The Kidz Bop version of “Float On” was a minor blog sensation a few months back. Ultra revealed the tracklist for the forthcoming Volume 8. It includes Franz, U2, and Green Day along with the usual (TRL) suspects.
I begged Sarah to let me post this first. It’s the video for Kidz Bop’s “Since U Been Gone.” Click to watch (.mov).
Don’t hate. You know you love it. Animal Collective and Flaming Lips fans will dig the costumes.

that animated gator is cute
f
Well THAT was life changing!
HOLY COW! That’s one of the most joycore things I’ve ever seen in my life.
Those kids in the audience now know just what to do at a Hitler Youth rally.
walrus can really do it on the drums, no?
now i remember why i love music
WOW.
That was All Kinds Of Awesome.
That grrl is gonna have the best story to tell when she’s older.
Do you think the kidz will sing the “i can DO your girlfriends” line from Rob Thomas’s “Lonely no more”? if so, thats just all sorts of wrong.
Are these record execs deaf??
Dude, it’s “Open up to me/Like you do your girlfriends.”
Off topic, but still. Rob is talking about “doing” multiple women.
Ack… “isn’t”. My bad.
Worth it if just for the backing band of animals. But a question arises: Just where exactly is this video intended to be shown, and for whom?
*shudders to think of Rob doing anyone*
I hate these blasted Kids Bop craps
Whatever happened to rock and roll?
Where are the negroes?
10 year old sarah gives 35 year sarah permission to like this one.
That asian kid in the audience is so effing the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
i love this. so much. i really want to believe that there are little concerts like this with little kids jumping up and down.
this really made my day.
this reminds me of going to shows at the Hi-Tone in Memphis – but eh – I’m old.
that was fabulous!!
That is the greatest thing ever!
Makes me wish I was a kid again…….worry about making silly videos of fav songs without worrying about how to pay the elec bill to power it all. That was so cute. Gotta admit- gives me ideas for entertainment for my kids……..
Considering they run commercials for Kidz Bop late at night, I’m guessing there’s a huge stoner audience for the stuff.
Anyhoo, that’s some awesome shit.
When the zz-top/walrus drummer got his closeup my heart exploded with joy. Two other thoughts: when i saw the boy take off the lens cap (the beginning) i thought it was that Aiysha video; and 2, the cut-and-paste intro was quality.
i laughed so hard i choked.
Buzz had it right. The Asian kid rockin’ out after the Tiger did its cheerleading jump was the best. He’s a mini William Hung.
Glad I’m not the only person that loved the Asian kid – by the way, he’s making his “o-face” at 2:37. it’s fantastic.
Anybody else notice the fat kid who resembles Dracula near the end?
Blah! I thought that screengrab was Batboy for a second.
I would be so happy if all videos were exactly like this.
–Those kids in the audience now know just what to do at a Hitler Youth rally.–
Exactly what I was thinking.
Now that’s a lot of furries!
That was genius. These guys at Wormseye films are my new heroes. Looks like they’ve done videos for Stellastar* and Jill Sobule. Not that this means anything. Their movie is pretty funny http://www.wormseyefilms.com/quicktimes/magic_hour_exc.mov
Speechless.
For the first time in years… I have reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Thank you.
That chick is bangin’
i’d love to be able to say that i was once a drumming walrus in a music video.
i’d love to see them do a cover of liz phair’s "blowjob queen"…
so I actually really enjoyed the video…
that video was 10 times better then that Crap video “Candy Shop” 50-Cent did…
This has reached new levels of awesomeness.
Quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve ever…wait, this just in…
YES. That is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
I want Gator on bass in my band.
Damn, that I didn’t realize at first that the little asian kid was a kid. I thought it was William Hung spazin out.
loves it! the screengrab reminds me in a weird way of thom yorke. and what’s with the freaky zebra at the end? i’d say it’s totally random, but really, what isn’t in this video.
I’ve had the worst week. But, golly geee, that little video actually made me cry with its cuteness.
don’t make Lil’ Hung angry. You won’t like it when he’s angry…
Anybody know where the “Float On” video is?
after cracking up, and disturbing the rest of my office in the process, the animal suits got me to thinking: if this is popular with the kiddies, why haven’t the Flaming Lips managed to tap the 5-8-year-old market yet? (the stoner market already overlaps the Lips and Kidz Bop, after all.)
Flaming Lips did tap that market: they were on the SPongebob soundtrack. I loved this. I have no idea what Kids Bop is or whatever, but like evryone else, had a blast.
the link seems to be busted already. i pulled the .mov and put it on my server temporarily.

everyone should be able to watch and brighten their day!
link is dead.
I have it mirrored on my site.
Fluxblog
err, can’t link – http://www.fluxblog.org
Just heard from the director of the vid. Link removed by request of the label. :(
Allegedly it will be posted again soon. Good luck looking for mirrors.
thanks for the link rik.
love the dancing tiger.
the link rik posted works…for now…
Link’s gone bad. Anybody have an alternate? After reading all the comments i’ve got to see it.
totally effing awesome and the best. video. EVER.
and hey allan – you might wanna clean your hornrims, as there are definitely ‘negroe’ children in the crowd, including one boy that gets a cameo shot.
recognize, fool!
Remember when all those kids got to dance around with the Arcade Fire for Pancake Mountain at the 9:30 club? “It’s a school night and we’re out past our bedtime(YEAAAH!!)” Get ready to puke.
http://www.pancakemountain.com/tv.html . That makes me so mad for reasons I cannot begin to explain.
Asian kid animated!
(sometimes highlighting text in this board is screwy, so you can just click on “stereogum” below)
The QT link is back up. ROCK
So F’ing good it’s ridiculous. Love all the wormseye stuff. That film on their site is amazing.
stereogum’s gettin’ a bad habit of biting from other blogs and not giving credit. that’s sloppy business. and fluxblog is kinda big enough to have been seen by some of your readers, dontcha think?
Hey Ano, you’ve got it backwards.
Matty fluxblog got the video link from stereogum (director leaked it to me).
I hate to be all “I posted it first!” but well, I did.
that was hilarious, perfect screen grab of that asian kid.
i think i saw one black kid.
YAY FOR DIVERSITY!
What’s wrong with that Arcade Fire/Pancake Mountain video? I think it’s awesome they did that. Shit, if I had kids, I’d rather watch The Arcade Fire with them than Barney or The Wiggles.
I dig The Evens song about vowels. Seeing Ian MacKaye doing kiddie songs is hilarious.
Why is this video better than anything on Tv? I vote for more kidz bop videos.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Damn, am I the only one who was thrown back into PBS/Disney Channel/Nickalodean nostalgia with that video? Watching that makes me wanna watch the daytime programming on those networks all over again ^_^
…then again maybe not …guess the nostalgia worn off already.
This is still my favorite post in the history of stereogum.
Ok no affence but retarded its like kelly simgs it then BOOM SINCE YOU BEEN GONE I CANNOT BREATHE FOR THE FIRST TIME IM SO MOVIN ON YEA YEA…… I mean like 16 year old girl

I imagine the above commenter is the type of person that can’t help but snicker at his own jokes.
Are you sure 51438 about this?!?
