Feel Inside (and stuff like that)

I am sure we will be quoting this for years to come. Growing up in the 80's live aid was the best. NZ's version is so much better, cos' it's funny! If you buy the song you are supporting Cure Kids NZ, there are so many reasons to enjoy this video. Helpahelpahelpa the kids.

OK Go three primary colours

More Sesame Street links. Gillian Welch videos aren't quite as entertaining as this educational spandex endorsing clip.

Will.i.am sings What I am

Will.i.am and Sesame Street are not indie music for under twos but this song is soooo catchy.  I have also included the families version. It includes so many varieties of resilient families and it made me cry once; "we are persistent", so cute!

The Supremes - Baby Love

Time to sing along or sing to your little one people!

Lesson notes for older kids: you can explain that black and white TV came before colour TV and demonstrate appropriate dancing for young people in this video.

The Boy Least Likely To - part deux

Isn't it great how French makes you sound so clever. We love to love-hate the French and how superior they are/appear to be!

The Boy Least Likely To may not be the most twee band ever but they may come close. I love them and they were one of the most fun concerts I ever went to.

Here is Brak21's fan video for the song I'm Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon To Your Star. It is done with stop motion and is clever and funny. Well done Brak21.

Instrumental + Big Bubbles No Troubles.

Or in French, bulles de savon ge´antes. 


I wish I knew the name for this piece of music! Here is a beautiful video of Sylvain making big bubbles in Paris.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

I realised that I was no longer the cool one when it came to an old friend of mine when she said 'you know Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros'... I did not. I do know this song though! Much relief.

Here is Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros lovely song Home. The video is made by MK and enables a karaoke party. Tinydoodlez on you tube offers other fun sing-a-long times too!
