There's really nothing better than Sesame Street monsters and a catchy tune. Honestly, I'm decades old and watching SS still melts my heart. Since I have no clue how to embed a You Tube video on here, I'll send some traffic over to the ChordStrike blog (written by the staff of Amazon Music, of which my brother is the managing editor) and let you view Feist singing "1234" with monsters, penguins, and chickens. I'll be toe-tapping to this song all day, I tell ya.

A Fiesta Mood
The kids are obsessed with "Fiesta" (or, according to R., the "Pee-esta song"), the raucous, faux Spanish song by the Irish band the Pogues.
"I am Francisco Vasquez Garcia, I am welcome to Almeria
It’s a fairly nonsensical song that nonetheless kept me and my roommate and best friend Holly, well, pretty festive on many nights in college. We even made a party tape that became legendary called the Fiesta Tape. Fast-forward sixteen years and imagine to two little kids just jamming with reckless abandon to drunken Shane MacGowan (and belting out slightly questionable lyrics), and you can understand how hilarious our evenings have been lately. The band’s now a recurring favorite on our iTunes mixes, which has reminded me why I loved this band with all my heart when I was young and drank many a pint in salute of its lyrical rebellion.
"Come all you rambling boys of pleasure,
And ladies of easy leisure.
We must say Adios! until we see
Almeria once again.
