Hey hipster parents: If the recent glut of children’s comps have taught you anything, it’s that it is never too early to get your kids some indie cred. Here, Andrew makes an appearance as the magical Dr. Stringz on the Noggin Channel’s Jack’s Big Music Show, whipping violins and mandolins out of those deep, Bird pockets of his. String-da-da-ling-ding-ding string ding. (via P4K)

Amazing! when he first walked in and looked at the camera i was afraid that he was going to be an awkward/bad actor. but he was great.
this is my kids favorite show – last year they had Buddy Guy come on as “The King of Swing” and this year theyve had Jon Stewart and a video from the original Blues Clues guy that went punk with Steve Drozd of the Flaming Lips
i fucking love my life
that was simply amazing. i wish i was a kid again, getting to watch this kind of beautiful stuff happen all day long.
this song is actually really good and catchy. Anyone got an mp3?
amazing.
fuck guitar center- i want andrew bird to fix my shit, plzthx.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! oh god. i love him.
Back in the 90′s we didn’t get awesome indie singers on our kids shows. Hmmph. *shrugs shoulders*

nothing short of awesome
This past Friday Jon Stewart swung by Jack’s clubhouse, as well as a performance from Steve Burns (formerly of Blues Clues) backed by Stephen Drozd of the Flaming Lips.
Last week also had an appearance by The Trachtenberg Family Slide Show Players. You could say Jack’s is taking a page out of Pancake Mountain’s playbook.
next up, pancake mountain. although this is a little better than pancake mountain cos instead of kids we have fake furry creatures. now i’m gonna have string da ling ding ding in my head. andrew bird can sell me anything.
That was the best thing ever.
I’m also glad to see Bird was able to fit some of his patent-pending whistling into the song.
YouTube’s pulled the video – any one know where else to find it?
OH my god… Viacom… YOU MUST BE KIDDING

I’m not generally this retarded.

The video is there.
Is the tune available anywhere? we love it and my son has his own music player. i’d love to get it on there.
I heard this while cooking supper with my grandson, who is 3. We both stopped to go watch it. It was awesome, and more so because my grandson watched in total fascination until it was over. This guy is GREAT!
