Between the Lions - Dance in Smarty Pants

Q is a huge fan of Between the Lions. It's a shame that it is only on once a week (at least around here). Thank goodness for the DVR. Anyway, I heard Quinn singing (her version) of this song this morning. I checked YouTube for it and found it. Once your kid learns to dance in smarty pants, they will soon be dancing in smarty socks and smarty shirts.

Hot Dog!

The closing theme to Disney's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a catchy little ditty. In case you thought the voices sounded familiar, but never took the time to figure it out, the singers are They Might Be Giants. TMBG are one of my all-time favorite bands, so it brings me joy (and creeps me out a little) that they are singing this song. Oh, and BTW, they sing the opening song too.

MahNah-MahNah

When I was in high-school my friend Amber and I had this MahNah-MahNah record. A 45. It wasn't a Muppets version, it was possibly the original version. We began treating The Great MahNahMahNah at though it were a deity. It was a Big Deal. I had no idea that other people in the world had ever heard the song. Lo and behold EVERYONE has heard it.

The Monster in the Mirror

Quinn has this Sesame Street song on a CD. One day we searched each of the songs from the album to see if they could be found at YouTube and I think almost every single one was there. I particularly liked this one because of the celebrities in it. There is a non-celeb version as well, but I find this one more enjoyable.

Bask in the joy of lovable furry old Grover.

What happens when you mix a cockatoo and the Backstreet Boys?

This video. My dad sent it to me today. I haven't shown it to Quinn yet, but she will undoubtedly say, "birdie dancing" and possibly "birdie big hair*."

If you click the play button on this one, just be aware that I am not to be held responsible for any body rocking-related injuries or the mental anguish of having this song stuck in your head.




*"Big Hair" was also Quinn's description of the recent picture of Amy Winehouse on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.
