I'm not sure that if you have kids whose antsiness mimics that of the protagonists in "Jump So High," the first video from Jeremy Plays Guitar's album Use Your Words (out this week) they'll actually be able to watch, so perhaps you should wait 'til they're ready. (Perhaps you can even enter Jeremy Zmuda's contest and have Zmuda write a catchy tune about that very problem.)

Video: "Me and My Brand New Haircut" (The Teaser) - Billy Kelly & Davy Jones
I'm pretty sure that I've never posted a teaser video here, a video for a video. But, then again, I've never had the opportunity to post a teaser video featuring Billy Kelly and Davy Jones for their awesome duet "Me and My Brand New Haircut" from Kelly's Is This Some Kind of Joke? disk. Combine found footage, lollipops, and sandwiches in a can, it's the best teaser video you'll see all day. Maybe all week. All year, even.
[Update: Watch the whole thing here.]

Video: "Moon Moon Moon" - The Laurie Berkner Band
This Laurie Berkner song -- "Moon Moon Moon" -- has always been one of my favorites of hers -- I sing it quite a bit with Little Boy Blue. (But I don't believe in lemon pies and don't get that far.) The video (which I first saw on the We Are the Laurie Berkner Band DVD released many moon moon moons ago) is nothing special but does feature hand motions that would work really well with preschoolers.

Listen To This: "Vagabond Worms" - Kindiependent
Attention rest of the country, Seattle's Kindiependent collective has just raised the bar again. I'd heard that Caspar Babypants, Recess Monkey, and the Harmonica Pocket jammed one recent Sunday. The result - "Vagabond Worms" - is even better than I anticipated. Update: Download the track at the Kindiependent website!

Monday Morning Smile: "White Knuckles" - OK Go
I can't think of another band whose music I merely enjoy whose videos I consume so eagerly. While it's not quite as brilliant as their video for "This Too Shall Pass", this video for "White Knuckles" is fun with animals and safe for the kiddos. What's that, Lassie? You say you want to choreograph Timmy's next music video?

Video: "Be Nice To Animals" - Salteens (from Yo Gabba Gabba!)
This video from Salteens, with animation for Yo Gabba Gabba! is so cute it makes me want to pinch its cheeks and say, "aaaaawwww, you're so cute! Yes, you are!" Maybe it wasn't quite the Salteens song fans wanted on the first YGG compilation, but the video is ten tons of awesome. (And if you think it starts out too cute, just give it a little time -- it finds a nice balance.)
