Speaking of Polliwogs...

Puppets!

While googling something relating to the Great Hunt, I came across this music video:

Apparently, "The Barenaked Ladies" did a kids album and this was one of the songs/videos (their "789" is also pretty funny). Fun group, fun video! (And yes, Wyoon-- "polliwog" -is- fun to say!)



Here's the extended version of the song

Barenaked Ladies is one of those groups I should pay more attention to: I've liked everything I've heard from them-- it's just that nothing ever leapt out and grabbed me. Sorta the same thing with They Might Be Giants, until "Birdhouse in the Soul" and "Istanbul" were released.

I've got Snacktime on my Amazon list now, and I'm checking out their albums.

Snacktime is great, really! But I'd say avoid "Barenaked Ladies are Me" and "Barenaked Ladies are Men." Not their better albums. "Stunt" is the best CD they released here in the US, followed by "Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits." That's actually a great one to start with.

Its too bad what's happened with the band though. Their lead singer Steven Page (also one of the bands founders) has left the band, and their sound is much the worse for it.

I'm a BNL fan, can you tell? Also a TMBG fan too. I guess you could say I like quirky bands.
