Debi Derryberry - What A Way to Play
- At first listen to What a Way to Play, the clear, high-pitched voice emanating from the stereo gives no indication that the singer is mother and renowned industry vet, Debi Derryberry. Best known for her work as the voice of Jimmy Neutron on the Paramount/Nickelodeon feature film, “Jimmy Neutron- Boy Genius” Derryberry’s voice-credits include over ninety films and television titles such as “Ice Age 2, Disney’s “The Wild” and Playhouse Disney as the voice of “Clay.” On What a Way to Play, her first children’s album, Derryberry presents a collection of songs celebrating childhood pastimes from singing, to daydreaming, and playing with friends.
In addition to her original songs, Derryberry takes on children’s standards with the rock ‘n’ roll, trilingual version of “Itsy Bitsy Spider”; a funky “ABC Song,” featuring harmonica, a bass line melody, and double-time alphabets; and the boogie-woogie rendition of “The Wheels on the Bus” that is anything but the mundane yellow school bus song of older generations. The recording also includes tunes that teach and encourage good behavior sure to please parents and kids alike. The potentially scary phenomenon of ‘pruny’ skin after a soaking bath finds explanation on “Raisin Fingers,” and the title track advices kids that behaving well is the ‘way to play’ because it “puts you in a super mood!”… A super mood, to be certain, for the parents too!
