We're gonna turn it on.
We're gonna bring you the power
We're gonna light up the dark of night like the brightest day in a whole new way
We're gonna turn it on we're gonna bring you the power
It's coming down the lines, strong as they can be

The Electric Company!
The Electric Company is my new/old favorite show. Since I am a full time nanny for a little little of 9mos. I have begun exploring the realm of children's entertainment. As you can imagine 90% of the children's music out there is deranged and saccharine sweet soaked with lithium. Poor kids.
I haven't kept up with the joneses to be quite honest, so for all I know things might even be improving in this field. But I never get tired of Burl Ives singing about taking a turkey to a sawmill or Danny Kaye breakin' it down with some tots for Thumbelina. But there are some really great contemporary television shows like Yo Gabba Gabba that features Biz Markie beat boxing, and hosts musical guests like Cornelius (a very cool Japanese DJ who, funny enough, samples The Electric Company on one of his tracks.) Alright, I can't think of anything else.
Enjoy this clip!
