The video of the adorable youngsters who sang along to Pavement is making the internet rounds again this week (“Everything on the internet comes back around again.” – Ghandi), but there’s a lesser-viewed video from the same time of the kids singing Jarvis Cocker’s “Don’t Let Him Waste Your Time.” They only look forced in the beginning!

What I wanna know is WHERE ARE THESE KIDS NOW and why was their YouTube singing career cut short so quickly in 2007? Surely their version of MGMT’s “Time To Pretend,” with its inappropriate, yet ironic, lyrics, would make them the biggest thing since Box Cat. Stop practicing karate and come back, Pavement kids!

    epic joke fail by misspelling Gandhi!

  6. I couldn’t get through the super-annoying intro to tell if the rest is good or not. I usually trust your judgment on all things cute and ball related Lindsay, but ugh. There’s a reason kids’ voices change.
