Video: "Donut Brain Aliens" - Dirty Sock Funtime Band

I probably should lead with the newest video, but it's a video for a song called "Donut Brain Aliens." How could I not lead with it? It's from the Dirty Sock Funtime Band, and it's from their new show that starts tomorrow (Wednesday, March 10) on WQED in Pittsburgh. It features "educational adventures... aimed at youngsters ages 3 to 8." Adventures involving donut brain aliens, apparently. Dirty Sock Funtime Band - "Animal Song" [Vimeo]

More, less, well, weird stuff from the show after the jump.

Video: "A Song About Ferrets" - Karen Potje

This video for "A Song About Ferrets" from Karen Potje's 2008 jazz-folk disk (with a hint of country) Can't Help But Love You, Baby is a mix of Eric Herman's "The Elephant Song" and Rocknoceros' "Trying To Write a Song." That's not a bad pair of songs to be reminded of. Perhaps not quite in either song's league, but definitely amusing enough. Karen Potje - "A Song About Ferrets" [YouTube]

Video: "All My Friends Are Insects" (from Yo Gabba Gabba!) - Weezer

You know the deal -- if I can't embed a video here, I don't like to post it. Why post something with just a couple lines of text and a link? But I'm willing to make an exception if the video's pretty awesome, and the Yo Gabba Gabba! video for "All My Friends are Insects" as performed by Weezer, the creation of which we noted here a few months back, is pretty awesome. It was on the Nick YGG site last night, but was gone this morning, apparently because Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive. Oh, well, good for them -- go watch it. It misses the complete awesomeness of Steve Burns' "I Hog the Ground" video, but by just a hair. Also amusing: the raging discussion of how earthworms are not insects. I dunno. Doesn't bug me.

Video: "Is It Really Any Wonder?" - Renee and Jeremy

Is there another pair of voices in kids music who blend as sweetly as Renee and Jeremy? I submit to you the answer is no. This is one of the sweetest songs from C'mon, but if they sat around at home and sang the phone book, I'd listen. (Also, note: the last time they did this, Jeremy's hair was much shorter.)

Video: "I Found Love" (Yo Gabba Gabba) - Trembling Blue Stars

This isn't a new Season 3 video from Yo Gabba Gabba -- it's actually from Season 1. And the song itself -- "I Found Love," done by Trembling Blue Stars -- is actually more than 40 years old. But it's newly available on YouTube, and it's so dreamy (with animation so lovely) I couldn't resist posting it.
