Teachers are always asking us for new resources to help them with their D.A.R.E. and other substance abuse control programs. And while we have published some popular ones in the past, this addition is especially cool. The instrumental tracks are great, featuring a funky modal groove, and the counterpoint is really striking. It is simple to sing, but musically interesting and sophisticated enough to appeal to all ages. Best of all, it is designed to work in octaves so that boys can sing it unchanged, changed, or changing. (from Music K-8, Vol. 12, No. 5)
