with video: Young local musicians Ariel, Zoey & Eli release video for anti-bullying song

"Hey Bully" was written for the trio by Jim Peterik, a longtime music pro who founded the bands Survivor (for which he co-wrote the massive 1982 hit "Eye of the Tiger") and, earlier, The Ides of March (for which he wrote the AOR staple "Vehicle"). The "Hey Bully" video was shot Aug. 11 at Ypsilanti High School and features dance/cheer athletes from Premiere Athletics Michigan.

Twins Ariel and Zoey Engelbert (now age 13) have been performing in public for several years now, most recently also joined by younger brother Eli (11). The trio star in the syndicated kids' show "Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too," a variety program that airs nationallly at 4:30 p.m. weekdays on TheCoolTV.

Here's the new video:

Audio of the song is available as a download from iTunes and CDBaby.
