Bouncy Ball
From Nick Records
Easily, the best Dora song ever created
My goodness. The entire "Dora" MP3 album is excellent, and mesmerizing to my two-year-old.
But there is something uniquely special about "Bouncy Ball." Is it the up-tempo, cheery music? Is it Boots's unique diction on lines like "The ball is BLUUUUUE"? Is it the poignant lyrics themselves?
I love my ball
My bouncy ball
I love my ball, ball, ball, ball, ball
Clearly, of course, it's a combination all of those factors that makes "Bouncy Ball" the greatest MP3 on an excellent MP3 album. My recommendation? Buy the entire album. But if you have just $1 to spend, get only this song. Throw it into iTunes, put it on repeat, and plan a day of bliss.
This ball is bouncy
This ball is blue
This ball is mine, but you can use it too
If there were any downside to this song -- and admittedly, this is a stretch -- it's that it doesn't feature Dora herself. Boots sings solo on this one. But the overwhelming sense of charm and passion that vocalist Harrison Chad brings to the tune, stunningly, leaves Dora mostly a mere memory.
I bounce it on my head
I bounce it on my tail
I throw it up and down
I bounce it everywhere!
