The Shins Will Perform on "Yo Gabba Gabba!"

[Click to Enlarge]

The Shins will perform an original song for the Nick Jr. show Yo Gabba Gabba!, airing Friday May 23 at 11 a.m.

According to The Earth Times, "In the episode, titled 'Imagine,' The Shins perform 'It's OK, Try Again,' and the Gabba gang discovers how to use their imaginations, cheer up a friend and learn about the different muscles in the body."

That's bound to be educational; not to mention stoney.

It has to be, considering one of the show's creators, Christian Jacobs, goes by the alias "MC Bat Commander."

Here's the show's Wiki overview: "Yo Gabba Gabba! is hosted by a character named DJ Lance Rock, and five toy monsters: Brobee, Foofa, Muno, Plex, and Toodee. It features The MC Bat Commander and Ricky Fitness, two members of The Aquabats, and Adam Deibert (formerly of the Aquabats) as the voice of Muno the Cyclops.

The absurd style of humor used in the show is intended, like The Aquabats, to appeal to adults through its manic, frenzied approach to wholesome messages, while at the same time carrying all the content of the average Nick Jr. program for the whole family."

I don't know what it does for you, but that description makes me want to tune in.

And if you haven't already, check out the Yo Gabba Gabba! Web site. It's trippy, yet it's something kids would probably find fun.
