Reaching Out To Mountain Dew


After being a fan of Mountain Dew for a number of years now, we feel timing is right for Mountain Dew to come out with a line for Mr. Duey...

It should be called Mountain Duey!

Also we think it should be an energy/brain stimulant type of drink. Maybe with a little Ginkgo Biloba added to it and less sugar for the younger kids.. Combine Mountain Duey with his educational rap songs and you will have nothing but success in school!

What do you think about a Mountain Duey drink for kids? Tell us by leaving a comment, or here is the link to Pepsi Co. so you can tell them directly.

"Cells" video just added!


Mrs. Bunyi in Murfreesboro TN, had her 4th class create Mr. Duey's "Cells" video after a school performance by Mr. Duey last November. The students participated in recording the live show and implementing student drawings and pictures in the video..The 4th Graders created the entire video and was produced by Angela Bunyi.

Voted #1 on Scholastic.com - Inside Angela's 4th Grade Classroom

"This is one of the most popular links on Teachertube, and it is easy to see why! When I first heard Mr. Duey's music last year, I knew we just HAD to have him perform at our school. This actual classroom teacher offers a CD, lyrics, musis, t-shirts, and even school performances. With an actual background in music, Mr. Duey's songs will become an addition to your classroom repertoire." -Mrs. Bunyi

(voted number one do to his balance of reaching across the content areas on one CD-and for his coolness)

Students, welcome back to school!

I hope all the students had a great summer off. It' that time to start getting your brains focused on the task at hand. School!

I know it's hard to get back into the swing of things, but it's a tough world out there and you need your education. Study hard then you can play hard. If you're having trouble grasping some of the info, you can always listen to some of my music on your iPods.

I wish all of you a great and prosperous year. I hope all of you will get A's and have some fun doing it. Make your teachers and parents proud, but more importantly succeed for yourself.

-Mr. Duey
