What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the hype around High School Musical. Do you think the build up works or are you tired of hearing about it by the time the movie comes out? Does hearing the single make you want to see the movie or buy the entire album? Why do you think movies and artists put out singles before the full CD comes out?

What's the story?

What's the story?
WHAT TIME IS IT? is a bouncy, good-time ode to summer fun, released in anticipation of the Disney Channel's feature High School Musical 2. "What time is it? Summertime! It's our vacation/What time is it? Party time! That's right, say it loud/What time is it? Time of our lives, anticipation/What time is it? Summertime! School's out, scream and shout..." perfectly captures the delightful anticipation of the beginning of summer.

Is it any good?

Another sure hit!
The music to the first High School Musical was catchy and stuck in your head for days, especially when my daughters were signing them every day. This new song from HSM2 is sure to follow in the same footsteps of the other songs. If all the songs are as catchy, they have another hit on their hands. I've already got this stuck in my head as well. I'm pleased that Disney is putting out such a good message and giving my kids these choices.

A good song.....
I like the movie and this song FROM the movie is no exception. This certainly isn't my favorite song from the movie but it's my third or fourth. It is a good song. Kudos to Disney for using THIS song to promote the movie.
