Recess Monkey: Deep Sea Diver (recessmonkey.com)
The name of this “kindie-rock” trio is reason enough to check it out, but here’s another reason: Deep Sea Diver has a thoroughly nautical theme, with titles like “Tambourine Submarine,” “Fish Sticks,” and “The Seven Cs.” Extra credit for the following credit: “Unauthorized duplication or other use prohibited by U.S. Law and also by Sea Law, which is judged by Poseidon and enforced by The Captain & Tennille.”
