My inner child wants to pull the hair of today’s children out of sheer jealousy of the amount of musical goodage they get to experience on television these days. If the musical guests on TV shows these days proves anything, it’s that you’re never too cool for school.
Usually
coming on after Dexter’s Laboratory,
Powerpuff Girls helped to block one of the best
hours of television a kid could want. I can actually
remember watching this wonderful bit of musical
goodness from the Apples in Stereo way past my
bedtime, and I’m sure this bit of music was a tiny
little seed that planted a part of my musical tastes
today.
Gracing
Jack’s Big Music Show and melting minds at a
relatively young age is none other than the big
music showman himself, Andrew Bird. There’s so much
for me to love about this clip, I don’t even know
where to start - kids are introduced to everything
quintessentially Andrew Bird from his whimsical
whistling to how he seems to magically pull
instruments out of his coat jacket. However, before
you get too excited, contrary to what’s advertised,
saying, "string-string-a-ding-ding" will not make
Andrew Bird magically appear. I tried. A lot.
