CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Well, let's talk about music videos now. Music videos usually call on party people. Now there's one calling for potty people and for some it's a big hit.
Our Jeanne Moos reports.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): When it comes to potty training, this is music meant to inspire a movement. "I Gotta Go" is surely destined to make it to number one, not to mention number two.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO")
UNIDENTIFIED CHILDREN: Cause I feel that feeling way down below. Hey, hey, hey, I gotta go.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: From the title track to the unforgettable "Me Potty Wotty."
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO")
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Gonna take my potty wotty to the potty wotty wotty potty room.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: To our personal favorite...
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO")
UNIDENTIFIED CHILDREN: I'm a hotty for the potty.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: Who wouldn't be a hotty for the potty after listening to this just released collection of 10 tunes?
VICKI ESRALEW, FOUNDER, VICKILEW.COM: From swing to reggae to actually hip hop.
MOOS: A hip hop potty song?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO") UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: The time seemed right, I seen the light, I'm ready for drier days. Oh, I have the power.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: Sure, there have been books, but not everyone sings about the subject.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO")
UNIDENTIFIED CHILDREN: Doing the potty dance.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: The founder of a suburban Chicago company that specializes in parenting products says she was inspired by her own daughter's potty training experience.
ESRALEW: She ended up having an accident and fell right in the toilet and her fear factor went from zero to about 110 percent. So we ended up making up adorable little songs to help her feel more comfortable.
MOOS: Vicky Esralew collaborated with pediatricians and commercial jingle composers. She held a casting call for kids.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO")
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pull down, pull on, look what I can do.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: Not to mention a potty trained chimp.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: That monkey's sure funny.
MOOS: Angel the chimp learned to potty my mimicking his keepers. Guess they didn't close the door. Angel even flushes the toilet.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Now he flushed the toilet.
MOOS (on camera): Good.
(voice-over): Though Angel's owner says if left alone, he would flush a hundred times. "I Gotta Go" is aimed at people like Ryan's mom, who has a new year's motto.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Diaper-free, 2003.
MOOS: Parents will try anything. Cereal ends up in the wrong bowl.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The parents have put Cheerios in the toilet and the boys aim at it like it's a target.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO") UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: You'll soon be wearing big kid underpants.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: The kids we played the tape for seemed to find it catchy.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Doing the potty dance.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO")
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I'm a hotty for the potty.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: The video and CD are available at Walmart.com. Imagine driving around blasting potty sounds.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO")
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Bye-bye, diapers, hello fun.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MOOS: Just be prepared to make rest stops.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP "I GOTTA GO")
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pull down when you're ready, pull on when you're through.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
