Chef and Pat have always made music for children. Then Pat got a ticket, and the Telephone Company seriously started playing to clear up some community service. The Telephone Company uses bear heads, king puppets, and spirit-gum mustaches to illustrate their whimsical, strange songs about the trials and tribulations of facial hair, kings and flies, telephones, and babies riding on buses with a large assortment of dirty animals. Instrumentation is a grab-bag assortment of drums, jew's-harp, nose flute, guitar, toy piano, xylophone, and whatever kind of other percussive effects can be made by their overly expressive bodies. Parents get confused, kids get excited, 'cause the Telephone Company are “hardcore baby fans/the Telephone Company is a magical band.”
