We live in a castle

Story Behind The Song

We put the children's Fisher Price castle in storage, and h when we took it out for the grandchildren, there were mouse nests in the hall and the dungeon and upstairs. Generations of mice have grown up in the Fisher Price Castle.

Song Description

Two young mice out on a walk are invited in for tea, and they tell their host how wonderful it is to live in a castle. Their car is a Brio, their favorite lunch is Crayola crayons, and when they are many they drive in a Playmobil truck.

Lyrics

My brother and I were just passing by
Us two mice, my brother Price
And Fisher, that's me
How nice to be asked in for tea
What a nice little house just fit for a mouse
Please pass the toast, now I don't mean to boast
But we grew up in a castle.

We run and play the whole long day
Up stairs and down, up again and around
We have towers and painted flowers
And beneath it all, beside the hall
Is a dark and deep Dungeon keep
We are lucky mice, it is ever so nice
To live in a Fisher Price castle.

Our car is a Brio with room for a trio
Or we drive in our Playmobile truck, and with luck
We find some Crayolas to munch
That's everyone's favorite lunch
I like the red and Price prefers green
Better mouse lives than ours
Just have never been.

Pass the toast, I don't mean to boast... the lyrics get stuck in your head on the first spin with this fine tune. Perfect children's tune (and even more perfect for Fisher Price to jump on this thing and use it!!). Too fun. The vocals, bg vocals, and the production... all top notch stuff. Perfect!

The song had a lot of energy and flowed well. The beat was strong and I think kids would like to dance to it. The arrangement and transitions worked well. Also, the musicianship was outstanding. I wished my son was awake so I could have him listen to it (he's six and brutally honest). I think he'd like it. Good work and good luck.

The recording quality and instrumentation is great. An all pro presentation. Arrangement very good.

What an original, fun song. Mice growing up in in a FP castle... novel idea and you developed it well. I loved the intro, especially the engines revving up on the right and the left. You certainly have expert production chops. The piano is amazing. Five stars on the instrumentation.

Like the melody and instrumentation, recording was in good quality and seemed to be mixed and mastered good.
