Our first release for 2025 is a patter track based on the Ivan Jack remix of “Stand By Me.” Both of my classes enjoy line dancing between tips and this piece of line dance music just made me want to move. I finally decided it was time to get into the studio and create a version of this fun rhythm track, without the heavy melody and vocals. My classes have really enjoyed it. (Don’t be surprised when we take this fun rhythm track and translate it to a different kind of singer for this iconic song. It’s already in the works.)

Our singing call for February is based on Shania Twain’s “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You).” This one is just a fun and silly song, which is exactly what those who reviewed Shania’s version said when it was first released. They predicted it would do well commercially, which it did, hitting multiple charts around the world. In the US, it was on the charts for 20 weeks, peaking at number six (country chart) and number 40 (Billboard Top 100).

Staff caller David Mee sings on the male range, with me (Shauna Kaaria) on the female range. Jimmy Mac, David Mee, and myself provide the harmony tracks.
