Grammaropolis Album cover
From the catalog

The Grammaropolis Album. 2012.

The original Grammaropolis soundtrack, made in partnership with Parents' Choice Award-winning children's musician Doctor Noize. Every part-of-speech song, recorded with a full band, mixed for adult ears as well as kid ears.

Every song is a different musical genre. An epic musical-theater Verb number. A gospel-inspired Conjunction tune. The Interjection grooves to a techno electronica track and the Pronoun sings the piano blues. The videos here are the music videos; this is the album they came from.

For audio-only listening, head to WNOT Radio.

That's every reel in town. Want something for your ears instead? WNOT Radio is one door down: same songs, no picture, perfect for the bus.
