Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)

About This Song

You know that moment when your kid has exactly one volume setting (and it’s too loud?) When baby brother just nodded off, the teacher’s mid-sentence, and your child picks right now to test the acoustics. “Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)” is for every parent who’s ever done the frantic whisper-shush while their kid stares back like you’re the unreasonable one.

This laid-back family hip hop track turns the classic inside voice reminder into a smooth, head-nodding RnB groove that toddlers and preschoolers will to repeat… quietly, we hope! Perfect for the classroom, the library, or any moment when the volume needs to come down about eleven notches.

Inside voices
Try to keep it down
It’s time to relax
Don’t be too loud
Inside voices
Inside voices
Inside voices
Let’s keep it down

Use your inside voice
When baby brother is asleep
Use your inside voice
When the teacher’s trying to teach

Inside voices
Inside voices
Inside voices
Let’s keep it down

Use your inside voice
When it’s your turn to speak
Use your inside voice
When classmates are trying to read
Inside voices
Inside voices
Inside voices
Let’s keep it down

Inside voices
Try to keep it down
It’s time to relax
Don’t be too loud
Inside voices
Inside voices
Inside voices
Let’s keep it down

  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (R&B Mix)

    You’ve sung “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” a thousand times. In the car, at bedtime, in the grocery store when things were getting dicey. So we figured, what if that melody got the R&B treatment it’s been quietly deserving all along? This version keeps every word your kids already know and wraps it in a smooth, soulful groove that won’t make you want to leave the room by verse two.

  • Time to Take a Nap

    Nap time isn’t just for kids — it’s a survival strategy for the whole house. “Time to Take a Nap” is the original nap anthem, and it keeps it real: naptime makes everything better! And yeah, we’d nap too if we didn’t have cleanup to do.

  • Big ol’ Truck!

    There’s no explaining it — your kid sees a truck and the whole world stops. Doesn’t matter if it’s a dump truck, a fire engine, or just a normal pickup. “Big ol’ Truck!” captures that pure, unfiltered hype that only a kid standing on the sidewalk pointing at heavy machinery can produce. Oh wow oh man! Inspired by a real quote from my son when he was 2.

  • You’re a Big Man!

    An experimental jazz track sampling and remixing an improvised acapella recording, incorporating horns and a live jazzy feel to a lighthearted melody about my son growing up. “You’re a Big Man!” started as a simple voice memo ( a proud dad moment caught on tape ) and evolved into a horn-driven, jazz-flavored celebration of watching your little one hit those big milestones.

  • Mac and Cheese!

    “Mac and Cheese!” is an ode to the one meal that never gets turned down! After time and time again trying to make something nice for my kids for dinner, we’ve come to realize if there’s mac and cheese, it’s gonna be a winner.
