Video: "Stuff" / "Me and My Ice Cream Cone" - Snacks

I mentioned Snacks a couple days ago in my big DVD review and had some kind words to say for their Snacks the DVD offering. The problem with doing a brief review of a DVD is that it's hard to give you a sense of the songs and visuals. Unless you go to YouTube. So, enjoy. It's lo-fi, but done well.

Video: "Black Hole in My Room" - Recess Monkey

I can't say that the video for "Black Hole in My Room" from Recess Monkey's The Final Funktier is all that specifically related to the song itself. It does feature, however, an over tooth-pasted drummer, fancy editing techniques, and a lovable Alf doll. So, on the whole, a big Daron Henry-provided thumbs up.

Video: "Welcome to Grammaropolis" - Doctor Noize

I know, Kids Place Live listeners are probably tired of this song, seeing as its been played there for months now, but for those who haven't heard this, it's an introductory song for Grammaropolis called "Welcome to Grammaropolis" (natch) and in addition to it being an amusing song it has an amusing video to match. (Unsurprising, considering it's a Doctor Noize joint, and Cory's pretty much the funniest guy in kids music, and that's saying something.) The song basically condenses American grammar into, like, 3 minutes. It's for people who like Schoolhouse Rock but couldn't be bothered with the whole half-hour it takes to play the Grammar Rock disk. (The lyrics can be found here should you need them.) For what it's worth, a full album covering the Grammaropolis concept -- which is actually the creation of Coert Voorhees -- is due out in 2011, but, really, why bother? Don't you and your kids know everything after watching this? Doctor Noize - "Welcome To Grammaropolis" [YouTube]

Monday Morning Smile: "Alphabet of Nations" - They Might Be Giants

Everybody's all World Cup this and USMNT that -- including me -- so I thought I'd make this particular Monday Morning Smile... well, not quite soccer/football related, but at least pretty global. How many 2010 World Cup squads are mentioned in this song? (Answer after the jump.) They Might Be Giants - "Alphabet of Nations" [YouTube]
