"Colour of Leaves" - The Moonlights

Artist: The Moonlights

Song: "Colour of Leaves"

Album: The Moonlights

Description: I know.  What in the world am I doing posting a song titled "Colour of Leaves" in mid-March -- presumably it's all about fall colors, right?  Nope!  Well, maybe it is, but there are lyrics celebrating the sun, tiny bugs, moss, and, yes, SPRING!  As a video, this is pretty boring -- Moonlights Dean Jones and Rachel Loshak singing and occasionally making eye contact with the camera -- but as a song, Jones and Loshak make for some wonderful harmonies.

"Grand March from Aida" - Dog on Fleas

Artist: Dog on Fleas

Song: "Grand March from Aida"

Album: Buy One Get One Flea

Description: Further proof that simple ideas, even low-budget ones, well-executed can be delightful.  The "Backyard Dorkestra" rendition of Verdi's famous "Grand March" from his opera Aida is a silly goof, so why not have a parade of assorted stuffed animals -- including a certain kindie favorite -- represent it?  The kids'll be amused -- so was I.
