Actually Dad, one of the songwriters had performed with Brian Wilson back in the day! James ended up the highest bidder on a different songwriter and they came up with an incredibly cute and hilarious song for us. In under an hour!

We're supposed to get a copy of the song in the next few weeks... I'll try to turn it into a file you can listen to on your computer!
