Quinn loves, loves, LOVES several of the Sesame Street songs
with famous artists. His favorites include, Outdoors with Jason Mraz (to the
tune of “I’m Yours”), 1-2-3-4 with Feist (a spin on her famous song in honor of
the number 4), and Set Your Piggies Free by Ziggy Marley. (It's possible that I like What I Am with Will.I.Am. even more than Q does.)
I’ve searched high
and low for these and other songs on a CD or to download, but to no avail.
Then my super awesome and ever-so-helpful Hubs found this website – www.ListenToYouTube.com. It
takes any YouTube video and converts
it to an MP3 for free. Yes, really. I’m
not making this up. What? You heard about this forever ago? Well, I live under
a rock, and I just discovered it, so I’m telling you about it now, okay?
It’s not the highest quality sound file, but I doubt your
toddler will notice. It may not be the most ethical thing to convert the audio
from a YouTube video into an MP3, but it’s not a file sharing site. So it’s legal
– or legal-ish – at least for now. So enjoy it until it gets shut down.
You’re welcome. And if you come to my son’s second birthday
party next month, pretend to be surprised by the mix CD in the goodie bag that will include several of these bootleg Sesame Street songs. Oh, the things we do to
please our tots…
