Jezebel
has a video clip from Nick Jr.'s
Yo Gabba Gabba. In
it, the not-terribly-bright host of a dance party is upset because no one is
dancing. Super Robot Martian Girl shows up and tells the dimwit that no one is
dancing because...there is no music. (Really.) So she saves the day at a dance
party by beaming in a band, 'Josie and the Pussycats' style, who play a song
called "Martian Girl," which is apparently a cover version of "Nice
& Wild's freestyle classic Diamond Girl." (I admit publicly that
I have never heard the original song, and I also admit that I am not
embarrassed to admit this.)
As with so many blog entries, the best stuff is in the
comments:
I may be a frigid childfree dyke, but this show makes me
want to have babies STAT!
Every time I see a Yo Gabba Gabba clip somewhere on the
internet I think to myself "must remember to watch this when high"
and "must remember to watch this when have kids". The former will
likely come up a few hundred times before the latter is an issue, but still...
So if we see another baby boom, especially among the stoner
population, we have DJ Lance and crew to thank. Enjoy
I've never seen Yo Gabba Gabba, but apparently it teaches kids about comic books and features musical interludes by Biz Markie. So I may have to give it a try, with or without the kids.
