You remember watching Sesame Street and singing "C is for cookies" (that's my jam!). Or remember that purple dinosaur....well i'd like to forget. Things have changed since then those simple ditties with Little Tykes xylophone beats (flashback!) made our weekday mornings colourful. Last night I was watching Treehouse television and was intrigued by this show called YO GABBA GABBA! If BET created a children's show it would be called Yo Gabba Gabba! The host of the show looks like Andre 3000 and he is accompanied by his furry alien buddies. It was starting to look like an actual Andre 3000 video. Appearances from indie groups fronted by 12 year old singers and Biz Markie make the show remarkably much more appealing to older people. Classic sleep time songs are no more somber, with production sounding like the Neptunes or Jazzy Pha, it's no more sleepy sleep for the crib but instead an admition to Club Bed! I have to say the only thing that annoyed me (surprisingly) was the fact that the resident cartoonist was not as creative as Mr. Dress Up or Art Attack. At 5 years im not sure you could recreate the work that Mr. Art Attack does, but you could appreciate how coool it was. I'm absolutely smitten by this show, (and yes) i will be watching it again!
