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm slipping, slipping on the ground
I'm gliding, make a figure eight
I'm sliding, isn't this great
We're slipping and sliding
all over the warehouse now
Well, I'm slipping and a-sliding
One leg goes north
And the other one south
Well I'm sliding side to side
trying to get those socks
Red, blue, yellow, put 'em in a box
We're bound for the floor
We're balanced no more
Trust us 'cause we've fallen before
Well my feet are movin' fast,
I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm like a middle mover cyclone
Spinning in the air
Try walking, try running
But I still fall flat
Things are scattered
And they're falling from my hat
Our shoes don't grip
They go slippy, slippy slide
3-2-1, it's time to glide
Hey there Scott don't cha hit that wall
Look out Rich, don't cha slip and fall
Smitty watch out, there goes the Mouse
Dave you made it slippery in this warehouse, hey
Hey everybody, won't cha give us a hand
We're a slipping sliding, super gliding
rock 'n roll band
