All my friends are insects


At any given time of any given day there is a great chance that a song from the show Yo Gabba Gabba is running through my head. While my brain used to be a veritable radio for rock from any and all decades, my station is now tuned exclusively to songs for a toddler.
I must say, if there was ever a kid's show whose songs were to play on an endless loop in your head Yo Gabba Gabba would be the one for a music lover.
I mean, come on, a show created by a DJ and The Aquabats? What more could a young hip parent ask for? If you ever wanted to see Rivers Cuomo sing and dance in a giant flee costume, Yo Gabba Gabba is the show for you. Weezer's YGG song "All my friends are insects" reminded me how much I loved them and even made me consider buying their new album HURLEY.
But perhaps my all time favorite song from the show is from Brobee's birthday episode when The Ting Tings sing "Happy Birthday," coincidentally is the same song that plays (in this case performed by Altered Images) in "Sixteen Candles," one of my absolute favorite movies.
