"Spirit Animal" World Premiere on Eat the Marshmallow

Ladies and gents, presented by Eat the Marshmallow, the world premiere of the new Mista Cookie Jar song, "Spirit Animal."

"Spirit Animal is an anthem to the awesome! The single celebrates kids who know who they are and remind us to stay true to who we are. So go ahead, add the song to that playlist, connect with your special peeps, and groove to the house beat that reminds you to listen to your heart and honor your true self."-- Eat the Marshmallow

When is it ever OK to compare a child to an animal? How about when the child is...AWESOME?? In his latest house-groove-rasta-rap smash single, Mista Cookie Jar is speaking on not just any animal, but one’s very own spirit animal as epitomized by a really cool kid. Children inspire humanity in so many ways. Often they so naturally encapsulate a once-forgotten, beautiful, wild, and untainted essence, both contagious and undeniably transcendent. Perhaps you know a special young someone who is YOUR very own spirit animal?

Hey hey hey!
Now when you put Mista Cookie Jar 
and Father Goose in the mix

I may not have

“Let’s Get a Dog” By Mista Cookie Jar
Isn’t every family flung into this particular situation through which they must grapple and ultimately come to terms with — that dread inducing yet curiously heartwarming moment when a child suggests, “Let’s get a dog!” In an attempt to hypnotize the whole family with doggie joy, the child leads the charge in a family trip to the local pet store — in this case, Petco. The whole family endures a wide range of feelings — from the exhilaration of novelty to the anxiety of responsibility. When it’s all said and done, will this unbridled canine energy win over the whole family’s heart? Oh yeah...not to mention, it’s the latest Mista Cookie Jar song!

Disco Dancing Mama
Fancy Pants ft. Mista Cookie Jar



If you can't bring the minivan to the club, why not bring the club to the minivan? "Disco Dancin Mama" is a funky EDM infused disco anthem for the modern day multi-tasking mom extraordinaire. The fun-for-the-whole-fam track features the Beegees-tinged vocal stylings of the disco dancing mama herself, Fancy Pants, and the lyrical rap-wizardry of acclaimed kindie rockstar, Mista Cookie Jar. 

A coast to coast collaboration, the single is co-written, produced, and performed by Fancy Pants (Amy Hersey) of Florida and Mista Cookie Jar (CJ Pizarro) of California. Featured on the bass is Mark White of the Spin Doctors. 

Produced, written, and performed by Fancy Pants & Mista Cookie Jar

Funky mama wit a minivan
bumpin dat boom boom boom
right out tha blue tooth boom box. 
Look at her move,

Mama can't sit still 
cuz the music's too hot. 
Dancing while she multitasking.
Greasy dishes. Laundry baskets.
Dirty diapers. Cookie batches.
Platform shoes & sequin jackets. Ugh!
A little carpool karaoke action.
The little ways to make the most of traffic. 
This mama she be disco dashin’
all tha way through tha day,
baby, dats what's happenin’!

She's a disco dancing mama!
And she's bringing disco back 
everywhere she goes. 
To the bank.
To the grocery store.
Picking the kids from school. 
She be getting her grove on
and she looking fly doing it too.

Oh yeah!
Bump dat disco up in your minivan.
D-I-S-C-O.
She’s a disco dancing mama.
Oh yeah!

And play the songs that I love and know.
When I stop to feel the beat
I clap my hands and I move my feet.

(Go mama! Go mama! Go mama! Go mama! 
Go! Go! Go…

Bump dat disco up in your minivan.
Bump dat disco up in your minivan.
Minivan, minivan, minivan, minivan, woo!

She's a mother like no other,
taking care of all your brothers 
and sisters since they was babies. 
She's amazing on the daily. 
But she got this disco itch
or should I say a disco gift. 
Cuz when that disco ball’s-a-callin
She gets that disco party started. 

Disco, disco dancing…
Disco, disco dancing…
Disco, disco dancing all night!

Disco, disco dance. 
I will do the disco…
Disco, disco dance.
Mama did the disco.
