Jitterbug's Summer Playlist

Your little campers have ants in their pants and they want to dance.

Instead of bugging out, crank up this summer playlist, handpicked just for us by Jitterbug, the go-to site for indie tunes for tykes.

“I Love You Too,” by Ziggy Marley featuring Rita & Cedella Marley
(Have a reggae old time.)

“Cool to Be Uncool,” by The Jimmies
(Unhip hooray!)

“Jump Up (It’s a Good Day),” by Brady Rymer
(We dare you not to sing along.)

“Clothes Dryer,” by Randy Kaplan
(It will spin them round.)

“7 8 9,” by Barenaked Ladies
(Do the math.)

The nice folks at Jitterbug have arranged with the artists to make these tracks available for a free download through August 15. Go to jitterbug.tv.
