Biography:
The adventures are fun and well written and the dialog is witty, but the thing that really sets The Backyardigans apart is the music and the dancing. Each episode has a musical theme for which the staff composers (notably Evan Lurie of the Lounge Lizards) create original music and songs of often surprisingly high quality.
So far The Backyardigans musical vocabulary ranges from 60s Garage Punk (Monster Detective) to Bossa Nova (Castaways) to Kenya Highlife (Mission to Mars) to Klezmer (Horsin' Around).

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is from the Backyardigans episode 67, "The Funnyman Boogyman." I've watched it so
many times with my son that it gets stuck in my brain, so I had to figure out the chords
to be able to play it. The actual song on the show is a half-step up from these chords,
so use a capo on the first fret if you want to be in the original key.
Here's a youtube link to the song: https://youtu.be/3sXNwXT0RO8?t=18m45s
