about

A children's action song that both calms and soothes.
Smooth jazz rhythms and grooves, with great flugelhorn, saxophone, piano and cello.
Superb vocal, smooth and polished, from singer Edward De Simone.


The story behind the song

Kids love to move and dance! Give children a scarf and watch them go!
Dizzy Wizzy is a calming action song that provides a perfect backdrop for some creative dance and movement.
Jo Steel has created a chilled vibe with this song, ideal for children to explore the space all around them: round and around, up high and down low, and then side-to side.

The light bossa nova rhythm feels relaxing and smooth from the solo flugelhorn introduction, then the textures and layers build, with saxophone and cello overlapping each other. The delightful piano solo follows the path of a small child spinning around, getting a little dizzy…
Finally, everything slows down to a moment of calm and relaxation.

lyrics

Lyrics

Round and around and around and around I go
Like a wheel that is turning around, see me go
Twisting and twirling and whizzing and whirling along
Spinning around getting dizzy, so I slow down

Stretch up high, reach down low
Stretch up high, reach down low

Round and around and around and around, I go
Like a wheel that is turning around, see me go
Twisting and twirling and whizzing and whirling along
Spinning around getting dizzy, so I slow down

Side to side, I stretch out wide
Side to side, see me sway
Side to side, I stretch out wide
Side to side, this way

Round and around and around and around I go
Like a wheel that is turning around, see me go
Twisting and twirling and whizzing and whirling along

Spinning around I am spinning around
Spinning around getting dizzy
Spinning around and then I slow down
