Is it bad that my younger cousin can sing "Do It Again," "My Old School," and "Reelin in the Years"

[WritingIsMyReligion]

verbatim? 'Cause their father sure seems to think so.

*whistles innocently*

And her older sister knows the chorus to "Show Biz Kids," too!

:evilgrin:

1. Dunno

Who did those songs?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. Fucker.

:P

:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Fucker?

What genre are the? Sounds like a hardcore band.

[liberaltrucker]

3. Not at all

Good music transcends generations.

:toast: When you're of age, of course.
In the meantime, a DU :hug:

4. No marigolds in the promised land! There's a hole in the ground where they used to grow!

:thumbsup:

:hug:

6. Just don't teach them "Hey, Nineteen"

The Old Man would blow a gasket!

:rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. Hey nineteen! No, we can't dance together...No, we can't talk at all.

Please take me along when you slide on down..,

:rofl::rofl:

5. My kids can sing all of Johnny Cash's, most of Waylons and a good

deal of Merle. We also have a tape called Americana with "Saginaw, MI", "Sink the Bismarck" etc... that they can sing along with. :hi:

7. Show Biz Kids has a nasty word in it

:shock:

I'd recommend the younger one stick with 'My Old School' and 'Reelin'. 'Do It Again' has been way overdone.

Have her substitute 'Bodhisattva' :D:thumbsup:


(You're a GOOD cousin)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

12. She likes the piano/synth hit at the end of "Bodhisattva."

I don't think she can wrap her head around the word "bodhisattva," though. Perhaps I should spell it out for her.

[Floogeldy]

8. Nope

What's really bad is that you started a thread about it. ;)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. Score one for Donald Fagen.

:P

[BreweryYardRat]

10. Yes. Their father has good taste.

Steely Dan...is not that good, in my opinion. If you want good classic rock, listen to lesser-known songs by The Stones, or Zeppelin, or Clapton, or Hendrix. Teach those to the kids instead...not all of them, though. Don't want a kid singing "Mother's Little Helper," after all.

*ducks the inevitable reaction*

[WritingIsMyReligion]

14. I love the Stones, Zeppelin, Clapton, Hendrix.

(And no, "Mother's Little Helper"--good song!--would not be a good sing-a-long.)

But I still love Steely Dan. Fagen/Becker are so fucking weird. It's awesome. :P
