This isn't a new Season 3 video from Yo Gabba Gabba -- it's actually from Season 1. And the song itself -- "I Found Love," done by Trembling Blue Stars -- is actually more than 40 years old. But it's newly available on YouTube, and it's so dreamy (with animation so lovely) I couldn't resist posting it.

Plus, a bonus video after the jump which, though it might seem odd at first, actually does tie to this first video.
Video: "Rock Paper Scissors" - Dean Jones
Your lesson for today, courtesy of Dean Jones, the title track from his excellent Rock Paper Scissors disk. (Bugs me, though, that only four of the six possible outcomes are shown on that blackboard.)

Video: "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (Live) - The Boogers
There is nothing complicated about this live rendition of "Itsy Bitsy Spider" from the Chicago-area band The Boogers.
Unless you count the 360-degree horizontal spin of the camera near the end. Could make you throw up if you watch this on IMAX, I suppose.
Ralph Covert describes this song as being about "existentialism" -- Crusty B (Paul, the lead singer and guitarist) prefers the phrase "de-termination and perserverance." Which I guess means the same thing, no?

Video: "This Too Shall Pass" - OK Go
What do you do if your last viral video was an incredibly simple (if well-thought-out) dance routine on treadmills. You go all super-complex. Rube-Goldberg-like, even. The internet exploded today because of this, and for darn good reason. (More behind-the-scenes stuff here.) This isn't a kids song (there's a low-grade curse word I completely missed until reading the lyrics), but I think kids are gonna go nuts for this. I kinda did, too, in my own little way. (I also love the way they comment on "Here We Go Again.")

Video: "Tap Dancer" - Molly Ledford (Lunch Money)
Oh, sure, you can go check out Molly Ledford: Songs, the new song blog from Lunch Money songwriter extraordinaire Molly Ledford. 'Cuz, yeah, there are lots of cool songs there. But my favorite unreleased track from Molly thus far isn't even on the blog. It's called "Tap Dancer" -- you can watch and listen to it below. Molly notes that it won't be on the upcoming Lunch Money disk Original Friend but that "it will be on something eventually."
I really dig the bluesy turn the bridge takes. And I think more kids songs should use the word "Arabesque." I should use the word "Arabesque."
