Rush Hour with Ralph’s World
Posted on March 12th, 2007 – 8:52 AMBy Kay Krhin
I was stuck in traffic on 35W last week so I started scanning around the radio dial. I stopped when I heard the familiar strains of my mantra song: M-O-M-M-Y needs C-O-F-F-E-E by Ralph’s World. (A CD on heavy rotation at our house). Not a typical song you’d hear on the airwaves but Ralph Covert was being interviewed by Michele Norris on NPR. He discussed writing songs for children. Hearing the very clever and talented Mr. Covert made my commute a lot more pleasant. Read and listen here.

Ralph is pretty decent - his Kid Astro CD gets played again and again (and again…) at home and in our car. He’s also a lot of fun live.
However seeing him on the Disney channel makes me wary of sell-out status (same with They Might Be Giants who also have done some great kids’ music) - is this his fault or Disney’s I wonder?
Augie loves Ralph’s world AND They Might Be Giants. Joel just loves his Thomas CD and Morrisey.
I had that song in my head off and on for two days after hearing that story.
Fans can see him perform live in the metro area next month. Here’s more info: http://www.gocitykids.com
Ralph played at the Cedar Cultural Center last summer and we took Zoe. Kids, toddlers, parents were bopping away in the audience. Zoe took one look at the stage and turned to me in awe: “Ralph! Right there! Right there!”
