The Canadian Rockers Barenaked Ladies Kid Around
Fun-loving alt-rockers Barenaked Ladies cater to pint-size fans with this animated Western video for their jangly new kids' song, “7 8 9.” Hungry number seven lumbers into the 5 Ladies saloon and scarfs down his fellow numeral nine, and the Canadian crooners fill in silly lines about what happens next: “Cats live with eight lives, the Chinese run out of luck.” And plenty of good things happen, too. Get more lighthearted kid-rock on the new Snacktime!, the band’s first album for children.
