MIRADOR, Whatefterklang

Ever wonder what that strange video is about, with the little bird-guy? We sure did! So what DO we know? Well for one thing, it seems that Danish people like to whisper and mumble when they sing: "Something smthg smthg smthg Mountains... smthg smthg smthg Sea..."
Well, wonder no more! Here is the video that will explain it all for you! The new words are by Molly (10) and Jojo (7). It should all be perfectly clear to everyone after this!

Keyboards and vocals by Molly; Drums and vocals by Jojo. (Daddy helped with counting out all those weird "12's" and "13's"...)

Animation is by Molly, Jojo, Charlie(3) and Daddy. We tried every kind of animation we could do in the living room:
Forest World and Birdie Ski-Lift by Jojo; Paint World by Charlie (and Daddy); Lollipop World by Molly; BerryWorld by Daddy; Birdie and Fishie Flying by Molly and Jojo.

"The Extra Mounten" storybook by Jojo

Disclaimer: No ripe strawberries were smooshed in the making of this video (but some older ones may have been...)

Lyrics:
MIRADOORS
(Weird Doors)

Wandering through the woods so far
Diving into the ocean
From clouds to sea
Just use the mountain to reach the sky...
La la la la, la la
Fall down from the flowers
Loopdy loop and fall
The extra mounten
Once there were mountens
The mounten was sad,
One day a Mama was getting a baby
The baby was coming
The baby came
Despite all the strange melting away
From lollypop Land
Painting a world
Look out for THE CROCODILE
Falling straight through
Blueberries and stars
Strawberries too

Im sorry to read that we did not reply to your email, because we did? it was a very short message back with an exited wish to see the video. Maybe our reply ended up in your spam account?

WOWOWOW! Molly and Jojo, you are the coolest kids in the universe! And you have the coolest dad I can imagine! I'm Nan Na and I made and directed this video with Kasper, and drew all the stuff that's in it. This is the best thing i've ever seen - it makes me incredibly happy, and im going to show it to everyone i know!
