I've been noticing a curious new trend. Marley is singing...all of the time! But not the songs that I expected.
When I imagined my little girl singing her first songs, I anticipated the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Rockabye Baby and some Elmo. While Marley does enjoy belting out an occasional "Twinkle, Twinkle," most of the time her musical repertoire consists of something a little more...adult.
Exhibit 1: Her love for the Lady. (Gaga, that is.) Marley can sing the chorus to Poker Face, LoveGame and a little Bad Romance too. All is fine and dandy until she starts singing lines like, "Lovin with my muffin" and talks about wanting to "take a ride on your disco stick."
Exhibit 2: Black Eyed Peas...baby style. Marley loves "Imma Be" and requests it as a bedtime song every night. Which, again, is sort of funny until she tries to sing parts like, "Imma be shakin my hips. You're gonna be lickin your lips." Really?
Exhibit 3: Mumford and Sons, "Little Lion Man." This would be OK, but the one verse she seems to know is, "It was not your fault but mine. It was your heart on the line. I really f-cked it up this time, didn't I my dear..."
Clearly I need to watch what we are playing in the car. That, or start purchasing the edited versions from Itunes. But even the EDITED versions of most songs on the radio are pretty skanky!
Even so, Marley's singing skills are dwarfed by her good friend Bella. Bella, who is 2 and a half, has cornered the market on adult songs. For example, Bella can sing "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere." You haven't seen funny until you see a sweet little girl with pig tails and bangs, singing, "Pour me something tall and strong. Make it a hurricane before I go insane."
But it gets better. According to AnnMarie, Bella's mom, Bella has a new fav--"Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum. She sings the lines "It's a quarter after one and I'm a little drunk and I need you now..."
And, last but not least, she can sing "California Girls" by Katy Perry. "California girls are unforgettable...daisy dukes bikinis on top."
Does your kid sing a wildly inappropriate--yet hilarious--adult song? What do they sing?
umm yes! noah used to love "bad romance" but his new favorite is "dyn-o-mite" (he calls it hands UP!) so cute, but I realized I need to watch it when the other day I started singing "tick tock on the clock and the party don't stop" and he chimes in with "tonight imma..." I could not believe he picked up on the words just from riding in the car! crazy!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it hilarious? And it makes you realize how crazy some of the songs are that they are exposed to every day! Don't even get me started on the music videos!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome...a little scary but awesome. When I was like 7 I was sing "I wanna sex you up" by Color Me Bad and "Like a Virgin" by Madonna. Hmmm...looking back at my teenage years, you guys might want to start on the Disney Tunes ASAP!
ReplyDeleteShane heard part of "California Girls" once in the car and now he keeps asking for the "kinis" (bikinis) song.
