Annika vs. the Doubleclicks

Annika has a new favorite band - The Doubleclicks.  They're a nerd-folk duo out of Portland.  Mom and Dad got their first taste when sisters Angela and Aubrey made their W00tstock debut this year (and killed it).  Of course we had to bring the fun home.  After a brief exposure to their latest album Chainmail and Cello, Annika declared it her favorite, prompting Dad to find the kids version of the songs (less swearing, less terrifying) from their kid's CD The Worst Superpower Ever.

Needless to say, the Doubleclicks are in DAILY rotation around the house these days.  Some of it has started to stick:

For the squares out there, this is "The Nerdy Birthday Song (kids version)", a birthday wish for the great Leonard Nimoy.  For those who don't speak 3-year-old all that well, the lyrics are below:

Today is Leonard's Birthday, and it is time to sing

and hope he does not disappear with the help of a magic ring.

He's a really hoopy frood and a super shiny nerd,

so let's not split the party as we all join in the words:

You're getting older

Live long and prosper

When it counts, may you roll high

Happy birthday to you, Leonard

You're a super awesome guy.

Everybody!

You're getting older

Live long and prosper

When it counts, may you roll high

Happy birthday to you, Leonard

You're a super awesome guy.

So say we all.

And just like at a W00tstock show, if you don't understand the jokes, ask the Nerd sitting next to you to explain it to you.  If you like the idea of Nerd-Folk as a genre, please support awesome independent music by shopping with Bandcamp or if you're lucky enough to be in the tour zone, see the Doubleclicks and Molly Lewis on the Ladies of Ragnarok tour this fall.

Late Update: The band has now seen the video, their reaction was positive, to say the least:
