And now, for something completely different! Remember when this song was popular? Me neither!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in early 2021, this song was making its rounds on TikTok. After I caught wind of it on YouTube — I don't use TikTok all that often — I was reminded how much I enjoyed watching The Backyardigans when I was younger! I actually remixed this song back in 2021. Honestly, I wanted to jump on the trend and tried to crank out that remix as quickly as I could. But, since I was working in such a starkly contrasting style than I'm used to, it didn't turn out very well, so I've spent all that time in the interim getting it to somewhere I am proud of.

The original song is in a bossa nova style. In researching other remixes of this song — I believe I've said this before, but for anyone actually reading this, I conduct research on songs I'm remixing, which includes listening to other renditions of the song so that I don't accidentally make something too similar to someone else's remix, to derive some inspiration where I need it — I quickly noticed that there were already a few remixes of the song, of course, and they were all some sort of EDM style. I thought about going for a simpler, calmer, more subtle EDM genre, but I'm not too good with those just yet, and it eventually morphed into a simple jazz cover. Yes, I do say "cover" because I decided to record some bass vocals to underlay behind the main cast's vocals.
