mamagotchaLinc will sit still for his daily hair combing if we let him watch YouTube videos. We have a few saved on a favorites list, but sometimes we wander around and see what we can find.
Today we watched Wierd Al videos... a pretty cute WoW one for my all-time fave WA song, "Hardware Store" (there's another WoW one for Jonathan Coulton's "Code Monkey" that's pretty cute, too). "White and Nerdy" (with DONNY OSMOND ZOMG!!1!1) cracks me up every time.
And there was this oddly compelling dancing Spiderman.
I wonder what I'm doing to my kid, giving him daily doses of stuff like Pitagora Suiichi's "Ninja Dance" and Crazy Frog's "Popcorn"... but he doesn't move, the hair gets done, and it's just a few minutes each day.
Anyway... sometimes, as adorable as the Panda Sneeze and Funny Cat videos are, I can only listen to them so many times before getting that funny twitch in my eyelid. Big pluses if you can find something that includes a space shuttle or rockets, trains in general (but crossing gates are the Holy Grail), animals... and great music is always appreciated. Longer than 2 or 3 minutes is helpful, too.
So... do any of you have favorite videos on YouTube or Google Video or whatever that you think I ought to be polluting my little sprite's mind with? (Google vids are good 'cos I can sometimes pop 'em onto the Nano for long waits in line and such). Many thanks!
