My three year old nephew loves the song and listens intently to the words. Being used to video he watches the ipod cover art even though it doesn't move and has nothing to do with the song. Kids need something to look at i guess.

Support independent artists and buy the song via the link in Jonathon's blog. Support independent children's music and listen to XMKids Ch 116 who has the song in their rotation.

From his blog linked above Jonathan Couton wrote:
"I was asked to contribute a new song to this CD of kid's music called Many Hands, the proceeds of which benefit the Haitian People's Support Project. It's an amazing list of artists -- Dan Zanes, TMBG, frigging Pete Seeger -- so I was honored to be invited. I wrote a song called "The Princess Who Saved Herself" because my daughter is obsessed with princesses, so I am forced to think and talk about them a lot. None of them really kick ass as much as I hope my daughter kicks ass when she's all grown up, so I made up one that does (she ate a whole cake!). All recorded at home old school style, with a little assist from my sister in the comedic harpsichord bridge."
