Subject: I wrote the song.
Paul,
I was browsing around the net this evening and discovered your website. I'm the person who wrote the song, "Mesozoic Mind," and the screenplay. Believe me, it's a surprise to find out that people still remember it. My name has changed to Virginia Theimer Erlandsson (new marriage), but I'm still doing stuff with and for kids. I think I may still have a few VHS copies of the original video....
Best,
Ginny

Welcome to MesozoicMind.com! This site has a small following of fans of the song "Mesozoic Mind" which appears on the video "Dinosaurs! A Fun-Filled Trip Back in Time." If you have stumbled upon this site, because that tune suddenly popped into your head after many years, you're not alone. I get e-mail all the time from people with the same story. Suddenly they started humming that familiar tune, and decided to search the web for it, and they couldn't believe their eyes when they found this place. That is why I started this website. For moments like that.
I hope to put up all sorts of great Mesozoic Mind stuff. We have the lyrics, the song, pictures, and guitar tabs.

Can anyone get me an interview with Fred Savage?
Any animators or "Charmer" band members find this site? We'd like your stories!

Finally updated the Fan Mail! It's been forever, but I've finally added 12 more e-mails to our letters page. I decided to update the page while watching Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Vector Art: I'm also hard at work on vectorizing the four dinosaurs in the band. I'm currently working on the T-Rex, tracing this picture in Illustrator. If anyone wants to help, you're more than welcome! I'm hoping to use the new versions throughout the website, and maybe even for merch in the store.
How about this: if you create a vector version of a character, and it is awesome (i.e. looks exactly, or extremely close to, any of the dinosaurs in the band), and we add it to our store, I'll pay for a single item of your choice (save for the skateboard, I'd say limit $40). What I'd ask is for you to send me the packing slip from your received order, and I'll reimburse you. That's in return for some awesome vector art that all fans get to enjoy. I don't make any money from this website, and it'll help cover hosting fees to have awesome stuff for sale.
Also, if you create some unique looking vector versions of the dinosaurs in the band, and they are still recognizable as being in the band, I'll consider that as well.
I can make no guarantees that I can / will be able to use all submissions (if any!), but the offer is on the table!

Mesozoic Mind Remix Announcement: We've received word from one of the creators of the original Mesozoic Mind that a special edition is coming. One that includes a remixed version of the song. It's going to feature many musicians coming together to make their own mixes of the song. The one musician that has been announced so far? Moby.
And on this, the first of April 2009, let's celebrate history as another version of the song is in the works! (Lame April Fool's Day Joke!)
