A song by Ingrid L Kangas
Hop Hop Hooray!
Hop Hop Hooray Song is written, composed (keyboard) & sung by Ingrid L Kangas,
A huge thank you to ~ Chloe Cini, Aleena Hampton-Olive, Wyatt Mills, local children singing the chorus and bringing so much fun to the practice and recording behind the scenes of Hop Hop Hooray.
So grateful to Brad Williams @ River Recordings Studio who plays the banjo and guitar, also compiling background music with bouncey rhythm for kangas’ hopping in the chorus, with the full song recording on mp3 and wav file, now available to the wider community.
My hope is for Hop Hop Hooray to be fun, creating joyful singing and dancing for all ages especially children. Along with reading this delightful story, encouraging care, love and understanding for our Magnificent Kangaroos,Wallabies and how amazing they are.
I was inspired to write Hop Hop Hooray after Wyatt Mills (6yrs old) shared a song he loved about Capiburras, I thought to myself I need a happy tune for My Book ~ Two Peas in a Pouch, about our amazing Kangaroos & Wallabies across Australia, Featuring Bluebelle & Sagey with lyrics sharing their qualities, uniqueness and similarities that Kangas’, Wallies’ & all life need ~ freedom to safely roam this beautiful Great Southern Land ~ protected.
I believe our precious wildlife need protecting, along with their habitats for them to survive & thrive, creating connections, sustainability & wellbeing for All Australians.
