Artist: Bari Koral Family Band
Song: "Anna and the Cupcakes"
Album: Anna and the Cupcakes
Description: I'm sure there are plenty of kids who'll be amused by the song, which is a parable about gluten intolerance (or maybe about kids' fibbing -- could be either), but I'm posting it mostly because I love the animation style of director John Michael Bister.

Artist: Candy Band
Song: "Cookie Jar"
Album: High Five
Description: I would not have anticipated a video for a song about cookies to be so encouraging about fitness, but here you go, as the Detroit band re-energizes the oft-sleepy original about cookie theft.

Artist: Hullabaloo
Song: "High Roller"
Album: High Roller
Description: The title track from the Southern California duo's 2009 album gets repurposed into a "Plush My Ride" TV spoof. I'm actually impressed by Steve Denyes' stroller-modification skills. Check out the safety system.

Artist: The Relative Minors
Song: "Pet"
Album: Ostrich Plays the Bass
Description: A simple but fun song from the Canadian band's 2011 debut album is matched with a simple but fun video. It's the little things that amuse me -- the way singer Kiersten Robertshaw picks up a tambourine and starts playing it, the hip-shaking drummer, Matt Robertshaw's vocal turns straight at the camera. It is -- and I mean this as praise -- dorky and cute.

Song: "Valentine's Song"
Album: N/A
Description: Simple popsicle stick puppets made (and singing about, in multiple languages) love. Yes, I'm one month late with this... but I'm also eleven months early.

Artist: Peter Apel
Song: "Five Little Leprechauns"
Album: Fred's Back!
Description: A simple felt and flannel board-based video to accompany a simple St. Patrick's Day-themed song. I don't think preschoolers are required to wear green in order to watch this, but they probably will be anyway.

Artist: Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips
Song: "Lover Not a Fighter"
Album: Ultramagnetic Universal Love Revolution
Description: It's the details in what would otherwise be a fairly typical performance video featuring MCJ and Ava Flava that make this a notch above -- the Soul Train footage in the background, the disco ball, the '70s-era font. Plus, it's an undeniably groovy (and fun) track.
