Okay, I’ve fallen off the posting wagon again. And even worse, I’ve let this Kid Tune Tuesday thing go in to the witness relocation program. That list bit, though, isn’t because I’m being lazy. It appears that Mr. B has lost his interest in kid music. He has found the light of house party and dance music, and doesn’t want to turn back. And Miss P has happily joined him in Tween Music Land. I’m not really thrilled to come in here and post about their love for One Direction’s , The Wanted’s , or their new-found appreciation of anything by Rihanna (RiRi, you really should do a guest spot on Yo Gabba Gabba). And there’s not much of the kid-music stuff that my kids agree on. If Mr. B thinks it too childish, he will vehemently put his foot down and request a station change. And Miss P, by default of her age, can’t get an argument in either way, and is resigned to listening to Kids Place Live when Mr. B is not in the car with us. So this might be the last of these posts for a while.
But today I bring to you one of my favorite songs that gets played on Kids Place Live. The Not-Its are a great little band from Seattle. Puppy Dog is by far my favorite song of theirs, though you really should check out their whole album. And it’s got the right mix of kindie rock whimsy and rockin’ guitar riffs and drums to make it appealing to my little rock stars. And the dog at the beginning and end? Makes my kids long for a furry monster of their own. Thankfully, we have Bubble Boy (a.k.a. a very allergic Daddy) to rule that out.
Unfortunately, I can’t find video of this ditty, but I highly recommend clicking on the song title link and listening to it on iTunes.
MR B: I rock out to the rockin’ part…
MISS P: Aw, that doggie is so cute! I want one…
Darn, have some more kids so you can continue! JUST KIDDING. But seriously will miss these great recs! Not Your Ordinary Agent
NYOA – That’s funny. No, we will not be having another just to gain more kid music following, but I’ll see what I can do in the way of persuasion with the two I have. In all honesty, I’ll miss the kids music too, though we do find our way back to KPL some days.
We have a Christmas tape with Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, I’m Getting Nuttin’ for Christmas and The Chipmunks Christmas song on it. My 19-yr old demands it as a permanent staple in the car during the holidays!
Julie – I totally loved the Grandma song when I was a kid! There was a version of that for Mardi Gras (Grandma got run over by a King Float) that we got a good laugh from as well…
