Sask-Produced Song Named Finalist in International Songwriting Competition
March 25, 2019
A Saskatchewan-produced children’s song called “Drop Your Phone” composed by Paul Runalls and Chris Atkinson (lyricist) has been named as a finalist in this year’s prestigious International Songwriting Competition (www.songwritingcompetition.com). With almost 19,000 entrants, approximately 2% of all entrants were selected to be finalists within all songwriting genres. The crazy and playful tune is sung by Cam Zoller (Gino the Giraffe) and encourages people to put down their phones and become more in tune with their environment and people around them.
The songwriting team of Runalls and Atkinson have previously reached the finalist stage on two other occasions with their songs, "Wish Wish I Had a Fish" and "Bath Time". They are hopeful that their third song is the lucky one. In addition to their song being judged by a panel of music industry experts, their song is included in the People’s Voice online voting contest. As the name implies, the finalist song that receives the most votes is crowned the People’s Voice winner – You can listen to their song (and vote for them too) at: https://songwritingcompetition.com/peoplesvoice~category-5 - (4th song down on list)

Taking Tyme CD Release
December 21, 2015
Paul Runalls and Chris Atkinson have released their second Ty the T-REX children's music album called Taking Tyme. As a follow-up to their very successful debut album, which included 2 songs recognized as finalists in the prestigious International Song Competition, their new album features performances by many great Saskatchewan musicians and singers including Glenn Ens, Andrew Walls as Ty and Rudy, Cam Zoller as Mo, Gent Laird, Sheldon Corbett, Ned Ramsay, Sherry Sansom as Steffy, Mark Bergen, Don Griffith, Sheila Churchman Vaadeland, Corey Hildebrand, Kevin Marsh, Corissa Ford Smith and Paul's grand niece Gillian!
Ty the T-REX music employs many different musical genres (blues, disco, rock, country, and even zydeco) that colourful dinosaur cartoon characters sing. This unique Saskatchewan animation project had four songs from their first album made into music cartoons and their plans are to launch a crowdfunding campaign to hire a young up and coming Saskatchewan animator to create a new music cartoon for one of their new songs from their new album.
Taking Tyme is a collection of 10 songs that convey clean healthy messages for young children (and their parents). The title track suggests to children one should take the time to not only see and hear the wonderful and amazing things around them, but to also take time for their friends. From the importance of having the courage to encourage others, to recycling properly, the themes of Ty the T-REX songs are clear and important. Runalls and Atkinson have been in education for over 30 years and their passion for clean healthy messages in their music is paramount.

Saskatchewan Bath Time Song in Japan
December 20, 2015
Bath Time, a children's song written by Paul Runalls (music) and Chris Atkinson (lyrics), has been discovered by Tokyo FM. The song appears on their charts with the likes of Rhianna, Kanye, McCartney, Sly and James Brown. The song was a finalist in the 2011 International Songwriting Competition. The song is performed by Andy Walls (vocals) as Ty the T-Rex, Brent Longstaff (tuba) of the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra, Sheldon Corbett (sax and piano), Glenn Ens (drums) and Paul Runalls (guitar). Runalls and Atkinson are baffled by the inclusion of their song with such lofty company and can only assume that the DJ simply loves taking a bath!
