KidVid: "Picnic in the Graveyard" - Uncle Rock

Hey, everyone, it's a kids' song about death!

Really.

Actually, this song is one of my favorites from Uncle Rock's Plays Well With Others album just because it's a disarming approach to the subject of death.

I'm not sure the "hey, lookie, it's your dead Aunt Petunia" part of the video will advance that concept with all but the most metaphorically advanced of kids (or with those who, well, believe in ghosts), but this is a great video to show how to put together a compelling video on what looks to be a relatively small budget.

Check out the glasses on the dad character -- I kept on expecting him to rip off the glasses and become Superman.

Or Uncle Rock.
