Yo Gabba Gabba

This is a wonderful kids TV show!
It is created by people who I would guess is somewhere around my age and perhaps a handful of years younger; it is very hip and trendy and cool (and I mean that in the best possible way!).
DJ Lance Rock and his 5 little toys who come alive when he sprinkles a little bit of "yo gabba gabba glittery dust" do a lot of dancing and singing, all to very tolerable music even to adults. Lots of famous people have guest starred on the show; from Elijah Wood to Jack Black to the Ting-Tings and Weird Al and plenty more.
It's very educational. The kids will learn about eating their veggies and not pushing and helping each other and so on and so on; there's not a moment where there isn't something being told. It's never annoying though because it's done so well; although I must say the yellow robot is a little bit of a know-it-all.
Anyways! Here's my totally favourite moment; apparently the original banana-song is about skinheads or something (?) but the lyrics have been slightly re-written for the TV show. Enjoy!
