Threenager song — "THREEnager!" cover art by Snuggle Bunch

THREEnager!

About This Song

They want it. They need it. They must have it right now! You hand it over and…nope, they don’t want it anymore, it’s on the floor. Welcome to three. “THREEnager!” is told from the kid’s perspective, -!: they make a fair point: they’ve only been on this planet for three short years, everything is a challenge. That doesn’t make the “why why why” phase any easier to survive, but at least now it has a beat!

This family hip hop anthem for the threenager stage captures the beautiful chaos of raising a three-year-old. Parents of preschoolers who are deep in the trenches: you’re not alone! But yes, things were easier when they were two.

Lyrics

🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵

I’ve only been on this planet
For three short years
But I gotta tell ya one thing is clear
I know I’m loud
And I don’t mean to shout
But that’s just how
My feelings come out

THREEnager

That thing in your hand
I want it a lot
If I don’t have it right now
I’m a blow my top
When you hand it over
I won’t want it no more
I’ll chuck that old thing
Right onto the floor

I’m just being me
And that’s all I can do
Can you believe things were easier
When I was two?
Every day a new challenge
A new battle to wage
But it’s all appropriate
For my age

THREEnager
THREEnager
Why why why why why why why
THREEnager
I’m a THREEnager
Why why why why why why why
THREEnager

  • Little Bird!

    There’s something special about watching a little bird hop around in a tree. Happy, wild, free, doing a little wiggle and fluffing its feathers. It just clicks with kids! “Little Bird!” captures that wide-eyed wonder. We wrote this one outside of daycare right after dropoff, it has a special place in our hearts!

  • Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)

    Every parent knows the scene: you just tidied up, turned around for one second, and your toddler has redecorated the entire room with blocks, trains, and dinosaurs. “Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)” captures that moment perfectly, the parenting experience told from the kid’s point of view. My three year old actually said “I’m sorry mommy, I made a mess” and I knew there was a song there!

  • I’m a Dog!

    “I’m a Dog!” captures that pure, unfiltered joy of pretending to be a puppy! Complete with woofing, being aloof, and dropping bars in the booth. It’s silly, it’s loud, and it’s exactly as chaotic as the living room on a Saturday morning.

  • Little Man Dance

    A new experimental jazz tune with Jazz Animals, inspired entirely by this adorable squat dance my one year old does whenever he hears a song he likes! A big fan of the sound of a trumpet, this one takes a similar sample-based approach to You’re a Big Man!, but with a slightly more laid-back vibe.

  • Time to Take a Nap (Foxy’s Version)

    One of our first songs was a lullaby featuring folk singer Mama Goose. After recording, we decided to let Foxy have a shot at recording this a laid-back, melodic spin on one of our first tracks. It hits different when you need something a little softer to wind things down. Featuring an extended outro thats designed to give parents the time to pause the music and sneak out of the room.

  • 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.
