It's more of a love song than a Father's Day song, but I bet not a few of you dads (or moms, for that matter) will find this Karen O slo-mo video apropos, don'tcha know. (Sorry, got carried away there.)
It's for "Sing To Me," the lead single from Walter Martin's We're All Young Together, and NPR just premiered the video, which features some dreamy imagery and a car that is very much vintage at this point.

Normally with a video subtitled "Jump, Run, Shake," you might think that it's one of those "active" songs encouraging everyone to be fit. But one listen to "November First (Jump, Run, Shake)," the first single off Eric Herman's forthcoming Party Animal CD, and you'll realize that maybe the kid just needs to take the edge off a wee bit. (The animations from Majed Maaroufi capture the sugar rush quite nicely, thanks.)

I don't typically post live or in-studio videos, but then again, Sengalese musical superstar (a description I endorse, because he and Youssou N'Dour are the only Sengalese musicians I could name without resorting to the internet) Massamba Diop doesn't typically appear in kids' music videos.
But Mister G has Diop appearing with him on his upcoming June release The Bossy E, and in the in-studio live version below. The new album has a literacy theme, so the song "Everything's Free at the Library," is a pretty good match, don't you think? As for the video, I just like watching how much fun the duo's having.

It's yet another video from Danny Weinkauf -- instead of the power-pop of "No School Today," it's a tender plea for logic and understanding in placing ice cream in its proper place in dining -- that is, part of every meal. Two of four food groups is good enough for me, too. "Ice Cream (Healthy Eating)," whose video is directed by David Cowles and Jeremy Galante, can be found on No School Today, Weinkauf's debut solo kids music record, out last week.

Bill Harley's ode to spinners of tales (and cookies), "A Walk Around the Block," from his album The Best Candy in the Whole World. The illustrations from Laura Dowling make for a nice mix of retro and fanciful, an appropriate accompaniment for Harley's gentle tune.

Look at Danny Weinkauf, putting all that Kickstarter cash to good use, recruiting eg design to do the second video from his brand new album No School Today (out today!). It's for "Marsupial," whose syncopated chorus nicely mimics the hopping motion of the kangaroos. Even if the educational value of the song will go over the kids' heads (depending on the kid), they'll sing along on the chorus. Not sure which marsupial that is shredding the guitar solo, though.
