Don't Jump on the Bed: Asheba and "No More Monkeys"

We have fun little song today, but don't jump on the bed to it! No More Monkeys is performed by Asheba, a musician who according to his website, strives "to encourage hope and happiness in children of all ages, abilities and background." Originally from Trinidad and now based in Oakland, California, he tells stories of hope and happiness through his music which is inspired by the musical and folkloric tradition of his homeland's calypso. He performs original lullabies as well as uptempo remakes of classic children's songs such as Itsy Bitsy Spider and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. You can find No More Monkeys on his 2004 CD of the same name, and on the 2015 Putumayo various artists release Animal Playground.
