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.

I knew I was in trouble when I asked my son Liam, who is actually IN the tricycle video, which one he’d vote for and he shouted, “PIECES OF EIGHT!” Fantastic video, Bogg & Salty – we’ve had so much fun watching it (over and over and over again)! You guys rock!!!

Pieces of Eight! My whole family loves the video and the song. Tricycle is cute, but only our 4 year old would want to listen to it gain.

All 4 of my little pirates LOVE Captain Bogg and Salty(and 2 of them are actually in the video!!!) so we have to support the Pollywog crew....PIECES OF EIGHT!!!!!!!!!

[Captain Bogg]

Frances England, thank ye kindly for your words of compliment AND for sharing your delightful story of what shall be known in years to come as "Liam's Mutiny". Yar har!

Truth be told, TRiCYCLE is a gale-force to be reckoned with and proudly do we drop anchor along side you. Tis a gift, to be sure.

Fair winds to all ye schooners of three-wheels!

[IHF]

I discovered Frances England through this whole video contest (and I'm thrilled I did -- rumor has it my daughter will be getting the CD in her Easter basket), Tricycle is a great song, but I've got to go with the crew of the Good Ship Pollywog. I love to watch my daughter pogo.

PIECES OF 8IGHT!

[Ben & Maddy]

[Penelope]

We love Pieces of 8ight! They are great live. If you have the chance to see them, do.

[Igor]

Well, if it were Woody Guthrie vs. Bogg&Salty I'd go with Woody. But Frances England is just too piratey a name to get my vote from the pirates. Pieces of 8ight!

[dawn]

The pirates are cute but my vote is for TRICYCLE!!!!!!!!

[Hieronymous Graz]

I love Captain Bog but I want to marry Frances England. What to do? I say...

Pieces of 8ight

Tricycle is a delight, but Pieces of 8ight wins this fight!
