Videos I watch with my nephew

I've been meaning to post a lot of videos; but I suppose we should keep it in digestible doses. Here are some videos that I show my nephew when he comes over.

I don't know the origin of this particular incarnation--it appears to be a mix of all of the 12 original Pinball Number Counts.

And the last, Sesame Post-punk/new wave done very well:
