More playful and childish songs like Manitoba / Caribou's Crayon? Glockenspiel / bells / vibraphones or similar instruments preferred. Bonus points for non-4/4 time.

Sorry, I listened to the melody and didn't read the bit about the bells requirement. Here's something by Gorque that more fits the bill.

Comedian's Gallup by a trio of two marimba players and bongos. They get fast.

Here's something called SP-404SX ambient track by a guy noodling on his sampler. (Somehow that just sounds naughty.)

And as for both playful and childish.. Super Mario Bros. arrangement for marimba and drumkit.
