Do you know who this band is?

As this band has overtaken the preschool set and currently sits #2 on Billboard's Kids Album charts. Their short catchy little ditties have the ability to permeate one's brain and get kids off their feet, hip, hop & popping about.
The Fresh Beat Band seems to be everywhere:
on TV,
the radio,
nearly selling out a national tour.
Try as I might to hate them,
I
just
cannot.
I like the Fresh Beats!
There, it's out in the big old blogosphere.
I Like the Fresh Beat Band,
Actually I should elaborate on that point.

C'mon let loose, and do a banana split.

Nicki Minaj!
Katy Perry!
And the Queen of the Grammy 2012 Adele too!
Yup, I went there.
So how did you do?
They are a catchy little group, right? I bet you even enjoyed it a bit too.
Linking up with Yeah Write for my weekly punishment!
Love it! I didn't do so hot on the quiz, ha! As long as we're admitting things. I love Yo Gabba Gabba! And I don't even have a kid. There's definitely something wrong there...but oh well!
ReplyDeleteKatie there is something endearing about YGG.
DeleteI did terribly on the quiz - guess that says a lot about how I'm totally not keeping up with today's music!
ReplyDeleteI super-failed the quiz but I've never even heard of the Fresh Beat Band, which means I've passed the test on sequestering myself from pop culture. Can I get a little extra credit for that?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to MY WORLD Louise! Pop culture used to be "my thing" then I spawned and now it's mini-pop culture.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun. You just busted my I-think-I'm-a-cool-mom bubble, because I completely bombed the quiz. Probably best to start staring this ugly reality in the face. Erin
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have a secret fascination with the FBB as we listen to them all the time with our minis. You handled this post "just like a rock star:)"
ReplyDeleteHaha!! I'm not with you on this one, Jackie. I find the Fresh Beats a little irritating...but I do like the non-Fresh Beat music you have on here :)
ReplyDeleteNo offense
xo
How funny! I got most of them - not because of the Fresh Beats though, but because I have teenagers so I know all the pop songs!
ReplyDeleteI will now seeing Rolling in the Deep the rest of the day. Love Adele except when she won't get out of my head!
