KidVid Tournament 2007 Final: "Pieces of 8ight" vs. "Tricycle"

Well, we're down to the final contest of KidVid Tournament 2007: "Pieces of 8ight" from Captain Bogg & Salty up against "Tricycle" from Frances England.

I'm really looking forward how these two fun (but completely different) videos do when pitted against one another.

Now, I'm expecting more than 100 comments below based on the response these videos generated previously. One of those lucky voters will get their choice of the CD from which these songs are drawn, courtesy of the artists themselves. (Thanks, artists themselves!) The randomly-selected voter will get to choose, and you're not restricted to the band you voted for -- perhaps you're a huge Captain Bogg & Salty fan and want to see what all the Frances England fuss is about.

Vote in the comments below. Rules: Video with most votes wins. One vote per e-mail address, please. Votes due by Tuesday 11 PM-ish East Coast time.

And remember, this contest is for entertainment purposes only. Please -- no wagering.

"Pieces of 8ight" - Captain Bogg & Salty

This video, directed by Vince Malone, is from the band's fund second album, Pegleg Tango. It's got a sly sense of humor ("Go Bobcats.") and captures the band's energy and sense of play.

"Tricycle" - Frances England

This video is for a song off of England's fabulous debut CD, Fascinating Creatures. The video's director, Jane Holland, says that they "shot and produced the simple little video from a child's eye view." It's simple, but the approach fits the song quite well.

Pirates are trendy. Tricycles are the essence of childhood. Frances has my vote.

I'm for TRICYCLE!!!

Ar by Gar, sign me up for those "trendy" pirates (who historically have been around since about 13th century B.C....the golden age rising about the 1640's). I love a good trend... and a great video!

[GBK Gwyneth]

Tricycle!

[George]

Pieces of 8ight, no question.

Pieces of 8ight is such a great song and that pirate crew has been around before it was trendy. They have my vote!

[Dorey]

No contest... Tricycle is the winner.

[Jennifer]

Pieces of 8ight! The video is entertaining not sleep inducing.

I'm voting for the pirates. Better song, better video. Maybe not as cute, but most pirates aren't.

[Sarah King]

Pieces of 8.... I'm so happy to find out that after 34 years, I actually AM trendy!YAY PIRATES!

Tricycle is cute but Pieces of 8ight ROCKS!

[Mickey]

Scurvey's no fun, but a pirate vidoe is.

Pieces of 8ight!

[Dan Vhay]

"Tricycle" is nice, but everytime she sings the word "Tricycle", all I can hear is the Song "Bicycle" by Queen.Plus, pirates are cool, and pirates for kids are even cooler . . .

Pieces of 8ight rules the roost!
