When Gloria Estefan implored us to "Turn the Beat Around,"
she probably didn’t know that the position of the beat…
or beet…is of little consequence when planting the fine vegetable
-- as long as it's not upside down.
According to Leslie Goldman, a San Diego-
based activist passionate about healthy living
through the art of drawing closer to the Earth,
the beet is one of the easiest vegetables to grow.
He spreads the word about this concept through
Keep the Beet Media Star – a mascot of sorts that has drawn attention
from locals, diplomats and celebrities like
model Ashley Van Dyke and actor Ed Begley Jr.,
known for his dedication to the environment.
Keep the Beet and Goldman’s message is traveling
so widely that they earned a piece of cyberspace last year
on The Huffington Post, continually one of the
highest-ranked political websites on the Net.
The premise behind Keep the Beet is that growing
a beet gives people the confidence to grow a slew
of their own organic fruits, herbs and veggie varietals.
For those with a gray thumb, this could be a
long anticipated solution that years of therapy
couldn’t even cultivate.
“I’m playing with the story of an actual beet
that decided she was tired of just sitting
in the ground, watching the human race
become more and more fragmented,
and the beet, whose name is Keep the Beet,
decided to speak up,” said Goldman,
also known to friends as The Enchanted Gardener.

Gloria Estefan Turn The Beat Around Lyrics
Send "Turn The Beat Around"Ringtone to your Cell
Songwriters: Jackson, Gerald;Jackson Jr., Peter
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Blow horns you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action, so
Woah yeah
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Flute player play your flute 'cause
I know that you want to get your thing off
But you see I've made up my mind about it
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah woah
'Cause when the guitar player starts playing
With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me wanna move my body yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
