KidVid Tournament 2008: Renee & Jeremy vs. They Might Be Giants
While yesterday's matchup was a live-action affair, the 2nd semifinal in KidVid 2008 is an all-animation competition. Renee & Jeremy offer "It's A Big World," a soft lullaby from their It's A Big World disk (review). They Might Be Giants counter with "The Seven Days of the Week (Never Go To Work)," a zippy anti-work/pro-trumpet practice tune from Here Come the 123s (review).
You know the rules by now. One vote per family -- one per family, folks! -- in the comments below, due by 9 PM tonight (Thursday). As always, vote nice, y'all.
Renee & Jeremy - "It's A Big World"
They Might Be Giants - "Seven Days of the Week (Never Go To Work)"

Another close call, but I have to go with Renee & Jeremy.

I really liked It's a Big World, pretty song and nice animation.....they sound like the soundtrack of the movie Juno.
I vote for Renee and Jeremy.

The Big Big World song was a nice lullaby song, but I liked the energy of the They Might Be Giants song just a bit more.

I vote for TMBG. I love them, love them.

(Daddy's note: my son has no interest in Renee & Jeremy at all, though I quite like this song and the whole album. I wonder if it is one of those kids records that appeals more to the parents than it does to the kids. Anyone else share this experience?)

I love them both and listen to them both almost daily but I think I have to give TMBG the edge against just about anybody you pick.
With that said, my son is quietly drifting off to sleep to the tunes of Renee & Jeremy as I type. So I do certainly owe them much gratitude!
But yeah, TMBG. By a hair.
