New Kidz Bop: 'Since U Been Gone' Video
The Kidz Bop version of "Float On" was a minor blog sensation a few months back. Ultra revealed the tracklist for the forthcoming Volume 8. It includes Franz, U2, and Green Day along with the usual (TRL) suspects.
I begged Sarah to let me post this first. It's the video for Kidz Bop's "Since U Been Gone." Click to watch (.mov).
Don't hate. You know you love it. Animal Collective and Flaming Lips fans will dig the costumes.

Do you think the kidz will sing the "i can DO your girlfriends" line from Rob Thomas's "Lonely no more"? if so, thats just all sorts of wrong.
Are these record execs deaf??

Dude, it's "Open up to me/Like you do your girlfriends."
Off topic, but still. Rob is talking about "doing" multiple women.

Ack... "isn't". My bad.

Worth it if just for the backing band of animals. But a question arises: Just where exactly is this video intended to be shown, and for whom?

Makes me wish I was a kid again.......worry about making silly videos of fav songs without worrying about how to pay the elec bill to power it all. That was so cute. Gotta admit- gives me ideas for entertainment for my kids........
Score = 0
Considering they run commercials for Kidz Bop late at night, I'm guessing there's a huge stoner audience for the stuff.
Anyhoo, that's some awesome shit.
Score = 0
When the zz-top/walrus drummer got his closeup my heart exploded with joy. Two other thoughts: when i saw the boy take off the lens cap (the beginning) i thought it was that Aiysha video; and 2, the cut-and-paste intro was quality.
Score = 0
i laughed so hard i choked.

Buzz had it right. The Asian kid rockin' out after the Tiger did its cheerleading jump was the best. He's a mini William Hung.
Score = 0
Glad I'm not the only person that loved the Asian kid - by the way, he's making his "o-face" at 2:37. it's fantastic.

Anybody else notice the fat kid who resembles Dracula near the end?

That was genius. These guys at Wormseye films are my new heroes. Looks like they've done videos for Stellastar* and Jill Sobule. Not that this means anything. Their movie is pretty funny http://www.wormseyefilms.com/quicktimes/magic_hour_exc.mov

I want Gator on bass in my band.

Damn, that I didn't realize at first that the little asian kid was a kid. I thought it was William Hung spazin out.

loves it! the screengrab reminds me in a weird way of thom yorke. and what's with the freaky zebra at the end? i'd say it's totally random, but really, what isn't in this video.

I've had the worst week. But, golly geee, that little video actually made me cry with its cuteness.

don't make Lil' Hung angry. You won't like it when he's angry...
Anybody know where the "Float On" video is?

after cracking up, and disturbing the rest of my office in the process, the animal suits got me to thinking: if this is popular with the kiddies, why haven't the Flaming Lips managed to tap the 5-8-year-old market yet? (the stoner market already overlaps the Lips and Kidz Bop, after all.)
Score = 0
Flaming Lips did tap that market: they were on the SPongebob soundtrack. I loved this. I have no idea what Kids Bop is or whatever, but like evryone else, had a blast.

Remember when all those kids got to dance around with the Arcade Fire for Pancake Mountain at the 9:30 club? "It's a school night and we're out past our bedtime(YEAAAH!!)" Get ready to puke.

What's wrong with that Arcade Fire/Pancake Mountain video? I think it's awesome they did that. Shit, if I had kids, I'd rather watch The Arcade Fire with them than Barney or The Wiggles.
I dig The Evens song about vowels. Seeing Ian MacKaye doing kiddie songs is hilarious.

Why is this video better than anything on Tv? I vote for more kidz bop videos.
Score = 0
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Damn, am I the only one who was thrown back into PBS/Disney Channel/Nickalodean nostalgia with that video? Watching that makes me wanna watch the daytime programming on those networks all over again ^_^
...then again maybe not ...guess the nostalgia worn off already.
