Consider these gifts for your registry and you will have one happy baby!”
The Flaming Lips have announced that the will be appearing on the November 5 show of Yo Gabba Gabba! The band will perform an altered version of its song “I Can Be A Frog” from its recent album Embryonic. The song features lyrics rewritten by the Yo Gabba Gabba! staff, which is a song that probably could have been on the show in its prior form as well. The song, which originally features the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s front woman Karen O providing sound effects for each animal that is mentioned, will feature a new set of animals and of course lots of coustumes.
The band is depicted playing the song with an array of silly clothing, including two top hats on front man Wayne Coyne’s head, and various animals prancing around in the background.
Guests for the rest of the new season (#3) will be:
Fred Armisen, Erykah Badu, Band of Horses, Blitzen Trapper, Chairlift, Rob Dyrdek, The Faint, Flaming Lips, The Killers, Solange Knowles, Mix Master Mike, Angela Kinsey, The Sounds, Taking Back Sunday, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Charlyne Yi and John Francis Daley, Samm Levine and Martin Starr from “Freaks and Greeks.
Here’s a snippet of the band’s upcoming appearance on the show, and the official video for the song.

Children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba, a group that often brings indie rockers or other musicians on their show to perform and participate in various fun activities for kids, has hit the road recently. While the core group of odd animals, plants, and whatever else those characters happen to be are along for the ride, depending on the city and who’s around they’ve had some bands stop by their shows as well.
Mostly recently, Broken Social Scene stopped by to show the crowd how to do some crazy dance moves:
Check out when Snoop showed up at the LA show to show the kids how to do the same dance:

“Do Fun Stuff” is a new album full of various kids’ music artists doing what they do best: entertaining kids. The album was grown from an idea by kids’ music blogger Ryan Marshall, who heads the blog Pacing the Panic Room.
Artists featured on the album include Rabbit!, Cracker Jackson, Scampi, Davey Rocker, and more. Not only does this great new kids’ CD feature great bands, but the album’s proceeds benefit children suffering from Smith Magenis Syndrome, a disease that causes mild to moderate mental retardation in children.
Do Fun Stuff is available now on iTunes, and is currently one of the top 10 kids music albums.
If you’re curious as to the songs on the album, you can go www.dofunstuff.net to stream Do Fun Stuff in its entirety. You can also make a donation straight to Marshall’s cause here.

Every parent dreams of seeing their kids achieve something great, and oftentimes that means standing up on stage, rocking out for hundreds of people. Many parents get their kids involved in playing music while they’re young, which would explain why so many music schools have been popping up around the country. While it’s amazing to see a young child up there singing and dancing, what about a kid who just shreds the guitar to pieces? Here are some great videos of kids who can shred, and will probably melt faces in the years to come.
Before Stevie Wonder was ripping it on the clavichord with “Superstition,” he was just a kid, playing songs for Motown CEO/producer Barry Gordy, with dreams of making it big despite his lack of sight.
Born Stevland Hardaway Judkins, Wonder was found by Gerald White of the band The Miracles, who pestered his brother Ronnie to check out this amazing kid. He had heard Wonder at a friend’s house and finally got Ronnie to see the talented boy perform. Reportedly, Ronnie was so impressed he took Stevland to Gordy who dubbed the boy Little Stevie Wonder because he was “the eighth wonder of the world,” and signed him at age 11.
Wonder would go on to record several albums under the name, until the mid-1960’s when he’d drop the “Little.” Beforehand, he had a few hits, most notably “Fingertips (Pt. 2),“ which featured Marvin Gaye playing drums.
Here are some videos/songs from that time in Stevie’s life:
