Holy shit! Did they do "Whip It"?
Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

whip it whip it good! ahh devo one of my favourite new wave bands..and tom am i in your list of awesome people?
That show is crazy. I've watched it many times just because I'm in awe of the things they do. They have the Aquabats make guest performances (which sound pretty similar to Devo), and they had the Ting Tings sing their happy birthday song:

When I turned 24 the other day, I listened to it about 5 times. Is it better than the real happy birthday song? Maybe so.

Dude! I would've never thought someone from way back would have such an influence on the things on TV I have become so familiar with today.
===
I've seen a few episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba when I babysat my little cousins.
My first impression was...."Da hell?"
Cause some of the songs are just so..."weird"
I mean...have you really ever listened to them?
"Party in my Tummy" - I suppose it's to encourage good appetite.
"Don't Bite Your Friends" D8> da hell? I never bit my friends.
"Noodles are fun fun fun" - yes....yes they are.
But that's because I believe it is heavily Japanese inspired.
In some episodes I've noticed things like 'Daruma-Dolls' and 'Gundam-like-Robots'.
When I was little, they used to have shows like that on "Kiku TV" a Japanese broadcasting station made just for Hawaii.
Had all the same kind of stuff, puppets, singing, dancing....
But they would sing stuff like..."cookies' and milk' or 'what did we learn in school today'.
But now that it's in english, I question the effect on kids.
But so far, my cousins show no real sign of 'disturbance'. I guess I'm the only one 'disturbed.'
---Where Yo Gabba Gabba was inspired from----
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsXBGB6n8HM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsXBGB 6n8HM</a> - similar no?
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVVvUSC5pv4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVVvUS C5pv4</a> - this one I remember.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PohiLtZodiY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PohiLt ZodiY</a> - oh god, I remember this, where's your head, where's your tummy...
You should like....make a Flash for your kid.
Something like those old Japanese kid's show.
Or maybe a spoof.
fuckin Rugrats man
The music isall like BAAAW BAAAWW
Here is an example of another Japanese puppet inspired music video.
Dude....remember 'Captain Underpants'?
well...back then they commissioned a Japanese artist to do a few music videos for the book series.
I still crack up when I watch it.
'Shaking Hands' - look for the gorilla

You could 'totally' do something like this.
Even with real puppets. You guys never did puppet shows before. It might be an interesting challenge!
Devo has also done music for games, like Interstate '82...
It's really cool when serious artist or professionals do good stuff for kids, not just the typical everyday crap...
For example, I look with different eyes that show, Lazy Town, after reading about his creator and the actor behind Sportacus, Magnus Schieving who also happens to be the atlet with the biggest common sense I've seen in my entire life...
I didn't know you had a kid Tom, my big congratulations to you :)
Yeah Mark Mothersbaugh kicks ass, he's one of my favorite musical producers, which goes hand in hand with Wes Anderson because he's one of my favorite fucking directors!
Time out for fun! dun dun dun dun~
