The songs:

1. Because We're Dogs (John Hadfield/Geri Smith) - Some dogs have great jobs. They help handicapped humans, find lost items and sniff for drugs at airports. The dogs in this song, however, are not good role models.
    

2. Monkeys in the House (John Hadfield/Geri Smith) - "They tease the dog, they eat my food, they have this 'monkey' attitude.  I miss my days of solitude - Ya Wanna buy a Monkey?"
    

3. Wake Up Roddy - (John Hadfield/Geri Smith) Roddy Cheese is in trouble.  He's joined the soccer team, but can't keep his mind on the game.  (Don't worry - He's saved in the end by one of the dogs from song number one).
    

4. I'm Your Toaster (John Hadfield/Geri Smith) - The kitchen is renovated and the discarded toaster is singin' the blues.
    

5. Safety Glass (John Hadfield) - A French chemist in 1903 accidentally drops his beaker and changes the world.
    

6. Disco Johnny (John Hadfield/Geri Smith) - (This is a true story. Scary, but true.)  "Dance, Johnny, dance - up there in the hall.  Your bedroom light is burning like a glowing disco ball.  Dance, Johnny, dance - Your friends say you're a geek, but it's Saturday Night Fever for you seven nights a week."
    

7. Science is Everywhere (John Hadfield) - Throw in some dancing and hat manipulation and you have the opening number in John Hadfield's The Science Show.

8. I Can't Swim (John Hadfield/Geri Smith) - It's embarrassing to walk around at the pool with swimmies and a rubber ducky.
    

9. I'm Your Brain (John Hadfield/Rabin) - Everyone's favorite sing-along about how your brain gets you through the day.
    

10. I Want to be a Spy (John Hadfield/Geri Smith) - OK, I have the dark glasses, the disguises, the tiny camera and the whoopie cushion. All I need now are the secret papers...

John teamed up with the lovely and talented Geri Smith (London Sunset Music, Inc.) to write Because We're Dogs, Monkeys in the House, Wake Up Roddy, I'm Your Toaster, Disco Johnny, I Can't Swim and I Want to be a Spy.  He co-wrote I'm Your Brain with the talented and lovely Barry Rabin (Dancing Parrot Music).  Read more about Geri and listen to her music at www.Gerismith.com, and check out Barry's poignant editorials at www.Barryrabin.com.
