For four minutes of pure childlike joy, click this link!

My morning just got off to an unexpectedly awesome start. Yahoo had the above story featured on its home page, verifying my personal opinion that "Everything is better when puppets are involved. This is just a FACT. And this fact is especially factual when it comes to music." On this Sunday morning, the only thing I have to say to that quote is AMEN! (And that's a very reverent Amen, I promise.) The article goes on to include several music videos featuring puppets, including a couple new (fairly entertaining) ones I hadn't seen or heard about. (I can't, however, say that I recommend all of the older ones.)

But the music video that starts me singing and spinning in circles like a carefree kid hopped up on sugar is Weezer's video "Keep Fishin'." The article has this to say about the video: "Weezer's 'Keep Fishin'' is still perhaps the ultimate puppet video of all time, trumping all others, as it starred the entire cast of The Muppet Show." And trust me, the Muppets add a whole new level of happiness to this already upbeat song. The video was released a few years ago, but its affect on me hasn't lessened even a tiny bit. If you haven't seen it, watch it now! I promise it will keep you tapping your toes for the rest of the day. And if you have seen it, I know you won't be able to resist watching it again either.

Katherine, this one particularly goes out to you.
