I guess I don't understand why the switch needs to know..I thought the
router took care of IGMP joins etc..?

Ben,

        IGMP snooping is used on layer 2 switchports to determine of a
client located on that port has joined a multicast group. This behavior
is enabled by default. To view what information is learned via snooping
issue the "show ip igmp snooping group" command.
