“Goo Goo Ga Ga!”
Joe Scruggs is bringing his
Nanny Nanny Boo Boo Revu
to Manchester College!
 Tell
me more about Joe Scruggs
Just what are Bahamas Pajamas? Do you know Even Trolls Have
Moms? Kids know that these – and the catchy Goo Goo Ga Ga –
are the wonderfully wacky songs of children’s singer-songwriter Joe
Scruggs.
The award-winning goofball is bringing his menagerie of skits, songs and
colorful characters to the Manchester College stage at 3 p.m. on Sunday,
Nov. 20. Appropriately, the “Nanny Nanny Boo Boo Review” is free for all
children 12 and under. While the program is focused on kids age 4 to 8,
Scruggs has delighted adult audiences of the Today Show, David
Letterman Show, PBS show Barney, and even the Atlantis space
shuttle astronauts.
Other tickets for the show in Cordier Auditorium on the North
Manchester, Ind., campus are $7 for adults, $5 for senior citizens and
children over 12. Reservations are strongly recommended, 260-982-5551.
Scruggs, who lives with his wife and children in Texas, began
captivating audiences all around the globe 20 years ago with his psychic
puppet songsters.
Influenced by folk singers of the ’60s, the music is laid-back, with
songs about growing up, like Rapunzel Got a Mohawk and Big
Underwear, which have earned five Parents’ Choice Awards and a
CableACE Award, among dozens of other honors. He has produced nine
albums and two videos with his school pal, Pete Markham, and teacher
lesson plans to accompany the music. For more about Joe Scruggs, visit

The Manchester College Student Education Association will provide
activities to keep antsy children busy before the concert, beginning at
2:30 in the Cordier lobby. Afterward, Scruggs will sign autographs. His
music and merchandise also will be on sale in the lobby.
Last spring, Manchester College student teachers were assigned to 35
northern Indiana schools. More than 300 students enrolled in MC
education classes will total more than 27,000 hours of classroom field
experience this year. For more about the Education Department, which
offers 16 licensing areas, call 260-982-5056 or visit the College
