All Debbie & Friends cartoons include a very quick “spider cameo.” It happens so fast that it’s easy to miss!
The Spider Cameo in “Home Run Ronnie”
I have a challenge for you, our awesome fan families…
FIND THOSE SPIDERS!
To enter the contest, watch our music videos in the player below and try to find the spider in each one! Parents: simply jot down the approximate time the spider appears in each video, and send me an email with the answers for all six: Debbie [@] debbieandfriends.net on or before June 14, 2010.
For Example:
Home Run Ronnie: spider appears at 3:57
…and so on…
The band and I will throw the names of all the entering families into a hat on June 15, and draw the name of the lucky winner who will receive a Debbie & Friends Prize Package that includes a D&F T-shirt, two CDs, an egg shaker, and a personalized note.
To view the movies in fullscreen mode, click “Fullscreen” at the bottom of the player.
Have fun and good luck finding those spiders!

Thanks for all of your interest in the Debbie and Friends GarageBand Remix Contest. It’s been great fun!
The winner is Boogie Cindy from the Boogie Wonder Band, and 12-year old Alaïa Lamontagne. Congratulations to Cindy and Alaïa for producing a very creative rendition of “Willy Won’t” complete with a percussion break, vocal effects, a kids shout-out chorus, and much more.
As you will hear, they transformed “Willy Won’t” from its original Southern-rock feel to that of an Electronica tune. It’s very cool! To hear the winning track, check out the music player on the Remix Contest Site:

Calling all Kids (and their Parents): Create a Debbie and Friends Remix in GarageBand and enter your remix to win some great prizes!
Here’s a chance to try your hand as a record producer. Between now and April 4, families can play around with the tracks of “Willy Won’t,” a new song from our forthcoming CD, More Story Songs & Sing Alongs, to create their own version.
It is easy to enter the contest at http://debbieandfriendsremix.ning.com/.
Contestants may download the Garageband file to the song “Willy Won’t” from the contest site, and load it into their GarageBand app on their Mac computer. The family mix engineers can then record additional tracks, raise or lower the volume on existing tracks, add special effects, and add their own special touches to create a unique version of “Willy Won’t.”
Contestants must submit their remix entries by Sunday, April 4th, as instructed on the contest site.
All entries will be considered, and the winner will be announced on Monday, April 5th. The winners will receive great prizes from Debbie and Friends including CDs, music instructional books, t-shirts and other great gear. The winning remix will also be featured on this blog.
Here’s the original version.
Let’s hear what yours will sound like! Good luck!
