A. likes to compose his own songs and teach them to Ben. This composition is one of my favorites, titled "Snow is Slippery." Pay special attention to Ben's backup vocals, which, although I might be biased, are simply brilliant. Also, songs can only be sung in our house if you're walking around in circles.

SOOOOOOO cute.
(tho' I might be biased.)
Is it allowed to sing if you're wearing pants? just wondering.
First - this is brilliant. Snow IS slippery, and the message is thoroughly conveyed. Second - it has a cool, Captain Beefheartish wobbly relationship to key and meter. Quite advanced. Third - A. and Ben have a neat Indigo Girls thing going on with the vocals. Fourth - built in choreography. And like beastarzmom, I wondered about the lack of trousers, but then I realized, that's got to be the name of the band: Men Without Pants.
This was actually my second attempt at producing the video. The first was shot from farther away and involved bigger circles. I told A. to make smaller circles and did my best to shoot them from the waist up, but you know how difficult young pop stars can be. At least they're wearing underwear.
Good call, Gary. Their harmonies are heavily influenced by the Indigo Girls and the Barenaked Ladies.
I can't top Gary's comment so I'll just log in to show my heartfelt appreciation.
So glad to be able to see the *live* performance of "Snow is Slippery." Brillance in action. :)
I nearly peed my pants laughing because the boys are SO flippin cute! I LOVE this! :)
