I'm pretty sure the Bible states that Barney is actually Satan. It's probably in Leviticus. I never got around to that book in my Saturday night Bible Study, so...yeah...Leviticus. Oh well, he's still a better babysitter than I am. At least the purple Beelzebub can keep my kid still for more than 30 seconds.
My son is obsessed with Barney. I can deal with most of the kids crap that's on TV. Thomas the Train? Fine. Sesame Street? Long live Ernie and his "roommate" Bert. I can even live with the 4 guys from Australia that wear brightly colored shirts and have a knack of getting songs jammed into adults' heads. Not only that, but their net worth is that of a 3rd world country. Ladies and gentlemen, The Wiggles!
So KidDoodle2 and I are watching The Wiggles one morning and he (my son) is pissed off. I mean Pissed. Off. Barney is nowhere to be seen. I tell him I needed a break from that overly animated, cherubic piece of purple felt and the brainwashed kids that follow him around like some sort of deity. His response?
"Watch Barney!"
As we're having this argument, this week's SSTIFY entry comes on the show. KidDoodle2 is mesmerized and, for 3 minutes and 34 seconds, he forgets about Barney. The following is not a Wiggles Original, but it should be recognizable....even for the youngins who read this blog.
These guys creep me the hell out. Especially the purple one. He's a narcoleptic on the show. Just falls asleep for no reason. That's his "thing". Really? REALLY? My God...this is what we're teaching our children. There is a female dancer in this video, however, that should be more prominent in the show from here on out (:47 in, on the left). That aside, I still can't get this damn song out of my head. Here it is:
Good luck to Laura and Lam this Sunday in New York! For everyone else, have a happy and safe Halloween everyone!

Birth Control, thy name is The Wiggles.
oh. my. God. there will be a lockout on that channel in my house.
Interesting. Purple wiggle has the EXACT same pair of purple overalls that I have when I'm getting my groove on.
I'm not sure what is more sad.... the fact that all of the wiggles started to wear little "Swiss Miss" outfits around 2:40, or the fact that I actually WATCHED it through that long. It is like a train wreck, I.cant.look.away.
KidDoodle 1 and I loved the video. We're still dancing. It's silly.
Ditto Morgan's comment.
This stuff is crap. They should just bring back all the good kids shows from when I was a little one (and NOT change them!). I mean, just look how I turned out.
Er...maybe not.
Some days I'm REALLY happy I don't have kids. Today is one of those days.
Nope. Won't press play on that one. I just got the theme song from Cars out of my head and would like to enjoy the quiet for a while.
Absolutely not pressing play. My baby cousin loved the Wiggles and made me watch them on many babysitting occasions. Not pressing play.
You suckered me in to watching the video for the hot female dancer at :47 and now I have that song stuck in my head. Well played, sir.
You don't like the..you know the song... "barney is a dinosaur from...." song? Thought i'd add to your distaste on songs that get stuck in your head. You're welcome.
I hope your kid missed this episode of Barney ... http://failblog.org/2009/09/29/pantomime-fail/
Cheers!
We used to eat/drink/breathe Wiggles in this house, but have fortunately outgrown them.
Thank goodness.
They replaced the yellow Wiggle :(
The Wiggles are mindless fun. I watched the video 187 times.
Leviticus is probably the book to blame. That's where all the rules are. Including why you should stone Kid Doodles if they disobey you.
