Story Surprise are a lively, energetic and engaging duo from Melbourne, Australia. They have released two singles to date with a new song dropping this Saturday. Although, they have only been around for a relatively short time, they have already made quite an impact on the children's entertainment scene, and are now set to take the world by storm. Their recent single "Germs" was written in response to the COVID outbreak, and highlights the importance of keeping germs at bay.
We're now back in lockdown in many parts of Australia, so this song is no doubt as relevant as ever. The music is sprightly and lighthearted, and manages to convey a serious message in a fun and stimulating way. There is no shortage of detailed instructions either, where fun actions collide with hygiene so that the children are encouraged to 'jump into the sky', and 'wave those germs goodbye'.
The song has a stop and start type of feel, where the instructions are blasted out in perfect harmony. The backing vocals have a noticeable 1950s influence, which add a certain retro flavouring to the tune. Coming in at just over two minutes, the song is short, sweet and to the point, with the action never letting up for a minute. I'm reliably informed that the chorus comes in at twenty seconds which is the recommended length of time to spend washing your hands, making it the perfect song for little people.
Well, maybe I'm biased because these performers are Australian, but I love this duo, they are great fun, and effortlessly spin their wonderful brand of optimistic melodies with tremendous enthusiasm. They provide a breath of fresh air to the children's music scene, and if you could bottle their energy you'd be all the better for it.
Story Surprise - energy, excitement and enthusiasm.
