joey the dog, joey the dog, joey the dog, joey the doGG...OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO!

To all Love Bubble friends, family, and Chocolate Chips,

February 2nd is here, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. Halfway between winter solstice and spring equinox in the northern hemisphere. What we now call Groundhog’s Day. Its James Joyce’s birthday. Farrah Fawcett’s birthday. And my father’s birthday (Happy Birthday Papa...!) THIS February 2nd however, is an extra special day in lovely Love Bubble town because...yes indeed, we have for you, right here, for the first time....THE official, JOEY THE DOGG MUSIC VIDEO!!!!

Joey the Dogg is the 3rd official music video from the family band, Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips. Filmed at Loveship Bubbletron (the Chocolate Chips backyard) on a High-8 video camcorder, in front of a homemade green screen, Joey the Dogg features 6 year old, Lucas! as Joey the Dogg. The character was invented when Lucas was 4 in a game of "pretend" and has since inspired this Chocolate Chip anthem. Joey's "a little puppy" with a "really big heart" who can "bark AND talk." The video is Mista Cookie Jar's directorial debut featuring original animation and costume design from the Love Bubble family. Joey the Dogg is the 2nd track off of Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips' debut album, The Love Bubble which can be purchased at Itunes, Amazon, Blacklava, & CDBaby:

Crystal Cave--Free Download!

Free download or donate $ here for the new Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips song!

Crystal Cave" is a sneak peak at the second installation off our never-never-ending musical collection, the Love Bubble (working title: Ultramagnetic Universal Love Revolution, to be released spring 2011!!). Drawing inspiration from Joseph Campbell, Hayao Miyazaki, Bjork, and Dr. Suess, we set out to explore where innocence & song meet the big bang. The song features a rap duet with Ava Flava about a candy-land-fever-dream we shared independent of each other.

Lyrics: Crystal Cave

inside your heart there is a crystal cave
where the witches and the wizards invent their games
they sew a string of singalongs
and tie them to the wings of swans
connecting hearts to stars to cookie jars
in daisy chain trains
daisy chain trains
daisy train chains
awww....

life is like a box of constellations
astrologies arrive from outerspacin
mythologies arise in every nation
firecrackers in the mind explode

a single hero with a thousand faces.
one story interspersing to a million places
interlocking in a billion ba ba billion ways.
everything comes from the great unknown.
and all is known in the great unknown!

light travels (all day) so slowly (night too)
on this train bound for glory (play around all day)
sweet child, you've got time to play

(da da da da (hey)
da da da da (hey)
da da da da (hey)
da da da da!)

inside your heart there is a crystal cave
where the witches and the wizards invent their games
they sew a string of singalongs
and tie them to the wings of swans
they fly by night in time to save the day
from ancient crazies
ancient crazies
ancient crazies
awww...

CJ:

Once upon a time a steamboat chased me ava:PLAY AROUND ALL DAY
to a cotton candy cloud above the sea.
Jumped on a dragon. Killer whales paraded
holding back that crazy steamboats steam.
The dragon tossed me with its tail
to blast me with dragonfire smelling like jellybeans.
I safely landed on the cloud that transformed to a swan
while the steamboat just drowned in silly misery.

Ava & CJ: "Woe woe woe woe woe woe woe is me...toot toot!"

Ava:
And so i'm drowning in my steamboat tryin to stay afloat cj: PLAY AROUND ALL DAY
while Mista Cookie Jar's flying on a swan.
A blue whale batted away the killer whales,
swallowed me and spit me out towards the sun.
And then he sees me in the sky like a comet
in my steamboat, so I flash a little twinkle in my eye.
To his surprise, at the wheels Ava Flava, now he feels like a hater.
I was flying by his side the whole time...!


CJ AVA

Lo Siento Ain't a thang
mad respect Ain't it strange?
Round & round That's how we play the crystal cave game, holla

Love Bubble! on the double
Rainbows out the puddles
pot - gold u hold the missing piece of the whole puzzle!


Old egos (like mom) need grounding. (dad too)
And I thank the gods you found me
(Takings turns who's sage)
Our lifetimes rhyming game by game.

(deedle eedle dee (Hey)
deedle eedle dee (hey)
deedle eedle dee (All day!)
deedle eedle dee woo!)

(da da da da (hey)
da da da da (hey)
da da da da (hey)
da da da da!)

inside your heart there is a crystal cave
where the witches and the wizards invent their games
they sew a string of singalongs
and tie them to the wings of swans
they fly by night in time to save the day
from ancient crazies

inside your heart there is a crystal cave
where the witches and the wizards invent their games
they sew a string of singalongs
and tie them to the wings of swans
connecting hearts to stars to cookie jars
in daisy chain trains
daisy chain trains
daisy train chains

Ukulady and the Chocolate Chips @ The Natural Stage Project

Sunday, 9-05-10, was a fun magical afternoon = )

Featured was the ultra-amazing Ukulady and the Ukulad (here's to many more shows with these meeptastic creative forces!) and of course the wonderful Chocolate Chips....Ava Flava, Miss Mikyla, and the adorably cute Lyrin! Rock N Roll fever!

The show was part of The Natural Stage Project: www.thenaturalstageproject.com

We performed at LA's Old Zoo at a cave where I imagine they housed lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Also, we found it fitting since we were at a cave that we debut our new song, Crystal Cave!

The Green Expo & Our Brand of Green!

"If you have a messy room, you have to clean it."

Catch my quote and mention of Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips' performance at The Green Expo this past weekend in an LA Daily News article by clicking Green Expo kicks off spring.

The Green Expo is a multi-city event showcasing green technologies and products. We were spreading our own brand of green for the environment - The Love Bubble - at the Main Stage on Saturday and the Children's Pavilion both days. We met alot of fun folks, including the creator of Norky (norky.com) and musician extraordinaire/metaphysical healer, Michael Lee Gogin who among many things is the lead singer of the "Mini Kiss" band and the bell hop in Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
