15 thoughts on “Yo Gabba Gabba Turning Kids On To 80’s Beats”
Dude, my 8 year old watches this on YouTube with me a few days ago and says “dad, that sounds like it was made with Reason or Live!” So we broke out the 909 sounds in Live 7 and went to town. Kids love beats. The show even has a “beat of the day” how-to with Biz Markie. Word.
You’re going to have to post some videos of your 909/Lve 7 experiments with your kid.
You gotta love this Yo Gabba Gabba show – it looks like it was created by people who grew up with classic electronic music sounds.
It was created by the frontman from the ska band The Aquabats. Notice that Mark Mothersbaugh is the guest artist. It’s a trip seeing the lead singer of Devo drawing a monkey. I think my wife and I look forward to watching this show as much as our 3 1/2 yo daughter does.

yo gabba gabba is the GREATEST children’s show of all time!! Me and my 3 year old are watching it right now and she loves it just as much as I do. Biz Markie, Tony Hawk, Leslie and the Ly’s, the Aquabats, the Saltines and so many other great people have been on the show. While I will always be a loyal fan of Peewee’s Playhouse, Yo Gabba Gabba is right up there. I miss the 80’s, but Yo is a nice reminder of the simpler times of childhood before the internet and pokemon.
YGG rocks. My 2 year olds beat box!
MY LITTLE SISTER IS ONE AND WATCHES THAT IT WILL KEEP HER QUITE FOR EVER. WE WATCH IT ON FREE ON DEMAND MAYBE FIVE OR SIX TIMES A DAY. THE SHOW IS SOO STUPID BUT THE PEOPLE WHO CAME UP WITH IT GET A LOT OF MONEY. THAT BLACK GUY IN THE BEGINNING IS SUPER SCARY BUT MY SISTER LOVES HIM
How do I download the songs from the Saltines etc – I can’t find them anywhere on the net!!
PLEASE, I’M TRIYING TO GET THE SONG “I’M SO HAPPY” FROM THE SALTINES, BUT I’CAN’T FIND IT, AND MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER LOVES THAT SONG AND THE SHOW IS LIKE THE BEST THING DURING THE DAY FOR HER, SO PLEASE IF SOMEBODY CAN TELL ME HOW TO GET THAT SONG.
Anyone looking for gabba songs, for now until a CD is released, you can go to youtube, find the song, grab the URL and go to mediaconvert dot org.. it will convert to MP3.
I’m so Happy by The Saltines was my 18 month old daughters first tune that she sang over and over. She is two now and sings “I’m So Happy” just out of the blue. I would like to get this on CD and any other music they make. I would like to know more about them and see them many more times on the show. My little one just goes absolutely crazy when I play them off my DVR.
Hi Julie. I found their website. The spelling of the Saltines is actually THE SALTEENS. http://salteens.com/?p=44
There is a lot of great stuff on their website about them. hope this helps!
