Artist: Marvy Monstone's Mysterious Fun Time Dream Band (aka Todd McHatton)
Song: "Fuzzy & Orange"
Album: Todd McHatton Presents Marvy Monstone's Mysterious Fun Time Dream Band
Description: I think I like this video because the production values are adequate, not spiffy -- its "let's try this after-effect!" attitude matches the revved up, synthesized song. Also, I love Finch's collar and necktie.

Artist: Aaron Nigel Smith
Song: "Man Gave Names"
Album: Welcome to the Village
Description: Yes, there are kids, presumably from Smith's "One World Chorus," who are monkeying around, helping Smith out on the song (see what I did there?). But the real reason to watch are the puppets who remind listeners of the guest artists Laurie Berkner, Lucky Diaz, and Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, but not in any legally infringing way.

Artist: Big Bang Boom
Song: "Make Me"
Album: Because I Said So
Description: In the time-honored tradition of videos featuring a band acting goofy and being entirely unrelated to the song, the North Carolina band goes to a children's museum and has fun. I really, really like the song, though. So that's why it's here.

Song: "Five Little Monkeys"
Album: Groovin' in the Garden
Description: There are monkeys (acted and animated), a bed, and a doctor, and a mama. You don't need much else.

Artist: The Harmonica Pocket
Song: "Diaperman"
Album: Apple Apple
Description: Who would have thought that a song called "Diaperman" would be so, erm, sweet? I'm pretty sure nobody (over the age of 6) would want a "Diaperman" puppet, but that might actually work once you see this.

Artist: Melissa Green
Song: "Sing Loud!"
Album: Sing Loud!
Description: There's not too much about the title track from Green's forthcoming (July 31) album or its video that would mark it as being "kids' music." Maybe the lyric, "stomp stomp stomp." Or, in the video, Green dancing, apropos of nothing really, between two large pieces of construction equipment. But it is a shiny, shimmery piece of kid-friendly pop with a chorus designed to lodge in the brains of all who hear. And the video is polished to match.
