Background and Description
Come along with this group of friends as they play in the park on a sunny afternoon. The ring leader is a very perceptive child who observes the differences (and similarities) among her playmates: She has straight hair. He has curly hair. How perfectly remarkably strange, uh-huh... You'll enjoy their romp and the sing-song nature of the text that builds as it moves along, ending with a bluesy Be-bop-a-doo-bop. Be-bop-boo. Be-bop-a-doo-bop. Doo-be-dee-doo....
