Your Tuesday Moment of Words Fail Me

From their 2011 album Kids Sing Bob Dylan, please enjoy The Starbugs and the damndest version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" you'll ever hear.

Spoiler alert: The girl in the middle behind the microphone is standing on a wooden box.



Seriously, that brought tears to my eyes. And it occurred to me that those children were only slightly younger than I was the first time I heard The Byrds do the song, an event which literally changed my life forever.

In any case, I think the great Lothar and the Hand People said it best. Kids ARE little people.
