now the song will be stuck in my head and I will have to explain to people that just because this song is for 5 year olds, it doesnt only have to be for 5 year olds
ive had lots of messages about the true identity of the mysterious rapping creature. most seem to think its a flying squirrel. If so i apolagise about my lack of knowledge on puppet animal science! but one thing i do know is its one funky ass rapper whatever it is. ribbet ribbet!
1:50 is my fav part. im talkin bout the line saying "you'll lift your head above the water and breathe. that's what makes me love this song so much. it makes me so happy listening to it
@ThoorBroown Thats my point. They used to never make this crap, plus why is everyone replying like I said "Fuck this shit, BnL sucks", when I said I prefer the '90's stuff.
@Sterling1426 I don't actually agree with you about this stuff, but I do have to admit that I am a bit sad that the last CD with Steven Page was this one.
Great video! My son (he's 4!) saw your spot on TVOkids to this and when he saw this he did say "THOSE aren't the Barenaked Nadies!!" Very true...although the puppet resemblance to band members is squirrely uncanny!
This music video is AMAZING. The puppets are great and the song is catchy. VERY creative!! Noah Ginex ( the puppet manufacturer ) is so darn talented!
I'm so sad Mr. Page is quitting. He was my favourite "Lday". (BTW - Favourite is the Canadian spelling - that's where I'm from and BNL - no flame wars please)
What reggae part? The chord progression and percussion stayed the same pretty much the whole time. If you mean the part where a lower voice sings with a slight Jamaican/Cajun accent, that is not enough to change the style of music I think.
Having been a fan for years, I am pleased to announce that my daughter, aged 1 year and 8 days, is now also a huuuuuge BNL fan and bobs her head whenever I play your songs :) Can't wait to bring her to her first BNL concert!
"Dont read this cause it really works.u will get kissed in the nearest possible friday by the love of your life.tomorrow will be the best day of your life.however if u dont post this comment in at least 3 other videos u will die in within 2 days.now that uve started reading this dont stop.send this over to 5 other videos in between 143 minutes.when ur done press F6 and your crushes namewill appear on the screen in big letters."
Steven Page ( he doesn't sing much here) and Ed Robertson( the one who sings ribbit ribbit in 02:30 )is the leadsingers. The one that sings this is Jim Creeggan, he plays bass. :)
I feel a connection with Barenaked Ladies; they're my age from Toronto! I loved seeing their excellent Olympic performance here in Salt Lake City, and their later touring concert, too. I hope this CD that I got from my cousin via my sister will help my son keep in touch with his Canadian roots... but my husband doesn't think the band has an appropriate name for a children's album!
sure, it's not an appropriate name for children, but they have an appropriate sound for children. Their trademark style is perfect, and they weren't about to deny their many fans by changing their name just so they could do a children's album.
By the way, it's not a sugar glider, the pollywog is a tadpole.
