Artist: Roseline Bicep, Claudette Thegat
Song: "Ti zwazo (Little Bird)"
Album: Songs in the Shade of the Flamboyant Tree
Description: OK, it's little more than a minimally animated trailer for the latest Secret Mountain book/CD set. But if you and your kids don't have a grin on your face or bounce around a bit to this Haitian nursery rhyme, then you (or they) may be having a really bad day.

Artist: Hot Peas 'N Butter
Song: "Round the World"
Album: Hot Peas 'N Butter Volume 5 - Best of the Bowl
Description: I understand why the duo stands still for the entire song -- it's to make it easier to slide the gorgeous animation in and out on a puppet theatre-like stage. (It still looks odd to me. But I'm cranky like that.)

Artist: Billy Kelly
Song: "Oh My Dog"
Album: N/A
Description: A jazzy little ode to Kelly's ten-month-old Tibetan Terrier puppy, Bingley, the video makes me wonder what Kelly would have done had he had his heart stolen by you know, a sloth or cougar. You know, something harder to film. And rhyme.

Artist: The Okee Dokee Brothers
Song: "Campin' Tent"
Album: Can You Canoe?
Description: All I'm sayin' is that I'm not sure the stunt Joe pulls in this video makes me think he'd be a lousy camping partner or an awesome one.

Artist: Hullabaloo
Song: "Out Standing"
Album: Raise a Ruckus (to be released September 2012)
Description: Lead Hullabaloo-ster Steve Denyes shows that it's possible to have fun with a mere sprinkler in this video for the country-folk celebration of getting wet. (As a desert resident lacking a pool, I can relate.) I am worried about some of those instruments, though.

Artist: Laura Doherty
Song: "Wheels in the City"
Album: Wheels in the City
Description: Collage meets chant. The video has a very Shrinky-Dink feel to me. (A good thing.) Also a Sesame Street feel to me. (Also a good thing.)

Artist: The Okee Dokee Brothers
Song: "Haul Away Joe"
Album: Can You Canoe?
Description: A rousing modern rendition of a classic American tune. The song (though not the video) features Garth Hudson from The Band on accordion. You will be singing this all day.
