I was playing this song in my bedroom the other day and my roommate's 7 year old son (who was in the other room watching cartoons) stopped what he was doing and peeked his head in and said "Who's that? That's really cool". He stood there and listened to the whole song before skipping back to his cartoons. I was so proud I could've cried!!!
