Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

I started doing what I call Sing, Sing a Song Saturday.  I'm going to post one song on Saturdays that the boys or I like. 

The song may be part of a movie, a kid's video or just a song we like. It may or may not include words. I'll try and include why we like it and/or the history of the song/singer.

I've been off and on listening to Peter, Bjorn and John.

Their videos are pretty different. They have vector people singing in the song Young Folks.


About Peter, Bjorn and John:

They released their first full album in 2002. It was a Swedish label. Most of their songs were recorded in Björn’s apartment.

They had a major label debut; first released in UK/Europe/Japan/Australia in 2006 and then in the USA and rest of the world in 2007.

Breakthrough for the band; the animated video for Young Folks really made a path for the band.

Facts
  • The band formed in 1999 and threw a 10 year anniversary US tour in November 2009. 
  • The band was nominated for a MTV Music Award in 2007. 
  • Once, the band played a Chinese restaurant and fell through the floor.
