KidVid: I Hog (the Ground) - Steve Burns with Steven Drozd

[Edit: Copyright infringements everywhere... just go here to watch.

I know Mrs. Davis already posted this, but I've been waiting for somebody to get Steve Burns' and Steven Drozd's "I Hog (The Ground)" to YouTube, because, hey, this might be the kids' music song of the year, and it's only January.

So I don't care that I was time-crunched and didn't get around to posting this until tonight (like Amy, I searched for this daily), and this rocks.

Steve Burns: I Hog the Ground

The version below is even better than the version on the Jack's preview disk, because it includes the occasional pop-up comment from Jack. The only thing better than seeing kids jump around playing air guitar is having Jack pop-up and shout "Air guitar!" [Ed: It's worse because it's, er, been removed.]

The song sounds like a Dinosaur Jr. cut, and it'll send the parents into air guitar and (in my case) air drumming fits just like the kids.

Kinda funny that Burns spends all this time breaking free of kids television, and with this one cut, he's created a song that's an instant kids music classic.

And I will take this opportunity to say AGAIN how much we way dig(!) this song and video! we have watched it a million and one times. both kids love it and click "play again". I think it's taught the little one how to use the mouse.

Bloom where you're planted, Mr. Burns. It's your destiny. You were made for it!!!

I was washing dishes while my daughter was watching Noggin this morning...I heard the guitar and KNEW the guitar sounded like The Flaming Lips. I about died to see Steve Burns and Steven Drozd. My 19 month old was just doing a little jig....she loved it!

I tell ya, there's something primal about this song.

We missed you Steve. I have to say when I first saw this song on Jack's Big Music show,I couldn't believe my eyes!!

Any idea, if or when the song "I Hog The Ground" would ever be put out on a CD/MP3 download? My daughter (and I'm certain most little kids in America) really enjoys this song.
