What is this place? Where did it come from?

Ralph's World is the musical place where little guys and gals and their folks can rock rock rock and sing sing sing along without overdosing on sucrose. You can go to the bottom of the sea to the driver's seat of a big rig to swinging on a jungle vine in just a few songs.

It's the creation of indie rocker and songwriter Ralph Covert, now residing in the Disney universe. The leader of Chicago's top local pop-rockers of the last decade, The Bad Examples, takes the same high energy and McCartney-esque super-melodic approach to children's music- basically only the lyrics are changed for the ears of the innocent.

The universal critical acclaim includes The New York Times, NPR, Parents Magazine, and a Grammy nomination for last year's "Green Gorilla" disc. His new CD-DVD from Disney Sound, "Welcome To Ralph's World!," was released October 3rd.
