Grab your kids! Or if you are just a big kid at heart, like me, sit down and prepare to be entertained!
When it comes to music, like most people who are not inclined, I say, I know what I like and what I don't like. With this song, as soon as the flowers sung "so hot, we're so hot" under the shade of the tree, I knew "like" was not strong enough a word. The next day I was still humming it. So I reached out to one of the co-creators, Harry Garfield, to see if I could put the video on GreenisUniversal.com. Catchy tune aside, the message, after all, is Green and to add to the Universal, Garfield is Executive Vice President of Music for Universal Pictures.

The Bumblemen are Garfield's co-creation with childhood friend and renowned L.A. artist, Mark Lewis. Their first CD, Bumblemen Bumblemen Bumblemen, is available for download at iTunes. They are currently working on more songs and videos focused on educating kids about being green and how caring about the environment is fun.
Prior to Universal, Harry has had an extensive career as a musician and songwriter, performing with acts like Ike & Tina Turner, that all started when he was 11 years old. He sung the then famous Mr. Bubbles commercial. If you have ever taken the tour at Universal Studios Hollywood, you may recognize his duet with blues man Arthur Adams of "People Love to Go To The Movies".
When I asked him why he left a life as a musician performing with famous bands for a job as a Music Coordinator at Universal Television in 1981, he said that his wife and 3 kids were his motivation to get off the road and stay close to home. Now Harry's got a long lived career at Universal Pictures supervising the creation of soundtracks for hundreds of Film and Television projects and 3 grandchildren, who love The Bumblemen as much as I do!
