~BEEP~

After listening to this all morning (with headphones, because no-one needs to hear Cat sitting along with it) this version cracks me up - who decided it would make good prime time TV? Maybe the person who does the beeps was bored and needed a challenge.
(No language warning needed, it's nicely beeped and dropped out for your convenience)





Listening to music with kids around can be a challenge. You were always really good at remembering which words shouldn't be repeated in front of teacher, grandparents et al, but Cam is a bit more of a challenge. A few weeks ago his teacher caught him teaching other kids in the class how to spell f-u-c-k. When she first told me (in a spelled-out stage whisper - pointless when we've already established he knows how to spell it) I couldn't believe it - he'd never shown any aptitude for spelling before. Figured it best not to say that though, so I just shook my head like I had no idea where he could have possibly heard it. 


Then they get a little older, and you get to do the Live Music Sing-a-long Challenge. 
1. You're sitting next to your teenage daughter watching Ben Folds live at the Sydney Opera House. Do you sing along loudly all the way through this song?

(Answer: Fuuuuuuuuuck yeah!)

2. You're standing beside your teenage daughter watching Ani DiFranco at the Enmore Theatre. Firstly, Feminist Parenting WIN! Secondly, do you sing along loudly all the way through this song?

(Answer: Absobloodylutely, Sister!)

3. You drag your small-statured young adult daughter into the mosh at a Regurgitator gig (Are you CRAZY?!) Aside from the question of the large, drunk men making lewd comments and jumping around in her vicinity, do you sing along loudly with THIS song??

(Answer: I'm afraid so. Sigh.)

I'm just relieved they didn't play THIS.

I love this #2 (hey - it did happen again)

I'm still dancing from this - it's ok, no-one can see : ) Simon Pegg was talking it up all over Twitter last week, but I didn't get time to watch it 'till now, but hopefully not everyone in the world has already seen it.

As well as being massively catchy, it's also fun to sing along with. But not in front of you sister, brother, grandparents, great-grandparents, or employer. There, my responsibility is absolved.



(Also, this embed doesn't fit properly at all. Does anyone know how I should fix that? I've got it at the default width=640, height=385 which is patently wrong, but how do I know what to change them to?)

Update: Hey check it out! Embed issue all fixed with assistance from the lovely Mr Casey Moon-Watton. What a legend. And, if you're in the market, so very datable. Initial enquiries to me, thank you.

Fruit

Here's the video we were talking about.




Also, you may not remember seeing this the first time (you were very little), but we sang along. I love singing along with you, it's one of the funnest things ever  : )



ALSO, how bizarre is this?!

I Love This #1 (Because how could that not happen again?)

I totally love this! Of course you've seen the original version, because you live on this planet. (If not, click here, and don't tell anyone) But this is soooo much cooler. I loved their other stuff, but this is more awesome.



I'm going to go listen to it again now : )
