3	In the 1970s, Christian praise leaders Debbie Kerner and Ernie Rettino were making albums of praise music, and decided to try putting an album together specifically for kids. They made it appealing by mixing in some cartoonish sounds with children's church music, creating a cartoon mascot called Psalty the Singing Songbook, and by giving each album a narrative.
4
5	The first album was released in 1980 by Maranatha! Music, and spawned nine numbered sequels, multiple other special albums, live stage productions, and several released-to-home-video movies.
6
7	The most well-known stage productions starring Psalty is ''Psalty's Christmas Calamity'' from 1982, ''Psalty's Funtastic Praise Party'' from 1993, and ''Psalty's All New Praise! Party!'' (with Solomon the Supersonic Salamnder as a SpecialGuest). ''Psalty's Christmas Calamity'' has gained a few local stage productions at a few American churches in recent years.
8
9	In 1997, Debbie Kerner and Ernie Rettino attempted to introduce Psalty to the international market with a Dutch version of ''Funtastic Praise Party''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bABqidIy9PM The Dutch version]] was shown at "The Blessing Den Haag Church" (aka "Capitol Evangelie Centrum" [[note]] "Capitol Gospel Center" in English [[/note]]) in Hague, Netherlands. This version is very similar to the original American version with the only differences is changing the characters names (except Psalty,) and Psalty, Charity, and Risky Rat played by local Dutch actors, different puppets, and a [[KingOfBeasts lion]] and [[SweetSheep lamb]] appearing as Psalty invites the audience on a pretend camping trip.

11	----
12	!! Kid's Praise' music contains examples of:
13	* AdventuresInTheBible: The 7th album involves time travel while the kids learn about how praise songs have been written over the centuries, and the first two stops are in Bible times: King David while he was still a shepherd boy playing his harp, and the dedication of Solomon's Temple.
14	* AllJustADream: In the fourth album, an ambitious gospel singer falls asleep while trying to write a song, and has a dream that a conman tricks her into signing a contract that quite ''literally'' traps her! She wakes up screaming her lungs out.
15	* AmazingFreakingGrace: They actually get to listen to the pastor who wrote Amazing Grace preach in the seventh album, which is a time travel plot.
16	* AnAesop: Being a Christian work aimed at kids, these are inevitable. The arc aesop of the whole thing is that you have to actually mean it when you're praising God, but numerous other ones appear about determination, problem-solving, kindness, empathy, patience, praying for guidance before making big decisions...the list goes on.
17	* AnachronicOrder: This is perhaps the most bizarre example of this trope in existence, and applies simultaneously on a meta level ''and'' PlayedForDrama in-universe. Hold on to your hats, folks:
18	** In real life, the tenth Kid's Praise album was released before the ninth, and this was intentional.
19	** The ninth album was actually a prop and a plot point in the tenth album: Risky Rat stole every copy of the ninth album, and this even happened ''in'' the tenth album as a cliffhanger. It was stated during the tenth album that the aesops in the ninth album were about helping kids grow as Christians.
20	** When the ninth album was released, the overall plot of the ninth album was chasing Risky Rat to recover...[[MindScrew the ninth album]]. During this adventure, there are songs and lessons about how to grow as a Christian.
21	** [[spoiler: Risky Rat succeeded in destroying every copy of the ninth album [[MindScrew during the ninth album]]. However, it turns out Rhythm was using a tape recorder to record the whole adventure, including the songs and lessons about growing as a Christian that happened during the adventure, and everything that Rhythm recorded functioned as a ''replacement for'' the ninth album!]]
22	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: This was likely done just for rhyming, but Risky Rat's VillainSong in the tenth album has him describing himself as, and we quote: ''clever, conniving, a spiritual gangster, a trickster, a charmer, a conman, a [[PokeThePoodle prankster]]''!
23	* AsTheGoodBookSays: Again, being a Christian work aimed at kids, Bible quotes are expected to crop up. One song is even a series of Bible quotes, listed in alphabetical order!
24	* BaseballEpisode: The eighth album is a pretty typical cliche baseball plot from TheEighties, where a couple of the Kid's Praise kids fail to make a team, so Psalty encourage them to [[StartMyOwn create their own team]] called "The Psalters". They lose so spectacularly in their first game, it's hard to believe, but win by a single run in a rematch for reasons that aren't really explained.
25	* BatmanGambit: In the ninth album, Risky Rat tricks the protagonists into believing certain apparently-natural events are signs from God, such as all the pillars in some jungle ruins falling in the same direction after an earthquake. [[spoiler: In reality, this was special effects ''simulating'' an earthquake in an abandoned movie set that happened to be in the general area of Africa where Risky was hiding.]]
26	* BigEater: Psalty's daughter Harmony in the sixth album has almost an entire song about this, during which she ravishes the potluck table without allowing anyone else to get a share of the food (and she even talks about drinking all the punch so she can use the punch-bowl as a plate for all the food). [[WhatTheHellHero Psalty is]] ''[[WhatTheHellHero not]]'' [[WhatTheHellHero amused]], especially considering Harmony's revelation that [[KickTheDog she'd earlier told one poverty-stricken kid not to come to the potluck]] simply because he couldn't afford to contribute a dish to the party.
27	--> '''Psalty:''' Harmony, I'm surprised at you. You didn't even [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking wait till we blessed the food]]! You and I need to have a little ''talk.''
28	* BookEnds: ''Psalty's Christmas Calamity'' begins with a performance of "Joy To The World", and ends with a reprise of the same song.
29	* ButNowIMustGo: The end of the second album has Psalty tell the kids that he needs to go visit other kids, but that he'll see them again.
30	* CampingEpisode: The fifth album, which has the title "Psalty's Camping Adventure".
31	* CannibalTribe: Discussed in the ninth album; while adventuring in Africa, one of the kids voices a concern that they might run into some, but Psalty tries to assure them that there aren't many cannibals left in modern times. [[OhCrap Then they meet a tribe that only eats books.]]
32	* CardCarryingVillain: Risky Rat's VillainSong cements his status this way: he describes himself as a conman, a spiritual gangster, and he's clearly proud of it!
33	* {{Catchphrase}}: Psalty's catchphrase is "Praise the Lord" when he gets extremely excited, happy, or upbeat. In a 1997 Dutch stage show, he says "Halleujah" which is the original Hebrew word for it.
34	* ChasteToons: Averted: in the TimeSkip between the second and third albums, Psalty's managed to get married and have triplets.
35	* ChristmasEpisode: This series actually has two of them: ''Psalty's Christmas Calamity'' and ''Psalty's Family Christmas Singalong''.
36	* ClipShow: The series had a clip album: ''Psalty's Singalongathon Maranatha Marathon Hallelujah Jubilee,'' set up as a TV special where viewers at home could phone in their votes for their favorite songs from the previous albums, which Psalty and the Kids would then perform.
37	* ContinuityNod: In the 10th album, Risky Rat reappears. Charity recognizes him, though it takes her a little while to realize exactly who he is.
38	* CounterpointDuet: The 6th album's "Pig Out" song finishes as this, with Harmony singing about pigging out and [[ItsAllAboutMe not caring about others]] simultaneously with Psalty [[WhatTheHellHero calling his daughter out on her attitude and behavior]] in the last chorus.
39	* CreditsGag: The credits for the DirectToDVD ''Psalty's Salvation Celebration'' includes a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, apropos of nothing.
40	* {{Crossover}}: Psalty visits Colby the Christian Robot in the episode "Check Your Connection" of ''Colby's Clubhouse'' where he asks Colby for help to fix his broken computer.
41	* DidNotThinkThisThrough: The seventh album begins with two separate instances of this trope in action:
42	** First, Psalty agreed to a history-of-hymns project that would take weeks of research, and would be due in ''two days''. He even admits that he agreed without realizing how long it would take.
43	** Second, he tries to invent a machine that stretches time to allow himself and the kids to do those weeks of research in under 24 hours. However, he shows it to the kids ''before'' he tests it, and [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo kids]] [[TimeMachine will be]] [[TrappedInThePast kids]]...
44	* EccentricArtist: Psalty and the kids are mistaken for this while time-travelling:
45	--> '''Brother Fred''': What're we gonna do, Brother Ted? The musicians haven't shown up yet!
46	--> '''Brother Ted''': I don't know, Brother Fred, but there are five hundred people in that tent, waiting for the service to start!
47	--> (Time-travellers appear)
48	--> '''Brother Fred''': What's ''that?!''
49	--> '''Brother Ted''': I don't know! They're ''very'' different-looking...
50	--> '''Brother Fred''': Then they ''must'' be the musicians! Hurry up! Hurry up, now, you're late!
51	* EdibleThemeNaming: The anthropomorphic mouse choir from the fourth album are all named after different kinds of cheese.
52	* EpicFail: The eighth album is a typical 80s baseball story, except that the kids' first game has them lose to their rivals by over 40 points without scoring a single run, themselves.
53	* EvilIsHammy: Risky Rat easily fits the trope in his appearances; speaking in a very over-the-top manner an emphasizing ''ev''ery em''o''tion!
54	* {{Foil}}: [[ItsAllAboutMe Harmony]] and [[JoblessParentDrama Jimmy]]. The second time Harmony spun the globe, Jimmy showed up due to his need for food -- and the second time Jimmy spun the globe, Harmony showed up due to her need for a [[CharacterDevelopment change of heart]].
55	* ForTheEvulz: Risky Rat's motivations seem to decay into this over time; while he still describes himelf as a ConMan in later albums, he seems to want to keep kids from knowing or praising God...simply ''because''.
56	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early in the sixth album, the kids express confusion when Psalty's newly-invented Psaltyscope (a globe that shows live images of people in different countries across the planet) shows a local neighborhood boy whose family is in poverty, under their reasoning that he's not from the other side of the world. Psalty then explains that there are people with needs who live as close as their own neighborhood, or even in their own homes. [[spoiler:At the very end of the album, the Psaltyscope shows an image of Psalty's own daughter Harmony, who's in need of a change of heart and mindset]].
57	* FunnyAnimal: Charity Churchmouse is simultaneously a mouse and a gospel singer. The churchmouse choir and Risky Rat also qualify, being covered with fur and being otherwise practically interchangeable with humans.
58	* FunWithHomophones: It takes them until the ninth album to do this, but they finally make a pun about Psalty tasting terrible because he's got too much salt. The context is that there are [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext cannibals who only eat books]] who want to eat Psalty.
59	* FurryReminder: Technically it's for an anthropomorphic ''book'' and not an anthropomorphic animal, but there are numerous reminders in the albums that Psalty and his family are books, e.g. talking about book covers instead of about clothes, turning Psalty's pages in preparation for a song, etc.
60	* GadgeteerGenius: Psalty is an inventor as well as a praise leader, having invented a vehicle made of musical instruments, surveillance equipment that shows people in spiritual need, and even managing to invent a time machine ''[[AchievementsInIgnorance by accident]]''!
61	* GodIsGood: Par for the course in a Christian work, but whenever God makes an appearance and speaks to Psalty directly, He's invariably understanding and kind.
62	* GodWasMyCoPilot: God appears in one Christmas album and explicitly tells Psalty that the apparently-magical music that accompanies his songs is actually God's own doing.
63	* GospelRevivalNumber: "God is Great" from the fifth album.
64	* HelpingWouldBeKillStealing: At one point in the fifth album (i.e. the camping trip), two boys have difficulty putting their tent up, and ask Psalty to do it for them. Psalty tells the kids that the challenge is their opportunity to grow, but he does give them some general problem-solving strategy tips.
65	* HelpYourselfInTheFuture: The last stop Psalty and the kids make before getting back to the present is in the 1950s when Psalty was himself young. The adult Psalty helps to inspire him, and they share a duet of the hymn "Take My Life and Let It Be".
66	* HorribleCampingTrip: From the kids' perspective, this is subverted in the 5th album. They get tired and hot from all the uphill hiking, and two kids get lost at night, but it's really only their attitude that gets in the way of having fun, and Psalty's well aware of this and keeps encouraging the kids so that they will have fun and grow from the experience.
67	* HumansAreFlawed: It's not uncommon for characters (even Psalty himself!) to display flaws, such as selfishness, lack of empathy, or not having their priorities straight. How they and those around them deal with those flaws is a common recurring theme.
68	* ImpossibleThief: Risky Rat, the series' go-to villain, managed to steal every copy of the ninth album. Psalty called the churches and bookstores to see if any copies were anywhere, but there were absolutely ''none left'': somehow Risky got them ''all'' in a very short time.
69	** The video version changes this slightly to where Risky steals the just finished master tapes, presumably before any copies could have been made; which would be somewhat more plausible.
70	* InMysteriousWays:
71	** In some albums, God directly intervenes or speaks to Psalty when Psalty is at a particularly low point, but in the ninth album, God [[spoiler: provides a means of replacing the missing album that Risky Rat stole]], which only happened because of the ninth album's adventure in the first place!
72	** During the TimeTravel plot of the seventh album, Psalty and the kids appear in a few places and times where having a bunch of singing kids and a supernatural OneManBand like Psalty would actually be ''helpful''! These include a tent meeting where the musicians never showed up, a music printer who just modified a song and wanted to see how it sounded, and meeting Psalty himself when he was a child.
73	* ItsAllAboutMe: In the sixth album, Harmony has this attitude--even having a borderline VillainSong about it! She gets thoroughly called out on it and eventually [[CharacterDevelopment grows out of it]].
74	* JabbaTableManners: One of the catchiest songs in the whole series is a non-praise, plot-related song bordering on a VillainSong where Psalty's daughter Harmony makes an absolute ''pig'' of herself at a potluck to the tune of Tarantella Napoletana.
75	* JoblessParentDrama: The sixth album has a child whose father lost his job, and his family was having difficulty affording food.
76	* KickTheDog: In the sixth album, Harmony told a poor boy that he wasn't allowed to come to a potluck because his family couldn't afford to send him in with any food. She was promptly [[WhatTheHellHero called out on this behavior]] by her father, Psalty, and he sent Rhythm and another boy to go bring him over.
77	* KidsWildernessEpic: The fifth album has shades of this; the kids are hiking up a mountain to go camping, and throughout the narrative, the kids have a lot of difficulties: tents are hard to set up, hiking is hot, sweaty work, and when it gets dark, two of the kids get lost when they disobey Psalty's instructions to stay on the trail.
78	* LampshadeHanging: Probably because the target audience was young children, the series didn't really indulge in this much until later installments: in the ninth album, Psalty's ''[[SpeechImpairedAnimal pet dog]]'' is piloting the plane they're flying in. At first, Psalty was horrified, until he was reminded that he'd trusted [[FunnyAnimal Charity Churchmouse]] to pilot the plane before that...
79	* LargeHam: It's clear there were real child voice actors, and they tended to overact in some of the earlier albums, especially when they're supposed to be excited about something.
80	* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: In the third album[[note]]the one that introduces Psalty's family[[/note]], Rhythm has a habit of getting carried away playing drum solos...''between songs'' rather than during them. If Psalty weren't asking his son to turn it down, you might not guess that those solos weren't intended to be one of the songs.
81	* LyricalShoehorn: From "The Wa Wa Song":
82	-->On days when trials come\
83	And my heart goes '''clippity-ping'''\
84	I’m glad for Jesus Christ\
85	And that He taught me how to sing
86	* MadeASlave: Charity Churchmouse has a nightmare where she gets tricked into signing a contract that essentially enslaves her to Risky Rat.
87	* MagicalRealism: The world mostly resembles ours -- aside from the existence of sentient books, anthropomorphic rodents, several other anthropomorphic animals, and a [[SpeechImpairedAnimal speech-impaired dog]].
88	* {{Magitek}}: Psalty's Songmobile invention from the fourth album is a vehicle made of musical instruments, and since it only works properly if its user is praising God from his or her heart and makes ugly noises if it the user isn't, it's implied that the vehicle is a theurgistic variant of this.
89	* MistakenForSpecialGuest: In the seventh album, Psalty time-travels himself and the kids to an 1820 tent meeting. The tent meeting's organizers were expecting musicians, but the musicians never showed up; instead, when Psalty and the kids appeared, the organizers thought ''they'' were the musicians!
90	* MusicalThemeNaming: Psalty's "booklet" triplets: Harmony, Melody, and Rhythm.
91	* NiceMice: The anthropomorphic variety of this appears in the fourth album: there are a few churchmice forming a church's choir, and Charity Churchmouse becomes a recurring character.
92	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Nose-It-All's voice is based on Creator/EdWynn, best-known as the voice of The Mad Hatter from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''. Solomon's voice is also based on Ed Wynn provided by Rick Muchow.
93	* NoAntagonist: More albums than not have no actual villain---often there are characters who need to learn a lesson or two, but no actively malicious characters. When they need an antagonist, Risky Rat fills in.
94	* OneManBand: In a supernatural way, Psalty the Singing Songbook himself qualifies, as musical song accompaniments spontaneously start around him when kids near him praise The Lord. A straighter example of this is his Songmobile, a vehicle ''made of'' musical instruments, but [[{{Magitek}} even that still requires]] the user to be praising God for it to work, and interestingly, Psalty said the Songmobile was designed primarily to help ''write'' songs; actually performing them is a secondary purpose.
95	* PlotTechnology: Psalty manages to invent surveillance equipment that allows the kids to see people in need (spiritual or physical) and invents a time machine ''by accident''. In the ninth album, a SuperPrototype plane that the U.S. Air Force helps him put together is also at his disposal!
96	* RealAfterAll: The series' only villain is a con-artist called Risky Rat. He first appears in a dream where he offers Charity Churchmouse a contract allegedy to make her a star, but that actually makes her a slave, but then later he appears as a real character outside of anyone's dream. No one really comments on the fact that he first appeared in a dream, though.
97	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
98	** Psalty himself whenever he acts as an authority. In one of the Li'l Praisers videos, it begins raining outside, and Psalty uses that as a [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong song cue]] for the song about the Wise Man and the Foolish Man, and he has the kids put on their raincoats. One kid points out that they're indoors, and while other adults might scold the kid for questioning orders, Psalty just explains that they're costumes.
99	** {{God}} as well: at times, even Psalty makes mistakes, but every time God intervenes, He's understanding and forgiving.
100	* ReligiousEdutainment: Very specifically created to teach kids about the Christian faith.
101	* RhymesOnADime: Psalty's wife, Psaltina, has the infrequently-used ability to do this on-demand. Probably because she's an anthropomorphic poetry book.
102	* RosesAreRedVioletsAreBlue: Again, Psalty's wife, Psaltina, provides us with this from the third album:
103	-->Roses are red
104	-->Violets are blue
105	-->Until I met Psalty
106	-->I was blue, too!
107	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Rhonda from the DirectToVideo special ''Psalty's Salvation Celebration'' is like this in her first scene, sounding like she stuck her dialogue into an internet thesaurus translator. Thankfully, this is toned down in all her following scenes.
108	-->"We'll be villaging with our father over the summer respite."
109	* SiblingRivalry: Melody and Harmony, two of Psalty's triplets, argue a bit in the third album about whose musical part is more difficult.
110	* SmoothTalkingTalentAgent: Risky Rat, in his first appearance, is essentially this crossed with being a ConMan: he smooth-talks Charity Churchmouse into signing a contract that ''literally'' traps her and has her MadeASlave. Good thing that was AllJustADream!
111	** The video version of "Psalty's Salvation Celebration" has Risky reprise this gambit by posing as a talent agent named Ricky Rasmussen[[note]]the audio version had Risky pretending to be the conductor on the train Psalty and his team were on for their whistle stop tour[[/note]] in an attempt to dupe Shelly Barnes into signing with him.
112	* SpeechImpairedAnimal: Blooper is Psalty's pet dog, and is a lot like Scooby-Doo, to the point where his barks at times are intelligible speech to the other characters.
113	* SpinOff: Solomon the Salamander who debuted in the ninth album in 1991 ended up starring in his own short-lived album series called "Solomon the Supersonic Salamander" in 1992. Solomon later appeared in the second live show ''Psalty's All New Praise Party! Two!'' when Psalty and a group of kids time travel to an ancient city.
114	* ShesAManInJapan: In the original American version of ''Psalty's Funtastic Praise Party'', Woofer the Praise Box is a male. In the Dutch version of the show, Woofer is a female but keeps the deep voice.
115	* StableTimeLoop: During a time travel plot in the seventh album, he meets himself as a child and helps inspire him a little to become the praise leader he is as an adult!
116	* StartMyOwn: In the BaseballEpisode (album number 8), two of the Kids Praise kids try out for a baseball team called The Bulldogs, but don't make the team. When they tell Psalty their woes, Psalty's answer is to start his own baseball team, called, of all things, The Psalters.
117	* {{Technobabble}}: The time machine in the seventh album inevitably brought this on, with Psalty talking about an "over-under-inside-out power drive" at one point.
118	* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: This being a musical album, numerous praise songs are cued this way: Arky Arky or the Wise Man and the Foolish Man when it begins to rain, or a prayer thanking God triggering The Butterfly Song are just a few examples.
119	* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: In the ninth album, Risky Rat manages to reach a volcano in Africa and hurl every copy of the stolen album in before Psalty and the kids can catch up to him and stop him. Subverted when they accidentally manage to record songs and experiences they went through while trying to catch Risky that provide the same kind of lessons that were on the album that Risky stole, providing a replacement for the stolen album!]]
120	* TheBarnum: Risky Rat is characterized as a ConMan, and even describes himself as one in his VillainSong. He fits this subtrope because in his first appearance, he was appealing to Charity Churchmouse's ambition to try to enslave her, with the implication that it's to make money off her singing.
121	* ThunderEqualsDownpour: In the second album, the kids get caught in the rain with next to no warning, with thunder immediately followed by rain. This cues the Arky Arky number.
122	* TimeMachine: Psalty managed to invent a Time Machine ''by accident'' in the seventh album. He'd ''wanted'' to invent a machine that stretches time, to give the kids the time they needed to perform weeks of research for a project that was due the following day. He showed his "Take Your Time Machine" to the kids without testing it first, which [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo led to]] AdventuresInTheBible.
123	* TimeSkip: Apparently at least a few years were between the second an third albums, given that Psalty both got married and had triplets who had become more than old enough to speak in the intervening time. The third album begins with the kids decorating a barn for a welcome back party for Psalty.
124	* TimeTravellersAreSpies: The seventh album involves two brief AdventuresInTheBible: one visit to King David while he was still a shepherd boy, and another to the dedication of Solomon's Temple. Both times, the kids are mistaken for enemy spies, either requiring Psalty to explain, or requiring them to time-travel ''out of there'' before being attacked!
125	* TrappedInThePast: In the seventh album, the time machine runs out of energy, threatening this outcome. [[spoiler: It's narrowly averted with a solar watch.]]
126	* UnderdogsNeverLose: Averted. Psalty's baseball team in the eighth album loses spectacularly in their first game, though after more practice they manage to win by a single run in a (much more believable) rematch.
127	* VillainSong: Most of the songs are praising God, a few have nothing to do with God or religion and are simply plot-related, and a couple are actually sung by the villain, Risky Rat.
128	* VisualPun: In ''Psalty's Singalongathon Maranatha Marathon Hallelujah Jubilee'', Psalty's wife trips on a bucket that was left on stage. The bucket's purpose: helping the kids carry a tune.
129	* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: Said word-for-word when a little girl named Hanna is checking out a machine Psalty invented that was supposed to stretch time. Turns out the machine travels through time instead; they find out after she pushes it.
130	* WhatTheHellHero: Harmony makes a pig of herself at the potluck in the sixth album, pushing the other kids aside while she does so and also telling a poor boy whose family couldn't afford to send him with any food [[KickTheDog that he couldn't come]] to the potluck. Psalty doesn't wait for her song to be over; he kicks off the second verse calling her out on her behavior, and the final chorus turns into a duet.
131	* WhoIsDriving: Psalty and the kids are on a plane, trying to find Risky Rat, and Charity Churchmouse tells them she's pinpointed the rat's exact location. After hearing where he is, Psalty realizes that Charity was the one flying the plane. But Charity assures him it's all right, since Blooper, Psalty's pet dog, took over.
132	-->'''Psalty''': My ''dog'' is flying the plane?!
133	-->'''Charity''': I'm a mouse, what's the difference?
134	* YouDirtyRat: Risky Rat is, you guessed it, an anthropomorphic rat, a self-described ConMan, and the series' go-to antagonist.
