Bringing Up Daughters
When did the music that the kids listen to become so, I don't know, uncool?
I've been trying to introduce my kids to the music that I like in the hopes that the corporate pop machine won't latch onto them like some facehugger from the Alien films. This effort has been met, mostly, with failure. CoolDaughter #1 does love Belle and Sebastian's If You're Feeling Sinister and the occasional song here and there that she hears on the old satellite radio. CoolDaughter #2, on the other hand, is having none of it. She is a pop princess through and through and knows the lyrics to most of the songs topping the charts.
It's pretty sad when the best thing I can hope for is that they'll prefer Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson to Karmin or Cobra Starship.
Anyway, once CD #2 gets a load of this, I expect to hear, "Play it again, Daddy!" about a thousand times this weekend.
I don't hate this song at all... ...yet.
Happy Friday.
"Rock" on...
Well, this made me like the song--and Carly Rae--a little better. There's no accounting for taste, I guess, because I played Karmin's "Brokenhearted" for my kids yesterday to demonstrate its superiority to "Call Me Maybe." Not big on the rest of Karmin's catalog.
ReplyDeleteIn both this and the song's official video CRJ comes off as a pretty nice person. That will take her far.
Delete?uestlove never fails to crack me up here when he pops into frame for the chorus.
