JoJo’s Circus Theme Song

Step Inside the Ring

JoJo’s Circus was a groundbreaking claymation series for Playhouse Disney that combined physical education with vibrant storytelling. The series follows JoJo Tickle, a curious and energetic 6-year-old clown, as she attends the Little Big Top Circus School. Accompanied by her pet lion, Goliath, JoJo encourages young viewers to “get on their feet” and participate in the movement and learning throughout each episode.

The theme song, composed by Jim Latham with lyrics by Judy Rothman, serves as an invitation to movement. Performed by the artist BECKY, the song’s high-energy tempo and interactive cues (like clapping and jumping) were designed to bridge the gap between the screen and the viewer. It wasn’t just an introduction; it was a warm-up exercise that signaled the start of an imaginative journey into Circus Town, teaching valuable lessons about teamwork and social skills along the way.
