Django Jones’ offers delish lyrics

“D is for Django” — the first album by Django Jones, a trio comprised of ex-Girlyman musicians: Doris Muramatsu, JJ Jones, and Nate Borofsky — is full of humor, heart, and fun facts about everything from the Aztecs to vertebrae. The band — and their chihuahua, Django — exchange playful banter between songs, creating camaraderie with their listeners, kids ages 4–9.

The album also puts the D in delicious with several songs about food: “P-O-P,” a pop-rock ode to popcorn, and “Potato Leek Soup,” a ballad that extols the virtues of a dish that rarely makes it onto children’s menus, and (spoiler alert!) ends with a burp. “Breakfast” is a bango-rich ode to the most important meal of the day — and to the dad that makes it happen, just in time for Father’s Day!

Without a doubt, Django Jones certainly knows what topics interest children — and what lyrics tickle their parents’ funny bones.
