In addition to the usual pedagogical/educational content, I’ve been enjoying the angles directed at parents. This is Patrick Stewart saying “Make it so, Number One!” clearly alluding to his role as Captain Pickard. Then there is Sarah Jessica Parker, “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFAE4tx22eA" target="_blank">Waiting for Big.</a>” Various singers’—<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ9WiuJPnNA" target="_blank">Feist</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrqF7yD10Bo" target="_blank">Jason Mraz</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEzxchU4RUY" target="_blank">Norah Jones</a>—modified versions of their popular songs are quite creative too.
