Yo Gabba Gabba: Music Is Awesome
collects most of the songs associated with the creative
Noggin
/
Nick Jr.
kid show
Yo Gabba Gabba
. These songs are intended to evoke both '70s bubblegum pop and modern indie rock with a bit of hip-hop and new wave thrown in. Sung by a cast of costumed creatures and their friend
DJ Lance Rock
, the songs are designed to get kids to dance and sing while gaining an understanding of things like their emotions (
"Don't Be Afraid"
), their bodies (
"Party in My Tummy"
), and the world (
"You Can't Always Get What You Want"
). Also included are performances featured on the show by such guest artists as
the Shins
,
Of Montreal
, and
the Roots
, all done with a similar have-fun-while-learning aesthetic.
