This was great when it was just a little girl making faces. And then all of a sudden it became sublime. Thanks.

This is so great! I must have watched it about ten times now, and I'm starting to sing along. The neighbours will probably have me committed in about an hour, but I don't care! Bi-do/Ba-bababababababa/Aaaa/ooo/Aaaa/oo

Nice! Awesome vid!

I came in here prepared to snark, but that was actually kind of awesome. Almost makes me not hate those little short people, what are they called, children.

I like how at the top of "related links" up pops "The Dildo Song." Related how?

On second thought I don't want to know.

Pretty neat...

Might be the only thing so far to make me reconsider not wanting kids, ever.

Way cuter and cooler than expected.

We must as a species beam this into the cosmos. Unless it came from there.

Fair warning to those reconsidering not having children: Children can't actually do this.

Isn't that Bjork's kid?
posted by ZenMasterThis at 4:04 PM on September 15, 2008

Okay. But they really, really need to cut the first 45 seconds. The first time through that's as far as I got before hitting back and coming here to post something along the lines of:

WTF? Why did you show me this? Do I now die in a week unless I post it somewhere else?

But then I saw people actually praising it and figured I must have missed something. And that it would be wrong to unleash my bile without actually watching the whole thing, so I went back and made myself watch the whole thing and it got pretty cool after a while.

But if I were less principled, or hadn't read the early comments, I never would have seen the good bits.

Totally awesome. At the beginning she's gnashing her gums and I can't quite believe that even your gums sounds small and cute on a little person, so turn the volume up because I can't get enough of this little mandible - and they have me - the feedback kicks in and the kid leans back for a double glower descending into beepy growl, cycling through a combo of the hell dog from Ghostbusters and Rubber Johnny before settling down to some tremendous craziness. Totally totally awesome.

I remember the first time i had a musical freakout as a child... it was before video editing became affordable. it might be on a cassette tape somewhere.

Naberius, I believe the IETF specifies a 60 second timeout for Meme Abandonment.

Oh, like I've got that much attention span to fuck around with...
posted by Naberius at 6:11 PM on September 15, 2008

Cool beans. Although I must agree with Naberius that 0:15 - 0:45 was pretty damn creepy.
posted by Rhaomi at 6:29 PM on September 15, 2008

I only liked the first 45 seconds.
posted by Joseph Gurl at 7:22 PM on September 15, 2008

Radiohead?

Aphex Twin?

I don't think so.

Cute! But the first thing I thought of was Pie Hole.

So, is this the time when I do like the did over at FARK and link to Rubber Johnny?

Fun. Key. Beat.

Whoa, Lazlo, one from the vaults... I was able to tap right back into the vague squeamish dismay I felt watching that AoN video on MTV... as a classical violin nerd at a school where music program funding was trimmed in favor of football.

If I had a child, and she was making noises like the ones that started that video, I think I would have to take her to a doctor.

And possibly an exorcist.

And maybe an audio synth repair specialist.

It was cute though.
