It’s OK To Do Stuff

 

After forty years, Marlo Thomas’ classic children’s album, Free To Be… You And Me finally has the parody it deserves. Along with Rob Kutner (Conan, The Daily Show) and fellow Levinson Brother Joel, I’ve released It’s OK To Do Stuff. The album features loads of funny folks and talented musicians, including Fred Willard, Lizzy Caplan, Wyatt Cenac, Samantha Bee, Megan Amram, Colin Hanks, Steven Page (formerly of Barenaked Ladies), Jane Wiedlin (The Go Gos), Fred Stoller, Andy Richter, Eugene Mirman and more.

It’s OK is available as a download for under $4 – $6 from Rooftop Records, iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon.

All profits will be donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
