Stefan Sheppard over at Zooglobble starts his annual KidVid Tournament today! This is a really fun way to check-out some great kids music videos from the past 12 months. This year Stefan is utilizing friends from around the kids music community to host the first few rounds of the tournament. You can visit Out With the Kids to see a match-up between four of the contenders in the Woodie Guthrie Region. However, I wanted to let you know who I voted for in today's match-ups since it appears that so far I've chosen the underdogs!
First up is Billy Kelly's The Sky Floats (and so do Boats). You'll remember that a previous Video Friday post was dedicated to Billy Kelly's funny, catchy, and oh-so-silly People Really Like Milk. So, it's no surprise that I chose to vote for this equally great video.
Next up is a Readeez video for Coal Train Railroad's Just the Juice Jack. I'm not normally a big fan of the Readeez videos which are like captioned music videos. There's nothing particularly wrong with Readeez videos, they are usually very simple and easy to follow, they just aren't generally my cup o' tea. I normally like the original videos best, but I do appreciate the fact the Readeez often makes videos for kids songs that don't have an official video, and I think that this is the case here. This is definitely a fun and jazzy song that makes me want to check out more from Coal Train Railroad. My favorite part has got to be the swirling cherries at the end.
If you want to follow the rest of the KidVid Tournament 2011, make sure to check-out Zooglobble for the dates and places of the rest of the match-ups. Have a great Friday everyone and I wish you a warm and dry first day of spring!
