Barenaked Ladies on Kid Tune Tuesday...


I love it when Adult musicians make songs for kids.  It makes my heart all mushy to think of grown men sitting down and writing children's music after they've toured the country singing songs about heartache and women, and probably partied enough to put down a horse. 

The Barenaked Ladies are no exception.  While I wouldn't call them a hard core rock band, anyone remember One Week?  They are quite the quirky little band, and seem unafraid to spew a little humor at their own expense.

Not to mention, they're pretty witty.  Blatantly obvious on their take of the Alphabet song, Crazy ABC's which appears in their 2008 childrens music album, "Snacktime."

In this song, Ed Robertson offers a unique slant on the ABC's by singing that A is for Aisle, C is for Czar and P is for Pterodactyl.  It's a hoot!  Ah, those kooky Canadians...


MR B:  Like when I call the ladies...   
MISS P:  Not digging this one, since I don't get the jokes!

I enjoy the Barenaked Ladies - we saw them in Des Moines last summer and had a great night out.

Thanks for stopping by last night!

Hi Julie! Thanks for coming in. How fun to see them live! Are they as kooky as they appear in song?
