Share: "Do The Potty Dance" - Ralph's World

I'll admit to being a little conflicted by the latest song from Ralph's World. I previously hoped that "Do the Potty Dance" would be better than the Rice Krispies jingle Ralph did. I think this new song is a wee bit better, if only because it manages to avoid mention of Pull-Ups. But if your kids have passed that stage, this wouldn't be your Number One choice. I guess this would be the first song you don't want to play in the car for fear of triggering a Pavlovian response -- the whole point is getting them to wait to pee. Anyway, if you want to download the song (and the video) you can go here or you can go here if you want to avoid Huggies and the greater Kimberly-Clark empire altogether. Or if you have the urge, just watch below.

Video: "Robin on a Wire" - Caspar Babypants

Step 1 to putting together a nice kids music video: Have a nephew. (Or niece, I suppose, if a nephew is unavailable.) Step 2: Have that nephew become a teacher. Step 3: Have that nephew assign your album as an assignment for creating videos. Step 4: Profit! OK, there was probably no profit for Chris Ballew, his nephew Marty, or Marty's student Gabe Trainer, but this video for "Robin on a Wire" from Ballew's second Caspar Babypants album More Please!, is pretty sweet. Very much like a children's picture book. (Note: Your ability to follow Ballew's template may vary.) Caspar Babypants - "Robin on a Wire" [YouTube]

Video: "A Cow Says Moo" (Live) - Alastair Moock

I know you've heard a little bit about Alastair Moock and his first album for kids, A Cow Says Moo, and I think you'll probably hear more as the album gets into more and more hands, but for the moment I just wanted to post this video, which spotlights the benefits of getting a chorus of kids to sing along with you in an appealingly raggedly manner. Can't overdo it, of course, but used sparingly, like crushed red pepper, it adds flavor. Also: I'm hypnotized by the drummer's twirling of the drumstick in the right hand.

Video: "Super Friend Vacation" - Todd McHatton

This song from Todd McHatton is a couple years old, and I can't say that I'd probably listen to the song more than a couple times on its own. But the video for "Super Friend Vacation" puts a dorky grin on my face every time. McHatton's note on the very low-budget video -- "We had to give up on the editing process about half-way into it and just let these two knuckleheads do their thing" -- is spot-on. (PS -- download the song here.)
