My 5-year old has known for quite a while–long before mainstream media caught onto it–that the children’s TV show, Yo Gabba Gabba, has the best musical guests. Among them: Solange Knowles (Rosa’s favorite singer), Mos Def, Biz Markie and of course The Roots, one of dad’s favorite bands.  Here’s The Roots doing “Lovely, Love My Family” with the Yo Gabba Gabba characters. ( That’s in the video above).

You know you enjoyed that.

BTW, recently Rosa was on a play date–that’s what they call kids hanging out nowadays. The host parent mentioned that the family had recently moved from Philadelphia. To which Rosa replied: “The Roots are from Philadelphia.” Kids say the darndest things–Sean Jacobs
