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 individualists 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. This interactive book fuses the sounds of Doctor Noize's beloved recording of the same name -- with its national #1 hit song Banana -- with the storytelling and colorful animation of the accompanying book. And it has scores of new wonders:

Wanna mix your own version of Doctor Noize's theme song, I'm With The Band? You can do it here. Wanna hear Doctor Noize narrate the book himself, with his signature storyteller's delivery? Check. Want to trigger Phineas and The Band to say things they don't say on the recording? Now's your chance.

As always, this Doctor Noize production is created with a deep love and admiration for the brilliance of children and the adults who belong to them. Enjoy The Ballad Of Phineas McBoof Interactive Book.

Charlotte Bohn, Baltimore's Child
