Eric Herman (real name Eric Herman Endres) is a children's music performer based in the Pacific Northwest. His music combines various styles of rock music with often wryly humorous kid-related lyrics to create what he refers to as "cool tunes for kids". Popular songs of his include the viral YouTube hit, "The Elephant Song", "There's a Monster in My House", "Blackbeard, Bluebeard and Redbeard" and "Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous".
Herman performed with Western New York area rock bands including Ember and The Infydels, and he was a regular performer on the Buffalo area acoustic singer/songwriter and live theater scenes. In 2003 a successful production of a musical comedy he wrote, A Week in the Life, was staged at the Alleyway Theater in Buffalo, New York, earning him an Artie Award nomination as "Best Actor in a Musical". But with the success of his first album of music for kids, The Kid in the Mirror, Herman decided to devote his full attention to producing and performing kids' music under the act name Eric Herman and the Invisible Band. His second album, Monkey Business, proved even more successful, with Seattle's Victory Music Review calling it "one of the best kids' records ever". He has since released three more CDs, Snow Day!, Snail's Pace and What a Ride!, to further acclaim.
How would you live in a world without pills for everything?
The world is knee deep in vices and everybody's got one.
Huffing paint and snorting dust.
Just to keep life out.
Excuses are like assholes and yours stinks.
Sifting though the bullshit to see what's going on.
We are here to find the answers.
Now it's time to open up.
Now I've seen though the bullshit and know what's going on.
Lies.
Lies.
It's all lies.
It's kinda like pulling teeth.
Move it.
Lay the tarp to keep it clean.
All busted up.
It's like some pornographic image.
We are here to find the answers.
Now it's time to get them out.
Don't make me say it again.
