There was such a positive response to the sharing of the chords for the song that we are officially launching a little mini-series called Tunesday Tuesday. Basically on the second Tuesday of each month we will share a video similar to what we did with Outer Space. We are super excited about the fact that families are not only listening to our music, but they are now able to perform it for their own B&L-themed family concerts. Hooray!

Below is the Outer Space video we shared last week. Be sure to watch for the special bonus footage at the end. We have also copied the lyrics and chords separately at the bottom of this post. Hope you enjoy!

Please feel free to capture your family concerts on video and share them with us by email (info @ bobsandlolo.com) or on Facebook and Twitter. Also, if you have specific song requests that you would like to see featured in Tunesday Tuesday, be sure to leave us a comment.

Happy singing and dancing everyone!

B&L

Outer Space

Verse 1:
G                   C
What’s out there?
G                 F
Above the air
G            C
Out in space
G           F
Let’s investigate
G                       C
Can’t wait to see
G                F
The mystery
Dm         Am G
Of our galaxy

Chorus:
C           G
Outer Space
Am                        F
Must be such a crazy place
C                                      G
Filled with comets and shooting stars
Am                       F
I wanna see Venus and Mars
Am                   G
I’m gonna need a rocket ship
Dm                                       F
And a space suit for my trip
F
When I’m flying by
G                               C    G    Am
Racing across the sky
G                               C    G    Am  F
Racing across the sky

Verse 2:
G                  C
With no gravity
G              F
I feel so free
G           C
I do a flip
G            F
And I bounce and skip
G              C
Maybe today
G          F
We’ll get to play
Dm           Am  G
In the milky way

Chorus:
C           G
Outer Space
Am                        F
Must be such a crazy place
C                                      G
Filled with comets and shooting stars
Am                       F
I wanna see Venus and Mars
Am                   G
I’m gonna need a rocket ship
Dm                                       F
And a space suit for my trip
F
When I’m flying by
G                               C    G    Am
Racing across the sky
G                               C    G    Am  F
Racing across the sky

Bridge:
Dm         Am         G
Asteroids and meteors
Dm           Am        G
Surround our planet earth
Dm        Am         C
Let’s go walking on the moon
F                                                             G
Then head for home, we’ll be back soon

Verse 3:
G                     C
When I grow up
G              F
I’ll be an astronaut
G             C
But until then
G        F
I’ll just pretend
G            C
And that’s Ok
G            F
’cause when I play
Dm       Am   G
I get closer everyday

Chorus:
C           G
Outer Space
Am                        F
Must be such a crazy place
C                                      G
Filled with comets and shooting stars
Am                       F
I wanna see Venus and Mars
Am                   G
I’m gonna need a rocket ship
Dm                                       F
And a space suit for my trip
F
When I’m flying by
G                            C   G   Am  F  C
Racing across the sky

Bobs & LoLo’s new show on Treehouse TV!

We are also excited that Earth Day 2013 is just around the corner. Earth Day is a celebration of all the things we do in our daily lives to help nurture our beautiful planet, and it generally turns into a fabulous weekend of musical adventures for us too! We actually arrived on Vancouver Island yesterday and will begin a small mid-island tour tomorrow.

Our first stop is the Tidemark Theatre in Campbell River (April 19) followed by the ADSS Auditorium in Port Alberni (April 21) and a day of community fun in Bamfield to wrap things up on Monday, April 22. Full details about all of these performances can be found on our Events Calendar!

A few more fun comments from us about Earth Day…

Our final announcement is about the Great Kids’ CBC Song Search that launched yesterday. We are thrilled to have one of our songs included in the amazing catalogue of featured Canadian writers/performers! The first round is all in your hands – the listeners. Please consider casting a vote for our song! You can vote daily until May 8. As a bonus, every time you vote you will be entered into a draw for some great prizes including a grand prize trip for your family to the Kids’ CBC Days in Toronto this summer (airfare, hotel & spending money included). We’d be grateful to anyone who can take a moment to vote…every day!

Please leave us a comment and let us know how you and your family are celebrating Earth Day this year. Hope to see some of you soon!

Bobs & LoLo

Bringing the kiddie mosh to you!

Join us today, December 18, at 7pm (EST) for the musical adventures!

There was a bit of confusion on Facebook about the concert time, so to be super clear, the concert begins today at:

4pm – British Columbia & Yukon (PST)
5pm – Alberta & NWT (MST)
6pm – Saskatchewan, Manitoba & SW Ontario (CST)
7pm – Ontario & Quebec (EST)
8/9pm – Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & PEI

Our apologies to families on the east coast as we realize the timing is late for some of you. Nunavut – you cross three time zones, so we hope you can figure it out based on the above. We will be recording the broadcast and reposting for those of you who can’t join us live.

Viewing Instructions:

1. Go to our Ustream Channel: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bobs-lolo

2. Sing, dance and play!

3. For added fun you can sign into Ustream with your Facebook or Twitter accounts and join the live chat stream that will be running at the same time as the broadcast. We’ll try to chat with you between songs and fans can chat with each other while we sing!

See you soon!

Bobs & LoLo

In our homes, December 1st always signals the start of the countdown for Santa’s arrival. Today we are decorating our trees, putting up our lights, playing our favourite holiday songs and planning out all the tasty treats we’ll be enjoying with family and friends over the next few weeks.

Hope you enjoy the vid of our new ‘friend’, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
