Dr. Dog are the latest indie band to drop by crazed Nickelodeon kids show Yo Gabba Gabba. The "Jackie Wants A Black Eye" rockers dressed up as farmers to perform "When You're A Gardener" on song-specific instruments like pumpkin drums and a cucumber keyboard.

Check out the video below (especially the psychedelic bit toward the end):

When you're a gardener is awesome, but I don't think it stacks up to YGG classics like "Brush Your Teeth" by Of Montreal, "House Of Spooks" by The Shinys (Shiny Toy Guns) or "Mama Loves Baby" by Solange.

I've included them below for comparison.
