A Night With The Doodlebops

Well we made it down and back from Lexington, KY to spend some time with The Doodlebops, as they rocked Rupp Arena.

The Little Man was going bananas as the silly performers hit the stage, while Doodlebug was a little timid (as always).  I think she might have been freaked out from the height of the seats we were in for a short time, but she came around a few times and got to her feet to sing and dance.

The Doodlebops did not disappoint, as far as song and dance went.  Moe, the orange fella, made his money with a vast array of break dance moves that he would fall into at the drop of a hat.  Deedee, the purple babe in the group, had a couple of solo moments one of which was a tap dance number, while Rooney, the tall mop-headed blue guy, really rocked his guitar during one tune.  Bus Driver Bob was there for the always standard, Get On The Bus Song, but his performance was lacking, perhaps it was an off night for the driver.  Audio Murphy, the big blue dog that runs the recording studio, made an appearance for a song and he brought some cool video visuals to go on the big screen behind everyone on stage and their were some dancers dressed in very colorful outfits that joined The Doodlebops on a few numbers.

Overall the star of the show was Moe Doodle.  He had the kids rocking and getting loud, was break dancing like crazy and of course he pulled the rope.  Much to everyone's surprise when he pulled the rope, he didn't get a bucket of water dumped on him, like what happens on the television show.  Confetti and streamers filled the air when he pulled the rope, which started the last song which was an encore of Get On The Bus.

Was I wrong as a parent for being sad that The Doodlebops didn't finish with their normal ending song, where some of the lyrics they sing go...

We're The Doodlebops, We're The Doodlebops and we thank you oh yeah!

...perhaps a thank you was in order for all the money we dropped on overpriced trinkets, but I'm not sour. 

The Doodlebops have themselves a money making machine, in that live rock show and good for them.  Our kids were entertained and it was a blast to watch them freak out while watching their favorite rock stars.  Here are a few more pictures from the show. 

Parents be warned, there is plenty of merch to buy and they wave it right under your child's nose before the show, during the intermission, and after.  I would recommend going here and making a purchase, then bringing it with you in your bag and presto it on your child when the time is right.  That's how I will roll from now on.

Actually, after seeing them last night, I think Deedee is kind of hot in her piano key miniskirt.
