Summer Celebration!

Summer Celebration contains songs for July with the usual twists you would expect from Anthony!


Summer means the seashore. But watch out for those sharks in the sea and on the land. One of those land-based sharks is Mac the Knife. We have a song for standing near the ocean, By the Sea, and one for playing in the ocean, Surfin USA. Now if you can’t get to the ocean and need to cool off, here is one way to do it, take a bath with Splish Splash. (continued below)
