Well, it’s back to school for most young listeners, so today we’ll playing songs about doing just that. Getting up early, packing lunches and book bags, and remembering all those things we might not have had to do or deal with over summer vacation.

Brian and Tom of Milkshake will be back for Talking Tunes, and today’s song is “Cmon Get Happy” by The Partridge Family, who, when I think about it, might be one of the first family bands with a kindie rock bent.

Enjoy and have fun back at school!
