Doctor Noize

• Dr. Noize… you crazy cat! Thank you for the personalized Ballad of Phineas McBoof – (my daughter) LOVES it!!! I also appreciate all the Jazz references that you made, as that is my favorite music. Keep up the good work.

“There once was a monkey — McBoof was his name.
His fans called him Phineas, and he had great fame…”

So starts the journey of the great enigmatic monkey, Phineas McBoof, as he fleetingly flees fame and fortune to find philosophy and form his fantastic new band, The International Band Of Misunderstood Geniuses. Take an adventure with rugged individuals like Backbone The Octopus, Bottomus The Hip Popotamus, Riley The Robot, Lenny Long Tail, and The Ooh Gah Boo Gus as they travel the world with one thing in common: They groove to their own music.

So come join The International Band Of Misunderstood Geniuses to find your own inner genius. With colorful characters brought to life by the words of Doctor Noize and the illustrations of Christian Lowe — two dads who’ve been best buddies since they read and wrote picture books together in grade school — this book tells the same tale as Doctor Noize’s beloved recording of the same name, with its #1 national hit song “Banana.”
