Was listening to the new Ludacris track on the way home:
"I'm an explorer like Dora,
But Swiper can't swipe me"
Nearly crashed the car. Luda MUST have little kids. My three year old is mad for Dora the Explorer. In the UK you can catch it on Nick Jr. I just adore it. Dora's voice is, well you have to hear it, so perfect. The songs are great too:
"Come on, vamanos, everybody lets go!"
Dora is this plucky little 5 year-old chiquita who goes on ADVENTURES. She rescues the little Jaguar from the waterfall. She gets granny a chocolate tree. She finds a present for her baby puppy.
Dora has a pet monkley called Boots. Boots says "I love you Dora". Dora talks to the camera:
"What was your favourite bit of our adventure?"
__REALLY BIG PAUSE___ Lulu shouts at the TV.
"Oh I liked that part too!"
Dora is full of oddities. The Festival trio, a Frog, snail and slug who appear when she has completed each of her three tasks and play a little triumphal fanfare on tiny instruments (SOOOOO Jim Woodring!) Then there is Backpack who after he's produced the item Dora needs (for example, a spare tyre for Esa the Iguana!) eats everything else: "Yum yum yum, delicioso!" And Swiper the fox! "Swiper no swiping!"
Everything is spoken in a mixture of Spanish and English, which for us Brits is plain weird. Lulu, my baby girl is now always coming out with Spainsh words: Arriba, Abaho, Sienna. Even occasionally words which we dont know the meaning of! Woops!
At the end of each show Dora sings "We did it!" this charming little celebration song and does her little wiggly dance.
Seriously, if you havent clocked it, even if you're a hardened bad boy (like Ludacris!) do yourself a favour and check it out.
