YO GABBA GABBA


Yo Gabba Gabba is a brilliant children’s programme currently being aired on the Nickelodeon channel. Hosted by several members of ska-punk band The Aquabats, it is heavy on ska music and imagery. Just watch the hilarious version of the reggae classic “Banana”, performed by none other than The Aggrolites! Other brilliant features include a short animation with the message for children to be responsible and pick up their mess on the floor. Sung by Alex Desert from Hepcat, the song is a ska number titled “Pick it Up” (!). The animation features a little skinhead kid being lectured by a Rude Boy, complete with suit, pork pie hat and loafers. Wouldn’t the world have been much better if we all had grown up with programmes like this?

Verkar vara ett fantastiskt jobbigt program =) Tyvärr har youtube i vanlig ordning tagit ner några av klippen. Har du dem nån annanstans?

Some of the clips seem to have been removed due to copyright issues. I'll let you know if I find them anywhere else
