The Shins

[SomeHoboProductions]

That bassist is really milking the opportunity to be on a kids' show

[miaxmeme]

This is a great show for kids! one of the only good ones in a while

[rebel32degrees]

Diggin' the new video for Simple Song! Makes me come back and listen to all these old ones.

[coolidgejosiah]

anyone who says james mercer is a douche can go fuck themselves

[BrotherTheoretical]

I believe we have the Aquabats to thank here.

[Nigelxman]

Good God. What were they thinking?

[WIlliamMunnyOutlaw]

haha go shins

[VroLeLaundSo]

My kids will absolutely be watching TV!

[viperchris34]

@Lateralus03 @Noblesavage26 Yeah, also the shins totally did a song for the Spongebob movie. Making both awesome. So there hah.

[yoodledoodle14]

It sounds like DJ Lance said "Listening and Dancing to music is AWFUL!!!!!" at the end.

[BuriedinFish]

I'm glad to see that kids are learning about good music.

[cr8zyrose]

The thing is, this doesn't even sound very different from a typical Shins song.

[ElementOfficialTV]

Winning is so fun.

[PetriesLakeHouse]

My friends and I recently recorded a song called "Nylon Whale" and we would really love if you took the time to check it out! We don't sound much like The Shins, but you may still dig it! Thanks and God Bless!

[etamommy]

wow how do they write such great middle 8's? The Shins are amazing! Love these goofy kid songs by great bands-think (Jonathan Richman when he was still in his prime...I'm a little airplane was it?)

[alex167033]

The guy Who sings for the Aquabats made yo gabba gabba OF COURSE THERE GONNA HAVE SICK AS BANDS ON HERE!!!! hes got the hookups

[magua4]

if i had kids they would be watching yo gabba gabba

[cinavenom1]

@magua4 My son watches it every day. It is his favorite show.

[jacro12]

thats like the entire shins back catalogue summed up in one song

[thecakeistotallyalie]

Absolutely amazing. The lyrics are what really drew me in.

[jodilyn]

AHAHA This is bloody awesome! I love it!!!!

[beergoggles69]

This song taught me that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but it's okay cos you can try again.

[TheHouseOffice]

@beergoggles69 lol! Yeah. :D

[TotallyGeekage]

The main singer looks like Gordon Freeman from Half-Life O_o

[volcaniccolony]

My children are going to watch Yo Gabba Gabba

[JerCoolBeans]

#winning  #sometimes #losing #sometimes #it'sok

[alayduhh]

yo gaba gaba plays good shit. teach the next generation well!

[lLoveMyDucks]

i had no idea what went on on this show..

[CloseCCall]

When bands like The Shins are playing on television shows designed for toddlers, I suddenly feel a glimmer of hope for our next generations to immerge from the otherwise Jersey Shore, Justin Bieber, and Twilight dominated generation I live within.

[djShinser]

As a 15 year old girl, I am proud to say I love Yo Gabba Gabba.

[3pimpsta]

How yung hipsters started

[SchussFilms]

At least Yo Gabba Gabba exposes little kids to good music

[HeadFirstDown]

Now I want to have kids just so I can be a hipster mom.

[zaru1313]

LOL YGG is full of hipsters.

[dongroy]

This feels incredibly natural to me because of the cover of Chutes Too Narrow.

[ilykateomg]

the people that run this show must be hipsters.

[jbird5109]

I wish the shins came to my house every morning and woke me up. with this. damn. song.

[Lateralus03]

You guys should be thankful Yo Gabba Gabba is paving the way for a more well-cultured generation by raising them on great bands such as The Shins, The Killers, The Aquabats, Weezer, The Aggrolites, Chromeo, The Roots, etc. I love this show, I watch it with my niece all the time, and we both get equally excited about it coming on, and I'll even put it on Netflix to watch too. Beats the hell out of Spongebob, anyway.

[CakeS2k]

@Lateralus03 spongebob is still good show tho

[shagottaholla]

@Lateralus03 I know I wish the kids around me grew up on good bands and knew more about music and not just Lady Gaga. Maybe I'd actually enjoy going to college everyday.

[PoorDeadBat]

@Lateralus03 Its kind of funny that you said Spongebob... The Shins did a song for the Spongebob Squarepants movie soundtrack ^_^

[Noblesavage26]

@Lateralus03 I was completely on board with everything you said until you dissed Spongebob. That show is classic; leave that shit alone.

Also, James Mercer is so freaking awesome.

[chocolatemiification]

@Lateralus03 i totally agreed with you until you said that it beats spongebob. NOBODY disses my spongebob. even if you are a hipster. sorry, bro. but spongebob is the best show in the universe. and yes, im a 15 year old girl.

[Lateralus03]

@chocolatemiification Well that's just swell.

[spacediva]

@Lateralus03 SpongeBob is great Too, Both shows are in a league of kids+adults can love'em and get something fun out of each :)

[BAMA2009CHAMPIONS]

super homo

[RandomIsntRandom]

MOTHERFUCKER IT'S THE SHINS!

[ilollyjeck]

Does this mean The Shins just made Yo Gabba Gabba a decent show, or does this mean that The Shins is now a horrible band BECAUSE of Yo Gabba Gabba?

[wilsocn]

I want to live in a world where liberals are banned from purchasing glasses with dickish frames.

[RandomHispanicInc]

So maaaaaiiinsstrrreeeaaam.

[gdrugg2006]

@RandomHispanicInc

Stop being 13. The Shins are not that mainstream. And it doesn't even fucking matter.

[MegaBirts]

Damn its been months since I lost the game

[Fredthe99th]

[RandomIsntRandom]

@Fredthe99th Bitch, naww.

[yourfacegoddammit]

[spikeasaurusrex]

[NJpanther05]

[lauranvrr25]

i love that i get to introduce my son to my favorite band through his favorite show! :)

[NJpanther05]

[mrsalbinorhino]

@NJpanther05 on hiatus for the time being while james mercer concentrates on his new project, broken bells, with danger mouse

[Tyler106334122]

[TheJCHolocaust]

I'd love to see Scared of Chaka play on Yo Gabba Gabba!

[greendaykicksbut1231]

O my god The Shins.

[StasaChickenfoot]

I just exploded from adorableness.

[nayzany]

UMMM! I wasn't aware until just now that my favorite bands play on Yo Gabba Gabba. The Shins? Mates of State? The Ting Tings? of Montreal? Holy shit!?

[TheLittlegiantsfan]

Bringing kids good music! Good choice guys!

[Xenicus31]

xD they put a orange paper circle over the big red communist star on the drummer's hat. It's a russian cavalry unit hat.

[bbdskateboardingfan]

@Xenicus31 HAHAHA thats funny

[InuvikPhil]

Obama should start dressing like the first guy, for no reason

[marine8916]

hey woodstock is over

[therealisation]

i hate it when good bands get taken over by cutesy shallow childish "adults"

[llamalad612]

@therealisation oh yeah i totally hate it when yo gabba gabba forces the shins to play on their tv show.

[therealisation]

@llamalad612 i was talking about the majority of their fans

[wakmikmakh]

epic lyrics, they made me cry...

[chickenchopsocky]

This is sooo going to be on my playlist.

[bpunk100]

hahahahahahaha!

[brumtitsy]

2 people didnt think it was okay. They didnt try again.

[Pezmaster]

My niece loves Yo Gabba Gabba, but most of the show annoys the crap out of me. So if she wants to watch, I hit YouTube and put on some Super Music Friends Show and everyone's happy!

[Abbithaannjr]

man, they have the best bands on this show :)

[reganh90]

abq pride!

really love how yo gabba gabba takes mature celebrities and musicians and integrates them into a children's show. <3 definitely a breath of fresh air for adults who have to watch these shows.

[kendrastrange18]

@SATANSAMIGO Haha, yeah, they need Gorgoroth on here, then it would really be cool "listening and headbanging to music is AWESOMMMME"

[LovelyGamingCentre]

Dude Yo Gabba Gabba is genius, it introduces kids to good morales and great music.

[ant1ph0n]

get jim noir on yo gabba gabba! he's totally kid friendly.

[senorohnoes]

Watching The Shins on Yo Gabba Gabba! is possibly the most hipster thing I've ever done. This is wonderful.

[MastaChief345]

Fuck yeah The Shins are awesome!

[alexaa841]

before the shins came on, the music they played was MGMT<3

whom were also on yo gabba gabba...Art Is Every Where<3

[chunhaylee]

They need to have the Shins on a lot more often.

And the Ting Tings on a lot less often

[oralgasm]

@chunhaylee couldn't agree more

[heartnsoulmusic1]

Hey, sometimes you win,sometimes you lose,its ok! haha. I love the shins

[teawithoptimus]

little children do not understand how truly epic this is.

[zestytoaster]

1:38 the drummers face hahaha hes just like "...what the hell are we doing" hahaha

[kuhntpunt]

Really, what is with this show and amazing bands?!?! I LOVE THE SHINS!!!!!

[mhhmp]

I wish I had this show when I was a kid! I'm jelous of the awesome music on kids shows these days. Very cool

[EuclidianProposition]

Lightning Bolt should perform on this show.

[WickaPissa]

@EuclidianProposition haha, that'd just be ridiculous. but i love lightning bolt.

[JumbleCake]

good fun, happy kids.

[corncornrocks]

black guy ftw

[AnimeGamersPro]

Seriously, uhm. . .my life is complete.

[muffinlove23]

I think this show is more popular with 15-40 year old men than little kids. There is such good music on this show. It helped me find great bands.

I can now die happily.

[HeinousPomp]

is it just me, or does the bassist look like he has down syndrome?

[politicophobia]

@HeinousPomp It's just you.

[ollie24351]

IMMA CRY WHEN JUSTIN FREAKIN BIEBER IS ON YO GABBA GABBA!!!

[teajaytj]

oh awesome

[fattyJNL]

Oh mah gawsh. So much win! :D

[floortomflower]

Ahh, The Shins. Making sarcastic indie kids even at this young age. Yay James Mercer!

[sdmommanae]

Most favorite Yo Gabba Gabba song, ever!! Come on! You know you like it too. :) Great message and the Shins are AWESOME!

[KILLTHEROBOT]

I love this show for having good music and not Justin Bieber.

[weezel21]

i'm guessing they make this so cool, so that children and parents can watch it together. my nieces love this show. its like the muppet show of today. cause i remember the muppets had awesome musicians perform too, like Alice Cooper. John Denver, stevie wonder, Julie Andrews, elton john, Kris Kristofferson. etc.

[anici12]

:D :D XD Wiiiiii XD

[gisalex08]

This just makes me wanna love the show more.Not only is the show so funky as in awesome!!! but also they play my favorite bands!

[rhythmandbluesalibi]

The Shins seem well suited to children's tv ! ^.^

[Gergoth]

@rhythmandbluesalibi but good music is always suited for childrens TV

[nat4u235]

"Listening and dancing to music is AWESOMMMEE!"

I love that part! ^-^

[laurenque]

Love it!!.. The Shins playing in Yo Gabba gabba is just too much! :)
